consultation with the adjutant.
Barry, who with difficulty had restrained himself during the sergeant

They found a corporal on guard outside.
"I would not open the door, sir. He is really dangerous."
"Oh, rot!" replied the M. O. "Open up the door!"
"Excuse me, sir," said the corporal, "it is not safe. At present, he is
clean crazy. He is off his nut entirely."
The M. O. stood listening at the door. From within came moaning sounds
as from a suffering beast.
"That man is suffering. Open the door!" ordered the M. O. peremptorily.
The corporal, with great reluctance, unlocked the padlock, shot back the
bolt, and then stood away from the door.
"It is the medical officer, McCuaig," said the doctor, opening the door
slightly.
Bang! Crash! came the scantling upon the door jamb, shattering it to
pieces.
