:55:00
Oh, darling, this is going to hurt.
:55:04
Somebody told me to lay down
and then I saw them
:55:10
all smeared with paint,
yellow and red,
:55:16
every colour.
:55:20
Oh, darling. I'm sorry.
:55:21
And back of them, Tories
with green coats.
:55:25
I got down behind a log
and aimed at a fellow.
:55:29
He leaped straight up in the air.
:55:31
Don't talk about it.
:55:32
Fell forward on his face.
:55:35
After that, we just kept shooting
as fast as we could load
:55:41
for I don't know how long.
:55:46
Amos, Adam Hartman came over
beside me.
:55:52
His musket was broke,
:55:58
but he had a spear.
He kept grinning.
:56:03
I remember thinking,
:56:06
he's having a good time,
he likes this.
:56:12
Soon he pointed off. I saw
an Indian coming towards us, naked.
:56:19
I tried to load,
but it was too late.
:56:22
Adam stood up and braced his spear,
and the Indian came down.
:56:29
I never saw a fellow look so funny,
so surprised.
:56:35
He just hung there,
with his mouth open.
:56:40
Looking at us
and not saying a word.
:56:46
I had to shoot him,
there wasn't anything else to do.
:56:50
I had to.
:56:55
Brandy, Nicholas?
:56:57
Ja, ja.
