STRANGE BURIAL SCENE ------ ♦ ♦♦ ------

ago a iiie.sseiiger caiiie to the hospital with a request that a L’adre should go out to Hie troiiclu's to hiiry a jioor lad who liad died of wounds. Being on the sjiot, I wabvod out witli him. I t was verv dark, but the way w.as not diificult to iiud'.

I t is difficiiit for me to imagine a iiioro


impressive scene than that which followed. A little wav from the station. iii the middle of the hattlofield, under the cloud of night, a lonely grave liad boon dug, aud thero u as laid tlie stib form of a soldier lad wT.apjied iu a camp hJaiiket. A brief service wa.s eoiiductod by the M.ulit of a lantern which hroiight out ill somhro relief the sad faec.s of the bearers wlio stood aromid. The air was stib .and almost imjiressively gloom}'.. “ Tlirougli the gloom the crackling of


I'iflo fire, the rattli* of maxims, aud the occasional boom of a heavy gun at tiiiie.s


threatened to droini the siie.akor’s voice. -Now and again “ star ” sliells, lighting iqi


guarding a sei-ie.s of wi'lls—water is preeioiis here. x\ few huiulretl yards furtlier on I saw by the beautiful green bghts of Hie hospital .ship sliowing over the liib that I was on the straight track for our caiiiji. I reaelied my tent just aliout mid-night vcr.v tired, hut vcr.v tliaiiUfuI.’'
