Far and near floated through the clear night air the familiar melody that warned every soldier not on duty to go to bed. Next to the 200th Ind. lay a regiment of wild Michigan veterans, who struck up, following the strains of the bugles: Say, oh Dutch'y, will ye fight mit Si-gel? Zwei glass o' la-ger, Yaw! Yaw! Yaw!!! Will yet fight to help de bul-ly ea-gle?
As they drew near we kept the dogs well in, and made no noise, so that they did not stop till they came near us. Fritz had brought his Ea-gle with him, which he now let fly. At one swoop the bird came down on the head of the Os-trich, held on with its beak, and struck out its wings with great force, as if to stun it. We now rode up close to the scene of war.
I must tell you that once when he came to these parts with Ernest he met with a TI-GER, and would have lost his life had it not been for his pet Ea-gle. The brave bird, to save Fritz from the beast, made a swoop down on its head. Fritz thus got off with a scratch or two, but the poor bird was struck dead by a blow from the paw of its foe.
Each day we spent a part of our time at what we could now call the farm, where the beasts and fowls were kept, and did odd jobs as well, so that we should not make too great a toil of the flight of stairs, which took us some six weeks to put up. One day Fritz caught a fine EA-GLE, which he tied by the leg to a branch of the tree, and fed with small birds.
