American Consul at Tarragona. Spain

bright to begin before. We worked till
about two in the morning. when suddenly
the Germans began Smelling as they gen

"All his men jumped to cover in the

was. Whether he had no time to take
cover in the trench or whether he pre-
ferred to stay at his post to show he was
not afraid, nobody knows, but when the
Germans had finished their music. some
of his men went to look for him and
found HIM lying on the ground, his face
to heaven-a piece of shell had gone
through his body.
