O'Rourke had no time to think OF his
companions. Stung to desperation by
the silent, unrelenting fury of his as
sailants-twice he was conscious of
the white-hot agony of knife-thrust,
one penetrating the flesh of his side
and scraping his ribs. the other biting
deep into his thigh-he fired until he

power to the utmost, and cast the
