We found the oxen ready for us; but if we looked wretched, the animals were a match. They had been bitten by the flies, thousands of which were at this spot. Their coats were staring, ears drooping, noses running, and heads hanging down all the symptoms of fly-bite, together with extreme looseness of the bowels. I saw that it was all up with our animals.
Was Basil well? "Yas'm. Young Cap'n didn' min' dat little bullet right through his neck no mo'n a fly-bite. Nothin' gwine to keep dat boy back." They had let him out of the hospital, or, rather, he had gotten out by dressing himself when his doctor was not there. An attendant tried to stop him.
"Two epidemics of typhoid, two of yellow fever, and one of smallpox that's my record, sir!" "Looks like my children will ketch a fly-bite," said the miller, apologetically. A little farther on the doctor was stopped again this time by a maiden in a pink-and-white gingham, with a mass of light curls bobbing about her face. "Dad!" she called as she scrambled over the fence. "Where you g-going, dad?"
The agony from the insects made me desperate, but it was the yapping of those wolves that drove me crazy. I chewed through the leather straps binding my shoulder, chewed the shoulder with it, boy, and broke loose, with the blood running from every fly-bite, my eyes blinded with their poison, my throat cracked with thirst.
