But Davyv Crockett was weak from

again. His sight was failing. He
could not make out the figures OF
the soldiers confronting him. With

men were az hungry as bears, and
this providential succor kept them in
a merry mood.

be surprised In the night, Clark led
his men against the fort that after

Night had fallen, and all was still
when they entered the deserted

opened fire.

one American was wounded In the

leaving the stronghold and its stores

Clark later distinguished himself In

never before, perhaps, has the theater
been crowded with an audience more de-

hundreds stood in the rear of the seats
