Four heads appeared, soaking wet, four fair heads with long, sandy hair, and one after another the six Germans emerged scared, shivering and dripping from head to foot. They were seized and bound.

They had lighted big fires of dead wood at which to warm themselves, and the figures of the runners were illumined by the flames as they passed rapidly from the camp on the right to that on the left. Some one shouted: "It's your turn now, Maloison." Maloison was a fat baker, whose corpulent person served to point many a joke among his comrades. He hesitated. They chaffed him.
