As the bundle was consumed, the victim fell ill, and when it was reduced to ashes, he died.

Our Artillery had tried hard to destroy the mortar, but it apparently had a small railway to itself, and moved away as soon as we opened fire. For retaliation we had nothing except rifle grenades, which were like ...
