In accordance with my customary good fortune all the enemy's guns opened fire at once.

But only the howitzer, the automatic, and the Bluebank were actually aimed our way.

The Bluebank was most effective.
It was amusing to see the men of the 60th when a shell pitched among them to-day.

How they regarded it as a busy man regards the intrusion of the housemaid--just a harmless necessary nuisance, and no more.

The cattle took the little automatic shells in much the same spirit, but with an addition of wonder--staring at them and snuffing with bovine astonishment.
