The student in arms would not have had us despair. Peace when it comes will make demands on our fortitude. There will be many lying in the no-man's land between vice and virtue who will need to be rescued at great risk. There will be many forlorn hopes to be led against disease, the foster child of vice, that has gained strength under the cover of war.
The line here was held in a way we had not encountered yet, although the general principles of the defence were the same as ever. The main line of resistance was in the second line of the old Hindenburg Support Line, and our portion lay between the shattered villages of Inchy and Moeuvres. In front of this line there were a series of posts in No-Man's Land, each held by ten or twelve men.
Just before we pass the cliff and river which marks where No-Man's Land ends and Natal begins these little locations are more frequently to be observed, though what their inhabitants subsist on is a marvel to me, for we are only a mile or so from shore, and all the seeing power of all the field-glasses on board fails to discern a solitary animal.
How they bring the old ways of life back with their love and longing! Dear mother's tie will be worn to-morrow, and it will be ripping to feel that it was made by her hands. Your cross has not arrived yet, dear. Your mittens will be jolly for the winter. I've heard nothing from the boys yet. To-day I took a trip into No-Man's Land when the war is ended I'll be able to tell you all about it.
You may pause now and pick an anemone in that terrible no-man's land, where the skeletons of our old dead, picked clean by the jackals, were found otherwise untouched when we came again in the November of '18. You can see the damped, slightly discoloured patches where dead men lay, and even find still now and then a human bone of friend or foe, who now can tell?
And after his return to Pontiac he never asked for it. His mood was defiant, morbid, stern. His wood he chopped from the common known as No-Man's Land. His clothes he made himself out of the skins of deer that he shot; when his powder and shot gave out, he killed the deer with bow and arrow. The end came at last. Luc was taken ill.
So again, in time of peace and except with a view to eventual hostilities, it would involve no loss, and presumably little pecuniary gain, to any country, locality, town or class, if all merchant shipping were registered indiscriminately under neutral colors and sailed under the neutral no-man's flag, responsible indiscriminately to the courts where they touched or where their business was transacted.
He moved away and left the pair together the mannish woman and the womanish man, looking at each other, the man in admiration and the woman in veiled disdain. "You are a comely girl," Noel affirmed roundly. Huguette laughed. "This is news from no-man's land." Noel spoke lower. "Where do you lodge?" Huguette was a woman of business in an instant.
My men will not fire a shot unless they encounter resistance." Robert looked towards the approaching boat. She would not land yet for a couple of minutes. "By the way," he said, "will you tell me your name?" "Playdon Lieutenant Philip H. Playdon." "Do you know to what nation this island belongs?" "It is no-man's land, I think. It is marked 'uninhabited' on the chart."
"No, not yet." "There are only two things barring disease which can so split the brain in two send the biggest part off, knight-errant or Saracen, into some No-Man's Country, and keep the other piece here in Virginia to crack invaders' skulls! One's love and one's hate " "Never both?" "Knight-errant and Saracen in one? That's difficult." "Nothing is so difficult as life, nor so strange.
