What have been your losses ?" The sergeant raised himself on his elbow.
"We had two killed, as we came down," he said, "and two others wounded.

I believe one has fallen here, and I think most of us are wounded with knife thrusts." "Well, you have done splendidly, sergeant.

I will detach men to help to carry you and the wounded men down to the camp.

The others can accompany them.

We shall take up the work, now; but I am afraid we sha'n't have any fighting, though we may shoot down a few as they make off.
