For Monsieur, it is his first time this season." He evidently took me for an old habitue.
However, the Admiral, who was a good horseman, speedily disengaged himself, and turned to secure another mount when he perceived that Colonel Beraud, his chief of staff, who had been riding behind him, had been wounded by the same shell, and had fallen from his horse. I saw the Colonel being carried to a neighbouring farmhouse, and was afterwards told that he had died there.
Père Moutot has been twenty-three years in China six years at the sacred Mount Omi, and seventeen years in Suifu; Père Béraud has been twenty-three years in Suifu.
