The Power Of The Grip.

same . Then he sprang hack , took' out : a whistle and blew three blasts . All ibis was the work of a moment ; I looked around , and on my right saw Hutchinson bareheaded and bleeding from a cut in his forehead , but he had the look of grim determination on his face . Now , from above , stones and

any missle handy were showered down upon us from the top of the bank : indeed , we were surrounded . I felt the critical moment had come . Again the whistle sounded ; this time the whole of our assailants gathered round their leader , who again came over to me . Try to do what you can for Kelly , he said . I replied L would . He then motioned for us to go on . We

got ourselves together and marched off , but before doing so I released both Kelly and Shaw from the handcuffs , and allowed my prisoner to have bis hands free . I did this in recognition of bis conduct during those trying moments : as we passed our late assailants who had lined the road , this was noticed and applauded . We soon settled down after a few miles

march , and m the conversation our escape hilly discussed between us all . A few miles further on we noticed a party of soldiers approaching us , and from them a mounted officer galloped towards us . It was the adjutant : it appears that on the second day , and not till then , the color-sergeant had informed him that only two men had been sent with me as escort . The

commanding officer at once ordered out the party , who met us , and we quietly returned to barracks . I related the way we had been attacked , the way Kelly and the escort behaved , and it was attributed to the manner in which I had acted that saved us , yet in my mind I knew it was the " power of the grip . " T concluded . Did you reap any benefit , my nephew queried .

Yes , L replied . Kelly was tried by court-martial , but bis sentence was remitted . Both Shaw and Hutchinson were promoted corporals , and I was recommended , and within twelve months received my commission as ensign in your

regiment .
