The fort looked squarely down on Verdun, and over its grassy height came the drumming of the battle, and the frequent crash of big shells falling into the city.

At this the natives fairly yelled in excitement and repeated over and over, "Pom pom pom pom!" "Bang-bang!" "Pom-pom!" We suddenly understood the phrase that they had used so often.
