Steadied by the R.S.M., the party started one by one to withdraw, while the enemy kept up a heavy fire at them. For a moment it looked as though it would be impossible to get back, but Pte. Caunter Lewis Gunner of No. 1 Platoon calmly mounted his gun and "traversed" the whole edge of the wood.
There were no signs that anyone had entered the room, and it is quite certain that anything in the nature of cries, or a struggle, would have been heard, since Caunter, the elder boy in the inner room, is a very light sleeper. "When Lord Saltire's disappearance was discovered I at once called a roll of the whole establishment, boys, masters, and servants.
If we get Chubb and a man or two from the village the first thing in the morning, they can help Caunter to open the room and have it ready for him after lunch."

It may be better for him." They waited, and, during the few moments before Caunter returned, Sir Walter spoke again.
