CHAPTER III
LIFE AND DEATH


Morning found them but little, II at all
refreshed. though 1t was with feeling
OF intense relief that they saw the day
dawn
As soon a 8 they had made their meagre
breakfast of salt pork, coffee and biscuit.
clayton commenced work upon their
house, for he realized that they could
hope for no safety and no peace of mind
at night until four strong walls effectually
barred the Jungle life from them.
The task was an arduous one and re-
qulred the better part of month, though
he built but one small room. He con-
structed his cabin of small logs about
six inches in diameter, stopping the
chinks with clay which he found at the
depth of few feet beneath the surface
soil
At one end he built fireplace of small
stones from the beach. These also he set
in clay, and when the house had been
entirely completed, he applied a coating
of the clay to the entire outside surface
to the thickness of four inches.
In the window opening he set small
branches about an inch in diameter both
vertically and horizontally, and 80 woven
that they formed n substantial grating
that could withstand the strength of az
powerful animal Thus they obtained air
and proper ventilation without fear of

The A-shaped roof was thatched with

tinualiy infest the vicinity Of the cabin;
but as he never again ventured outside
! without both rife and revolvers, he had
little fear OF the huge beasts.
He had strengthened the window pro-
tections and 1tted a unique wooden lock
70 the cabin door, so that when he hunted
tor game and fruits, as It was constantly
necessary for him to do to insure sus-
tenance. he had no fear that any animal
could break into the little home.
AT first he shot much OF the game from
the cabin windows, but toward the end
the animals learned TO fear the strange
lair whence issued the terrifying thunder
OF his rife.
In his leisure Clayton read, often aloud
to his wife, from the store OF books ne
had brought for their new home Among
these were many for little children-pic-
ture books, primers readers-for they had
known that their little child would be
old enough for such before they might
hope to return to England.
At other times Clayton wrote In his
diary, which he had always been accus-
toned to keep In French. and in which he
recorded the details OF their strange life.
This book he kept locked in little
metal box.
A year from the day her little son was
born Lady Alice passed quietly away in
the night So peaceful was her end that
IL was hours before Clayton could awake
TO realization that his wife was dead.
The horror of the situation came to him
very slowly, and It Is doubtful that he
ever fully realized the enormlty OF his
sorrow and the fearful responsibility
that had devolved upon him with the
care of that wee thing, his son, etill al
nursing babe
The last entry in his diary was made
the morning following her death, and
there he recites the sad details In a mat
ter-of-fact way that adds to the pathos
of It; for it breathes a tired apathy born
OF long sorrow and hopelessness, which
even this cruel blow could scarcely awake
to further suffering:
My little son is crying for nourishment
% Alice. Alice. what shall I do?
And as John Clayton wrote the last
words his hand was destined ever to
pen. he dropped his head YEARLY upon
his outstretched arms where they rested
upon the table he had built for her who
lay still and cold In the bed beside him.
For long time no sound broke the
deathlke stiffness of the jungle midday
save the piteous waillng of the tiny man
child.

Villers' first campaign was in 1876. In

the shell had gone a little too far

But here's another point In this twentieth

where not to hit
Later In the day we saw an astonish-

English trenches at Ploegstreet Through
a periscope we looked across the deep
green grass of No Mans Land and saw
the German trenches not block dis

Suddenly from behind us came the yell

over us.
