Synopsis

Excerpt from Sniper Jackson

A noise of scrambling behind made him look round sharply. The man who had complained about being buried was trying to bury himself still further. He was digging frantically at the trench walls and pouring the earth over his head and shoul ders. The ludicrous aspect of the incident again struck Ron ald, and again he laughed.

The soldier lying head to head with him looked up in amaze ment. He was the platoon sergeant. His face was ghastly white, but his lips were firm set and his gaze was clear. He seemed to think the officer had gone crazy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
