"And when he looked at me over the edge of that crater, I most threw a fit. I was looking for him so hard that it scared me when I saw him. Anyhow, there he was, and it was dark pretty soon, and we brought Bogardus back."
"You carried him?" asked the General.
"Yes, sir. He is pretty thin," said Porky simply.
"What became of the German?" asked the General.
"Back there in the shell crater," said Porky, frowning.
"I wonder if he had any valuable papers on him," mused the General.
"I don't know, sir," said Porky, beginning to fish in his pockets. "I thought of that, so I just went through him and took everything he had." He commenced to lay things out on the table in little piles. The men watched him with interest.
The collection was well worth while. Several official letters, some maps, a number of orders, and some codes. There was also a packet of blank paper that Porky put carefully aside. The General leaned over and picked it up.
"Nothing here," he said, tossing it down.
Porky picked it up.
