INSURANCES

The destruction of a Russian battery in one of the recent engagements is picturesquely described by M. Nemirovitch Donchenko, the well-known novelist and special correspondent of the Russki Slovo and Associated Press.

Is there really a force in the world capable of compelling our men to move away? Yes, there is, and there it is before me. Something indescribably terrible. Scores of shrapnel cases explore at the same time above the doomed battery. Scores of fires flash from the white clouds, scores of small clouds melt into a larger one, shutting from us the unfortunate fat space, the black lines and black spots. The awful business of the Japanese gunners is not interrupted for moment. Iammerable grenades break anew

into a triumphant chorus. They dig into the

soil of the hill and throw up brown masses of cloud that appear to be tinged with blood. These masses are soon merged into one, shutting unt from us a hell that is celebrating its erual victory there. Everything becomes confused and mingled-it is impossible to distinguish anything. It appears as though hundreds of fire-breathing dragons, such as the Chinese believe in, have broken away tróni their chains and accomplishing their wicked purpose behind that brown surtsin under the murky shades of the explosion. We still distinguish in this pitchy smoke the rare auswering rays of “our” fire, the dull sounds of our shots. There the dying battery rasounds with a volley. Another! It will still struggle on; it will silence them. We listen greedily We pass from despair to hope. A little more space, and it will answer the foo's fire. Where does the enemy get all his force? Where is the source of his firs? By what roads does he bring the guns, which seem at that moment innumer able? Everything is confused in my eyes and PIYA. The strapual clouds become thicker and thicker, the brown explosions of the shell heavier and more compact..

My heart is heavy. It is like watching the flickering-life of the sufferer on a death bad-like watching the death of someone who has suddenly become near and dear to you. What does it matter that bullets are now

whistling near our head, that the foe is firing at us from some unknown place, that twosoldiers have already fallen close by. There a whole battery is coming to an end amid terrible con- Tulsions.

They were engaged solely in pora- tions connected with the fishing industry by which they subsisted.
