crutch-"but a paeSano from my town
told me this true story about him:
"My friend was orderly to an artil-
lery captain and one day he went off
with his officer to examine a newly
placed battery which the king was ex-
pected to come up to inspect. All of
a sudden, while the captain and my
friend were there, the Austrians got
the range and began to fire. A shrap-
mel ball hit the captain who, as he fell,
shouted to his orderly to run and save
himself. The artilleryman got into
panic and some of them began rum
ing back, not even minding passing
the kings motor, which had just come
up. OF course, my friend stood by his
officer and tried to stanch the blood
from his wound, but the captain was
fast dying and the orderly was so
heartbroken and excited that, seeing
the men running away and hearing the
horn of his majesty's motor sounding
farther and farther away in the dis
lance, he grew rather desperate and
throwing himself over his captains
dead body, shouted aloud, Even the
king leaves us' He had hardly said
this when someone touched him on the /
shoulder and, turning around, whom
should he see but the king himself |
standing there quietly as if no shells
were bursting about. The orderly rose
stood at attention, shaking in his boots
but Victor Emanuel said to him: my
son, the motor has gone, but the king
remains with his soldiersp And my
friend and his majesty sat beside the
captains body until the stretcher bear
ers came and carried it away"
