He saw the potential salients in occurrences and easily separated them from the commonplace and the commonplace itself when it was informed by a spirit that made it helpful did not mislead him by its plainness. That is another war-correspondent quality. He saw when adherence to duty approached the heroic.
Our war-correspondent, Singley, mortally wounded by a Japanese shell. Hail Columbia! Then he closed his book and put it in his breast pocket. Five minutes later two ambulance men carried him off to have his wounds attended to, and in the evening he was conveyed to the hospital.
I murmured, for we were at the tent door. "The war-correspondent," whispered Gholson; "don't you know?" But the flap of the tent lifted and I could not reply. Major Harper was the most capable officer on the brigade staff. I had never met a man of such force and dignity who was so modestly affable. His new clerk dined with him that first day, at noon in his tent, alone.
That Major Harper would tell me part of a matter to conceal the rest of it did not enter my dreams, good as I was at dreaming. The flattery went to my brain, and presently, without the faintest preamble, I asked if there was any war-correspondent at headquarters just now.
"No wonder," said Lance, "with such contributors as the Harewoods, and such a war-correspondent as Aubrey May." Just then the door began to open, and a black silk personage disconsolately exclaimed "Master Clement! Master Clem! Wherever is the boy gone, when he ought to be in his bed?" "Ha, Sibby!" cried Lance, catching both hands, and kissing the cheery, withered-apple cheeks of the old nurse.
Meanwhile, Fouche, see that the Bourbons have a conspiracy to be unearthed in time for the Sunday newspapers every week during my absence. I think it would be well, too, to keep a war-correspondent at work in your office night and day, writing despatches about my progress.
As for me," he said, pulling off his uniform, "I am thoroughly disgusted and disappointed. It never occurred to me until it was all over that this was my chance to be a war-correspondent. It wouldn't have been much of a war, but then I would have been the only one on the spot, and that counts for a great deal. Still, my time may come."
Another war-correspondent at Versailles was the present Earl of Dunraven, then not quite thirty years of age, and known by the courtesy title of Lord Adare. He had previously acted as the Daily Telegraph's representative with Napier's expedition against Theodore of Abyssinia, and was now staying at Versailles, on behalf, I think, of the same journal.
And you needn't look so disturbed; she only praised you." Still I frowned. "How does it come that she's here, anyhow?" "Why! she's got to be everywhere! She's a war-correspondent! She was at the front yesterday nearly the whole time, near enough to see some of the fighting, and to hear it all! she calls it 'only a skirmish'!" "When did she get here?" "About five in the morning.
As these runners were giving considerable trouble, it was decided to execute one and send the other two to spread the news among their friends black and white. The grave was already dug, when General Joubert, always against harsh measures, decided to spare the Kafir's life. The contrast between the bearing of this savage and that of the war-correspondent was most striking.
