The Companions of Jehu

CHAPTER XLIX
11/13

At the end of those twenty minutes twenty corpses could be counted in the grotto of Ceyzeriat.

Thirteen were those of the gendarmes and the dragoons, nine belonged to the Companions of Jehu.

Five of the latter were still living; overwhelmed by numbers, crippled by wounds, they were taken alive.

The gendarmes and the dragoons, twenty-five in number, surrounded them.
The captain of gendarmes had his arm shattered, the colonel of dragoons was wounded in the thigh.

Roland alone, covered with blood that was not his own, had not a scratch.
