In this desperate extremity Mr. Hilliard and Mr. Payne volunteered another and last effort of three months personal labor to arouse their fellow citizens to a proper sense of the importance and ultimate value of this grand undertaking.
A message similar to the foregoing was addressed by King George to the princes and the people of India. The King's eldest son, the young Prince of Wales, volunteered for active service at the outset of the war and was gazetted as a second lieutenant in the First Battalion, Grenadier Guards. He also inaugurated and acted as treasurer of a national fund for the relief of sufferers by the war.
I will mention incidentally, that after his encounter with the Sergeant no one ever again volunteered to "polish" him off. Andersonville did not improve either his temper or his communicativeness. He seemed to want to get as far away from the rest of us as possible, and took up his quarters in a remote corner of the Stockade, among utter strangers.
"De gent could buy a badge and get in," volunteered Old Bill. The lid of Mike's right eye drooped like the slide of a lantern, as he answered: "He couldn't get wan now it's too late; just wait ye here, sir, and if the b'y's there wit' the nags, I'll sind him out."

Permission was, however, given to Colonel Scott to march his regiment to Lewiston and act as circumstances might require.
"Well now, Miss Bartlett, you seem to be a very intelligent and well-educated young woman. How comes it that you are employed in such work?" "It was the best I could find," she volunteered. "No doubt. But you must be well aware that few, if any, among the girls in the bookbinding business can be your equal in education, and, may I add, in refinement.
"In fifteen minutes," said Alfred, "I had learned all about the young lady's antecedents." Having finished his soup, and resisted a childish impulse to tip the plate and scrape the bottom of it, Jimmy was now looking anxiously toward the door through which the roast ought to come. "I'll tell you all about her," volunteered Alfred.
"My wife will look after her. Now for the rest, men. There's lots of 'em, and the ship can't last much longer! Lively, men. Every minute means a life!" "I'll take her to the station!" volunteered Larry, for there was nothing he could do to help now, and he thought he could get a good story of the wreck from the first person rescued. "Go ahead!" exclaimed the life savers' captain.
