He knew Bill the moment he rose, and leant on him till he had somewhat recovered.
' I shall not forget. Bill,' he said, ' that you have saved your colonel's life.' We had a fierce struggle, master, ere we beat out the French ; but, broken and half-naked as we were, we did beat them out, and the battle became general.
" At first the flare of the artillery, as the batteries blazed out in the darkness, dazzled and blinded me ; but I loaded and fired incessantly ; and the thicker the bullets went w...histling past me, the faster I loaded and fired. A spent shot, that had struck through a sand-bank, came rolling on like a bowl, and, leaping up from a hillock in front, struck me on the breast. It was such a blow, master, as a man might have given with his fist; but it knocked me down, and ere I got up, the company was a few paces in advance.
The bonnet of the soldier who had taken my place came rolling to my feet ere I could join them. But alas ! it was BILL WHYTE. 225 full of blood and brains; and I found that the spent shot had come just in time to save my life.
