The young priest soon pushed aside the partition, and I then saw Marie Le Gallec, with a beaming face, eating his abominable bread sop. He soon fell asleep but awoke before long and asked for something to drink, and then died in a slight fit of choking.
His poor chest caused him to hiss out the word, and he made the greatest efforts to repeat his emphatic request. I sent immediately to the Marine Office, thinking that there would surely be some Breton seamen there, and I explained my difficulty and my ignorance of the Breton dialect. I was informed that the word "barra" meant bread. I hurried at once to Le Gallec with a large piece of bread.
He had been struck by a bullet in the chest and another in the wrist. Dr. Duchesne bound up his chest firmly, and attended to his wrist. He then said to me very simply: "Let him have anything he likes he is dying." I bent over his bed, and said to him: "Tell me what would give you pleasure, Marie Le Gallec." "Soup," he answered promptly, in the most comic way.
How excusable their rebellion seems during the Commune, and even their bloodthirsty madness! My ambulance was full. I had sixty beds, and was obliged to improvise ten more. The soldiers were installed in the green-room and in the general foyer, and the officers in a room which had been formerly the refreshment-room of the theatre. One day a young Breton, named Marie Le Gallec, was brought in.
