〃I　believe　the　bastards　have　eaten　already；〃　Piani　said。　The　sergeants　looked　at　him。　They　hated　the　lot　of　us。

〃You　know　the　road？〃　one　of　them　asked　me。

〃No；〃　I　said。　They　looked　at　each　other。

〃We　would　do　best　to　start；〃　the　first　one　said。

〃We　are　starting；〃　I　said。　I　drank　another　cup　of　the　red　wine。　It　tasted　very　good　after　the　cheese　and　apple。

〃Bring　the　cheese；〃　I　said　and　went　out。　Bonello　came　out　carrying　the　great　jug　of　wine。

〃Thats　too　big；〃　I　said。　He　looked　at　it　regretfully。

〃I　guess　it　is；〃　he　said。　〃Give　me　the　canteens　to　fill。〃　He　filled　the　canteens　and　some　of　the　wine　ran　out　on　the　stone　paving　of　the　courtyard。　Then　he　picked　up　the　wine　jug　and　put　it　just　inside　the　door。

〃The　Austrians　can　find　it　without　breaking　the　door　down；〃　he　said。

〃Well　roll。〃　I　said。　〃Piani　and　I　will　go　ahead。〃　The　two　engineers　were　already　on　the　seat　beside　Bonello。　The　girls　were　eating　cheese　and　apples。　Aymo　was　smoking。　We　started　off　down　the　narrow　road。　I　looked　back　at　the　two　cars　ing　and　the　farmhouse。　It　was　a　fine；　low；　solid　stone　house　and　the　ironwork　of　the　well　was　very　good。　Ahead　of　us　the　road　was　narrow　and　muddy　and　there　was　a　high　hedge　on　either　side。　Behind；　the　cars　were　following　closely。

At　noon　we　were　stuck　in　a　muddy　road　about；　as　nearly　as　we　could　figure；　ten　kilometres　from　Udine。　The　rain　had　stopped　during　the　forenoon　and　three　times　we　had　heard　planes　ing；　seen　them　pass　overhead；　watched　them　go　far　to　the　left　and　heard　them　bombing　on　the　main　highroad。　We　had　worked　through　a　network　of　secondary　roads　and　had　taken　many　roads　that　were　blind；　but　had　always；　by　backing　up　and　finding　another　road；　gotten　closer　to　Udine。　Now；　Aymos　car；　in　backing　so　that　we　might　get　out　of　a　blind　road；　had　gotten　into　the　soft　earth　at　the　side　and　the　wheels；　spinning；　had　dug　deeper　and　deeper　until　the　car　rested　on　its　differential。　The　thing　to　do　now　was　to　dig　out　in　front　of　the　wheels；　put　in　brush　so　that　the　chains　could　grip；　and　then　push　until　the　car　was　on　the　road。　We　were　all　down　on　the　road　around　the　car。　The　two　sergeants　looked　at　the　car　and　examined　the　wheels。　Then　they　started　off　down　the　road　without　a　word。　I　went　after　them。

〃e　on；〃　I　said。　〃Cut　some　brush。〃

〃We　have　to　go；〃　one　said。

〃Get　busy；〃　I　said；　〃and　cut　brush。〃

〃We　have　to　go；〃　one　said。　The　other　said　nothing。　They　were　in　a　hurry　to　start。　They　would　not　look　at　me。

〃I　order　you　to　e　back　to　the　car　and　cut　brush；〃　I　said。　The　one　sergeant　turned。　〃We　have　to　go　on。　In　a　little　while　you　will　be　cut　off。　You　cant　order　us。　Youre　not　our　officer。〃

〃I　order　you　to　cut　brush；〃　I　said。　They　turned　and　started　down　the　road。

〃Halt；〃　I　said。　They　kept　on　down　the　muddy　road；　the　hedge　on　either　side。　〃I　order　you　to　halt；〃　I　called。　They　went　a　little　faster。　I　opened　up　my　holster；　took　the　pistol；　aimed　at　the　one　who　had　talked　the　most；　and　fired。　I　missed　and　they　both　started　to　run。　I　shot　three　times　and　dropped　one。　The　other　went　through　the　hedge　and　was　out　of　sight。　I　fired　at　him　through　the　hedge　as　he　ran　across　the　field。　The　pistol　clicked　empty　and　I　put　in　another　clip。　I　saw　it　was　too　far　to　shoot　at　the　second　sergeant。　He　was　far　across　the　field；　running；　his　head　held　low。　I　menced　to　reload　the　empty　clip。　Bonello　came　up。

〃Let　me　go　finish　him；〃　he　said。　I　handed　him　the　pistol　and　he　walked　down　to　where　the　sergeant　of　engineers　lay　face　down　across　the　road。　Bonello　leaned　over；　put　the　pistol　against　the　mans　head　and　pulled　the　trigger。　The　pistol　did　not　fire。

〃You　have　to　cock　it；〃　I　said。　He　cocked　it　and　fired　twice。　He　took　hold　of　the　sergeants　legs　and　pulled　him　to　the　side　of　the　road　so　he　lay　beside　the　hedge。　He　came　back　and　handed　me　the　pistol。

〃The　son　of　a　bitch；〃　he　said。　He　looked　toward　the　sergeant。　〃You　see　me　shoot　him；　Tenente？〃

〃Weve　got　to　get　the　brush　quickly；〃　I　said。　〃Did　I　hit　the　other　one　at　all？〃

〃I　dont　think　so；〃　Aymo　said。　〃He　was　too　far　away　to　hit　with　a　pistol。〃

〃The　dirty　scum；〃　Piani　said。　We　were　all　cutting　twigs　and　branches。　Everything　had　been　taken　out　of　the　car。　Bonello　was　digging　out　in　front　of　the　wheels。　When　we　were　ready　Aymo　started　the　car　and　put　it　into　gear。　The　wheels　spun　round　throwing　brush　and　mud。　Bonello　and　I　pushed　until　we　could　feel　our　joints　crack。　The　car　would　not　move。

〃Rock　her　back　and　forth；　Barto；〃　I　said。

He　drove　the　engine　in　reverse；　then　forward。　The　wheels　only　dug　in　deeper。　Then　the　car　was　resting　on　the　differential　again；　and　the　wheels　spun　freely　in　the　holes　they　had　dug。　I　straightened　up。

〃Well　try　her　with　a　rope；〃　I　said。

〃I　dont　think　its　any　use；　Tenente。　You　cant　get　a　straight　pull。〃
