"The Sergeant says that the Major, he'd like to know what's inside that farm."
"Well then the only thing is to go and see."
"Come on then."
They went in search of the Lieutenant.
"Lieutenant, can we go out on patrol round the N—— Farm and have a look to see whether there's any Boches inside?"
"On patrol ... in a boat you mean?"
"We'd make our plans, Lieutenant."
The Lieutenant was silent a minute. That farm puzzled him too, but he was anxious about the lives of his men.
"It's too dangerous," he replied, and soon after he moved away. The two men looked at each other.
