There are holes in the ceiling OF the

feet high and twenty yards long. the
Germans had piled along the north
aisle. We tried to catch the sparks in

German wounded as were able to walk
helped us.
"But the first spark that fell on the
pile set 1t blazing. There was time to
think Of nothing but getting out the
wounded. They screamed horribly.
We carried many of those who could
not walk, while others dragged them
selves painfully along to the side door
in the north aisle. Those who had
only hand and arnswounds helped their
comrades. We got out AL except thir-
teen whose bodies lie here now" !.
