My first act was to examine carefully the bodies that lay round about the house, taking those that lay nearest at hand, and then passing on to the others.  The result of this examination was the discovery that the fallen numbered in all sixty-seven, fourteen of whom were still alive, but so seriously injured that they had been unable to withdraw to the safety of cover.  I inquired of each of these men what had become of their companions, but they were unable to answer me; they could but groan--"_Agua, agua, por amor de Dios_!"
