He had simply and blindly gone direct to the attack, with the result that Averil had been deeply and irreconcilably offended, and Carlyon had so nearly kicked him for making such a fool of himself that Derrick had retired in disgust from the fray, had clamoured for and, with infinite difficulty, obtained a post as war-correspondent in the ensuing Frontier campaign, and had departed on his adventurous way, sulking hard.
By this time the fame of the Pencillings had reached London; and at Smyrna Willis found a letter awaiting him from the Morning Herald, which contained an offer of the post of foreign correspondent at a salary of L200 a year. But as his letters would have to be mainly political, and as he might be expected to act as war-correspondent, which was scarcely in his line, he decided to refuse the offer.
"I wonder what Jamaica rum is like as a steady drink," mused the ex- baseball reporter, who had been converted into a war-correspondent by the purchase of a white yachting-cap. "It won't be long before Keating finds out," said the Journal man. "Oh, I didn't know that," ventured the new reporter, who had just come South from Boston. "I thought he didn't drink.
A week later Captain Lange's snapshot of the war-correspondent was paraded in the New York Herald as the dramatic close of Singley's journalistic career. In his way he, too, had been a hero. He died in the hospital at Salubria. He could claim the credit of having made the war plain to those at home. Or was that not the war after all?
One of those revenges that are the more triumphant because they are unpremeditated. She had dished me as a war-correspondent. For I declare that from the moment when we found Jevons and his General in the hotel I became the victim of her miserable point of view.
The result of those conversations was that, as soon as my father had betaken himself to England, I resolved to go to the front myself, ascertain as much of the truth as I could, and become, indeed, a war-correspondent on "my own." In forming that decision I was influenced, moreover, by one of those youthful dreams which life seldom, if ever, fulfils.
Plans at headquarters A battle by inches In the observation post The débris of a ruined village "Softening" by shell fire A slice out of the front The task of the infantryman The dawn before the attack Five minutes more A wave of men twenty-five miles long Mist and shell-smoke Duty of the war-correspondent.
He killed him. Jaffery threw a couple of logs on the fire the ship-logs that Adrian loved, and the sea-salts, barium, strontium and what-not, gave green and crimson and lavender flames. "I've seen as much suffering in my time as any man living," he said. "A war-correspondent does. He sees samples of every conceivable sort of hell.
Raphael is the full-blown rose; the only Beyond is Dissolution and the straggling of faded petals. October 17. "War, that simple-looking word which lightly comes tripping from the lips of unthinking men, and even women." So writes a famous war-correspondent, a man in the midst of war and telling of war as it really is.
As our armies extended their operations, the journalists found their field of labor enlarged. St. Louis lost its importance when the Rebels were driven from Missouri. For a long time Cairo was the principal rendezvous of the journalists, but it became less noted as our armies pressed forward along the Mississippi. Every war-correspondent has his story of experiences in the field.
