He put out his hand and waved it. Every minute or so the boat dipped beneath the water, but when she lifted again he repeated his efforts to attract atten- tion of anyone who might be watch- ing the wreck from shore. This went on for three hours. “l was dazed and practically gasping for breath,” Riches con- tinued. “I then heard tapping out- side the hull of the boat. Then some one spoke through the port hole. The voice said: ‘Where shall I cut open the hull’ T indicated this, showing him how to keep clear of the stanchions. It seemed hours be- fore T knew anything else.

The dozen men galloped wildly acroes the fields toward the bridge. There they met the advance guard of their own infantry, and, encouraged by this, they dashed at the Russians who evidently believed large masses of Austrian cavalry were coming af~ ter them.
