We shall be set upon again; trow my word. These cannot lie longer among our feet. Or the Huns overcome us, we will hew many wounds; to the which I am nothing loth." "Well for me that I have such a lord," answered Hagen. "This counsel suiteth well such a knight as our young master hath approved him this day. Ye Burgundians have cause to rejoice."
At length Blodelin was bribed by Kriemhild to attack Dankwart with a thousand followers. Dankwarts men were all slain, but he himself made good his escape by fighting his way through the closely packed Hunnish ranks. Dankwart rushed to the hall where the Burgundians were feasting with the Huns, and in great wrath acquainted Hagen with the treacherous attempt which had been made upon his life.
One of their earliest kings, called Merovech, had helped the Romans in the battle of the Catalaunian fields in the year 451 when they defeated the Huns. But his descendants were weak men who left the affairs of state to their Prime minister, the "Major Domus" or Master of the Palace.
"You know damned well I can't leave with Les Errues woods crawling alive with Huns." "Will you leave the canton of Les Ernies, McKay, if I show you a safe route out?" And, as the other made no reply: "You have no right to be here on neutral territory," he added, "and my Government desires you to leave at once!" "I have as much right here as the Huns have," said McKay in his pleasant voice.
By skillful planing he managed to descend about three quarters of a mile away, in full view of the enemy. Instead of giving up the ghost and at once firing his machine, this officer jumped out and, utterly unperturbed by the German fire or by the Huns making across country to take him prisoner, commenced to inspect the engine.
Downs that night took out a patrol from the right, who explored the south-west corner of Pozières in spite of the extreme alertness of the Huns, and returned safely with the most valuable information for which the Anzacs, over whose attacking frontage the patrol had gone, were most grateful. Everyone was glad to have them on our flank, for they were splendid men, full of confidence and keenness.
The colonel studied his wall-map with intentness, and put a forefinger on the rd Brigade gun positions. A runner came in from C Battery, with whom we had had no communication for nearly two hours. The Huns seemed to know their position, and had put over a regular fusilade of 4·2's and 5·9's and gas-shells.
We became excited, too, and strained to see what was happening. There, sheer ahead of us, darting, twisting, turning, was a monoplane right over the German trench. It was a British plane, and taking inconceivably risky chances. We could see the airman on the steering seat wave to us. He seemed like a gigantic mosquito, bent on tormenting the Huns. Their bullets spurted round him.
What branch of the Goths settled in Germany? From what did the Franks derive their name? Which was the ancient, and which the modern France? What is the history of the Allemanni? In what countries did the Saxons and Angles settle? Whence did the Huns come? How far did their ravages extend? What territory did the Burgundians seize?
"Pick off those two men, boys!" Instantly rifles began to crack, and as the bullets sang about the ears of the Huns they stopped their incendiary operations and began to run. How they thought they could escape is inexplainable. They were surrounded by Americans, and were some distance away from their own lines. "Come on, fellows!" cried Jimmy to his chums. "Don't let 'em get away.
