of the East river The whole city
seemed to be burning. At least the
whole water front was screened in
smoke which swept over the river and

the Brooklyn side. The noise Of the
guns on Long Island also was louder.

through 1t. There was fight at the
top Of the stairs. Soldiers were trying
to turn back men who were crushing
to get into the subway. They strug-
gled and swore. The battalion brought
help to the guards and cleared the
stairs. Company F, following Company
e, came out to the street. The end
Of Brooklyn bridge lay before them,
shrouded in the smoke which rose from
the tenement blocks which were burn
ing. From the smoke men staggered
and stumbled-men in uniform and
with rifles, uniformed men without
guns, and others without uniform or
rife, but wearing the arm bands and
the brown shirts Of American recruits.
Shells burst above them and scsmied
them on. These were not the monster
shells which had been striking further
up in the city. These were smaller and
came much quicker and burst with two
different sorts of defamation. One sort
made little noise The other burst with
shock and roar Of the same type, only
much less, as the shock Of the shell
which had dazed the battalion.
"Shrapnel that! And that's high ex-
plosive!'
"Yes!'
Column tours! Column fours!" the
company officers were begging. "For.
ward! Forward, men! March,!
A bugle blew the signal over and
over again. The battalion moved SLOW
~ toward the bridge. Shrapnel and
the quick, ceaseless high explosive
shells were bursting above Company
F now.
"Oh, I'm hit!" The soldier who
cried it caught at Jim's shoulder and
dragged there. Beyond him another
man went down without cry or gasp.
He just crumpled, and the man march
ing behind stepped on the body before
he knew it.

got to come on! Oh, come on, you

Never mind the wounded! That
meant-for Jim Ashby-that he must
free himself from the fingers of the
man clasping his shoulders. He must
let the man fall on his face in the
street.
"Ashbyr Winslow, the captain, ap-
pealed to him because he was cor
poral. At least he had uniform.
"Help bring up those men! Forward!
Make 'em come ont"
Jim freed himself from the wounded
man and laid him. groaning and crop
ing, on his back in the street.
"Come on. boys!" Most Of Company
F faltered forward little. For the
moment the shells were worse behind
than in front. The company advanced
further. Winslow's voice cried in
praise: "That's the stuff. boys! Don't
let the New Workers think we're afraid.
Come on, now!'
The New Workers.! If they were the
men running from the bridge they had

one else. They were running mad,
crazy with fear, and ducking their
heads and trying to dodge when the
