Suddenly Kat gurgles and turns green and yellow. "Let us go on, he stammers. I Jump up. eager to help him. I take him up and start off at a run, a slow, steady pace, so as not to Jolt his leg too much. My throat is parched. Every thing dance red and black before my eyes. I stagger on doggedly and pitilessly and at last reach the dressing station. There I drop down on my knees, but still have enough strength to fall on to the side where Kat's sound leg is.
