scouting party of six men was sent out
from the town of Bacoor in LuZon, to
locate. if possible. the position of band
of insurgent Fflipinos presumably in that
part of the country. The men stopped
some four five miles from the town.
and one of the party made his way to
point of vantage a short distance from
the others. Without warning, the sur
rounding fields of sugar cane became
alive with men. and what proved to be a
band of thirty-five insurgents made their
attack. The man who found himself
alone used first his ammunition, and then
fought with the butt of his rifle, but was
unable to reach the rest of the party.
When he arrived at camp severely
wounded he could scarcely tell how he
had made his way. Meanwhile the re-
mainder Of the scouting party took refuge
in the cane and opened fire. But one OF
their men was killed almost instantly anu
another seriously wounded.
Death awaited them all unless Corp.
CLEARWATER and Private Leary coulo
find some means of returning to the
camp. With the ammunition from the
cartridge belts of the dead and wounded
soldiers they forced the insurgents to re-
treat slightly. The firearms and powder
of the latter were of an inferior make
and rather scant. thus giving a small
advantage to our two men. During the
short respite, Corp. CLEARWATER crept
through the cane some four or 1--WE hum
dred yards. and along the road discov-
cred an old Filipino farmer with his ut
tie wooden cart drawn by a caribou. AT
the point of gun he forced him back to
the place where he had left ms COM
rades, and there with the aid or Leary,
who had stayed to, protect them, our
wounded and dead were laid in the cart.
