two forces met. There was but one way
Won Zckermann must turn round and

When the dawn broke Won Kicker

decision known to them. From that
minute the spirit went out OF the band;
they marched YEARLY. they did a shorter

away articles OF accoutrement. at first
surreptitiously. then all but openly.
1t was in vain that their Major that

any one could lead them back to safety, It
would be this settler. who saw signs
that escaped their eyes. who heard
sounds which left their ears deaf. who
showed them when there was game about
