We heard that Dr. May and the Krag people were at Studenitza, an old monastery, halfway along the road to Rashka. On the flat fields behind the station were another gang of "Stobarts," the dispensary from Lapovo. One Miss H was in trouble, for thieves had pushed their arms beneath the tent flaps in the night and had captured her best boots.

His goal was a monastery in Montenegro, where he said they would house and feed him for the winter in exchange for a little work. At 11.30 three horses were brought. Three more were promised, so we reluctantly decided to start the next day. There was nothing to do. Our carriages went. We gave the corporal a card-house to take back to Rashka with little faith that he would not try to stick to it.

Four days later, after driving the Serbians from their intrenchments in the Stolovi ranges, he reached Rashka, which had been the seat of the Serbian Government after its flight from Kralievo and which was situated on the Ibar, some distance along the road to Mitrovitza and only a few miles from Novi Bazar.

By this time the Serbian headquarters at Kralievo was seriously threatened; in fact, the Serbian Government was able to withdraw just in time to prevent capture and establish itself in Rashka. On came the enemy, along both banks of the Western Morava.
