〃We　have　to　try　it；〃　I　said。　〃She　wont　e　out　any　other　way。〃

Pianis　and　Bonellos　cars　could　only　move　straight　ahead　down　the　narrow　road。　We　roped　both　cars　together　and　pulled。　The　wheels　only　pulled　sideways　against　the　ruts。

〃Its　no　good；〃　I　shouted。　〃Stop　it。〃

Piani　and　Bonello　got　down　from　their　cars　and　came　back。　Aymo　got　down。　The　girls　were　up　the　road　about　forty　yards　sitting　on　a　stone　wall。

〃What　do　you　say；　Tenente？〃　Bonello　asked。

〃Well　dig　out　and　try　once　more　with　the　brush；〃　I　said。　I　looked　down　the　road。　It　was　my　fault。　I　had　led　them　up　here。　The　sun　was　almost　out　from　behind　the　clouds　and　the　body　of　the　sergeant　lay　beside　the　hedge。

〃Well　put　his　coat　and　cape　under；〃　I　said。　Bonello　went　to　get　them。　I　cut　brush　and　Aymo　and　Piani　dug　out　in　front　and　between　the　wheels。　I　cut　the　cape；　then　ripped　it　in　two；　and　laid　it　under　the　wheel　in　the　mud；　then　piled　brush　for　the　wheels　to　catch。　We　were　ready　to　start　and　Aymo　got　up　on　the　seat　and　started　the　car。　The　wheels　spun　and　we　pushed　and　pushed。　But　it　wasnt　any　use。

〃Its　……ed；〃　I　said。　〃Is　there　anything　you　want　in　the　car；　Barto？〃

Aymo　climbed　up　with　Bonello；　carrying　the　cheese　and　two　bottles　of　wine　and　his　cape。　Bonello；　sitting　behind　the　wheel；　was　looking　through　the　pockets　of　the　sergeants　coat。

〃Better　throw　the　coat　away；〃　I　said。　〃What　about　Bartos　virgins？〃

〃They　can　get　in　the　back；〃　Piani　said。　〃I　dont　think　we　are　going　far。〃

I　opened　the　back　door　of　the　ambulance。

〃e　on；〃　I　said。　〃Get　in。〃　The　two　girls　climbed　in　and　sat　in　the　corner。　They　seemed　to　have　taken　no　notice　of　the　shooting。　I　looked　back　up　the　road。　The　sergeant　lay　in　his　dirty　long…sleeved　underwear。　I　got　up　with　Piani　and　we　started。　We　were　going　to　try　to　cross　the　field。　When　the　road　entered　the　field　I　got　down　and　walked　ahead。　If　we　could　get　across；　there　was　a　road　on　the　other　side。　We　could　not　get　across。　It　was　too　soft　and　muddy　for　the　cars。　When　they　were　finally　and　pletely　stalled；　the　wheels　dug　in　to　the　hubs；　we　left　them　in　the　field　and　started　on　foot　for　Udine。

When　we　came　to　the　road　which　led　back　toward　the　main　highway　I　pointed　down　it　to　the　two　girls。

〃Go　down　there；〃　I　said。　〃Youll　meet　people。〃　They　looked　at　me。　I　took　out　my　pocket…book　and　gave　them　each　a　ten…lira　note。　〃Go　down　there；〃　I　said；　pointing。　〃Friends！　Family！〃

They　did　not　understand　but　they　held　the　money　tightly　and　started　down　the　road。　They　looked　back　as　though　they　were　afraid　I　might　take　the　money　back。　I　watched　them　go　down　the　road；　their　shawls　close　around　them；　looking　back　apprehensively　at　us。　The　three　drivers　were　laughing。

〃How　much　will　you　give　me　to　go　in　that　direction；　Tenente？〃　Bonello　asked。

〃Theyre　better　off　in　a　bunch　of　people　than　alone　if　they　catch　them；〃　I　said。

〃Give　me　two　hundred　lire　and　Ill　walk　straight　back　toward　Austria；〃　Bonello　said。

〃Theyd　take　it　away　from　you；〃　Piani　said。

〃Maybe　the　war　will　be　over；〃　Aymo　said。　We　were　going　up　the　road　as　fast　as　we　could。　The　sun　was　trying　to　e　through。　Beside　the　road　were　mulberry　trees。　Through　the　trees　I　could　see　our　two　big　moving…vans　of　cars　stuck　in　the　field。　Piani　looked　back　too。

〃Theyll　have　to　build　a　road　to　get　them　out；〃　he　said。

〃I　wish　to　Christ　we　had　bicycles；〃　Bonello　said。

〃Do　they　ride　bicycles　in　America？〃　Aymo　asked。

〃They　used　to。〃

〃Here　it　is　a　great　thing；〃　Aymo　said。　〃A　bicycle　is　a　splendid　thing。〃

〃I　wish　to　Christ　we　had　bicycles；〃　Bonello　said。　〃Im　no　walker。
