he cautiously rused his head and
was relieved to see he was alone
except for the four still forms be-
side him. With great difficulty he
dragged himself along till he gained
the open country beyond the village.
There he was discovered during the
night by a German patrol, taken for
a member Of Frsnch reeonnoIterinE
party, wounded In a recent skirmish,
and conveyed to a field hospital.
In the hospital the German surgeon
advised amputati,.n of his wounded
arm, but Augier refused to undergo
the operation. From here he was
later sent to q German hospital in
the rear, and eventually, when he
had sufficiently recovered. to q pris-
on camp. He had become q cripple,
his right arm was useless and he
could only hobble along with q
stick, while his forehead bore Q livid
scar.
-Four months ago he was sent y

reached Paris the five bullets were
extracted.
His marvellous, escape from death,
he attributes to a scapular, given him
by his mother, and which never left
