After two halts in sunken roads orders were received to occupy Niger trench once more, but by this time the fighting had died down. Although constantly on the alert, no further orders were received, and after two nights there, the Battalion was relieved by the 14th Division and returned to Telegraph Hill.
"I say, Power," said a tall, dashing-looking man of about five-and-forty, with a Portuguese order on his breast, "I say, Power, dine with us at the halt." "With pleasure, if I may bring my young friend here." "Of course; pray introduce us." "Major Hixley, Mr. O'Malley, a 14th man, Hixley." "Delighted to make your acquaintance, Mr. O'Malley.
'My dearest Isa, I was telegraphed for to Paris last week, and arrived time enough to pass twenty-four hours more with my father: he died on the 14th quite exhausted by internal haemorrhage, which would have overcome a man of thirty.

I saw him on the 14th, and found him engaged in perusing some intelligence he had just received from the Duke of Vicenza, announcing, as beyond all doubt, the early signature of peace.

Went to the highest point on the stony range east of us, but could only see a very short distance. There are a number of creeks on the eastern side running into this one. The range is low and very stony, composed of flints and pebbles of all colours. No timber. Wednesday, 14th July, Same Place.
The Paris Havas found Bozhidar Karageorgevitch more communicative and published an interview in which he pleasantly stated that the event had caused him no surprise as he had foreseen it ever since the marriage with Draga. On the 14th I drove down to Cattaro with my sister to see her off by steamer. Cattaro, as usual in the summer, lay panting at the water's edge.
