The commanding officer-Lieutenant-Gen eral Matsumura of the First Division-called us to his mess. We had veal cutlets breaded, onions, and potatoes steaming hot, barley soup, warm course dinner on a mountain peak in the midst of battle. Outside the tent, every inch of whose flaps was staked down by heavy rocks, the wind howled in from the inlet whose beauty was lost with day. We sought rest on some bean straw, under our blankets, the September moon streaming in, but there was no rest.
A flash in our eyes throws the mountain into silhouette of firo and then plunges it in blackness. It is the searchlight on the extreme Russian left wheeling into position. Another fares out of the night. In between, the others dance, now a minuet, now a tarantella.

Suddenly the heavy firing on our side ceases, while holding on as vigorously as the afternoon objective has changed. This time it is the before. With the renewed bombardment the road leading to itze Hill over which all our shrapnel is playing. And down there we see the whole story. The Russians are retreating, throwing their riffes as they run. Namakayama now is under the enemy's fire, and over it floats the white flag with the red sun in the centre.
Two hours later a fat old man with a heavy
beard and baggy trousers is bought in a prisoner, An officer originally in the Commiss ary Department, he was called into the firing line, business being dull in his department and the line officers depleted. He commanded six companies on Namakoyama. He looks at us sullenly. He has been wounded in the arm and has no greeting for us, though we are white. To him Port Arthur has fallen.

I stood at the end of my ing the Valley of the Shadow of Death as by a candelabra of stars. Its path is crossed by another. Still a third leaps into life till the night is brilliant with fireworks. All spectacle for us-but what hideous glory! A grow! among the mountains-rolling into power and horror as it dings out a crack upon the farther side. A naval shell from our left has burst in Itse Hill. The fons respond, the mountains reply. The small arms open up, the machine guns rattle, the pom-poms clatter, in, Pitch, fuzz, dingle and pop are drowned. Crash, roar,

-We passed down the "Valley of the Shadow on our way home. A line of stretchers was winding in and out past the tungas-all laden. The path could be traced with blood. As we passed a hidden ravine, up which the stretchers were going to the first aid hospital, an officer harried out, saw and made for us, waving a piece of paper. Someone wanted to see the man from America. On the operating table I found Nabuto, the surgeon deftly sewing a bloody hole in his side. He was unconscious They carried him aside to a tent, waited The red stream kept on, Half-an-hour later the same officer came to say we need wait no longer.
