related thus:
Gust as I was about stepping from

governor of the island ordered me to

,prehensions that some restraint was
to be put upon me. On meeting the
governor, he asked me: How long do
you contemplate staying in Bourbon?'
Ny answer was, Not more than a day
or two Can't you leave here to-
night? he asked. I replied, If you
wish it. Then he added, AS you had
he politeness to call on me this morn

on injured, hearken to my advice
nd leave here tonight if possible
HE cautioned me to secrecy, and l

CLUB HIS WEAPON; He GETS REVENGE

recently, when during a German air
raid over England his baby girl was
crippled for life by a bomb. Black
had become bitter against the Ger
mans and had sworn that he would
exact full penalty for the airman's
deed.
The captain little knew when he
turned in for the night of November
~ how soon he would get his revenge.
Next morning the Germans attacked
Masnleres, and the brigade to the
right of the troops holding the town
was forced to fall back. The brigade
IN the town, however, stood firm and
fought the enemy off. Meanwhile.
waves of Germans had swept by to
the south of the town and were swarm
ing westward
Captain Black came out of his head.
quarters, south of Marcoing, to find
i've Germans already in possession of
a great dump nearby. Black had in
MS hand heavy walking stick which
was his only weapon. Without a mo-
ment's hesitation he charged the dump
alone and beat about him so fiercely
that he Drained all five opponents be-
fore they recovered from the SURPRISE.
He had made good his VOW, but his
work was not finished.
Other Germans appeared west of Les
Rues Vertes, southern suburb of Mas
nleres. Black collected all the signal
ers, cooks, orderlies and other serv.
ants available, and with two companies
OF regulars delivered an attack toward
Rues Vertes. The Germans fell back
and fierce hand-to-hand fighting fol-
lowed. Black led his little army from
house to house, and as often as the
Germans made stand he drove them
out, until finally the whole suburb had
| been cleared, with the exception of
| one machine gun. whose crew of eight
men kept pumping bullets into the
British ranks.
Black charged this machine gun with
one orderly. Four other orderlies had
been shot down beside him previously.
| and this one also was caught as the
machine gun was reached. Black then
attacked the Germans with a revolver
in each hand and shot down the last
man of eight. This cleared Rues
Vertes of the enemy and outposts were
| established about the place. Black
had been wounded during the fighting.
| but he held on to his command until
relief came next day.
This story is not the only one to he
related of that bitter day about Mas
nieres. A regiment which had the
stiffest part of the fighting in the town
was made up of troops known as Idle
hards," and they fought all day with
rifles and bayonets at close quarters
and never gave step. During the
/ fighting the colonel had been wound
ed in one eye, and so serious was his
injury that his other eye became use
less. His troops continued to be 50
hard pressed that it seemed probable
they would give way.
The colonel knew they needed all the
encouragement possible. He called for
an orderly, and, led by his servant, he
started making a round Of the front
line to speak words Of announcement
to his troops. For hours this blind
man, with bandaged eyes, kept up his
tramp among his men with his hand in
that of his orderly guide. This heroic
example was the final word for the
Tommies. They loved their colone,
and they stood and died for him and
held their line.
