The last service that McCarty

rendered in Haiti was in 1920, when

he was twenty-two years old. In a

pitched battle with the insurgents

under the rule ofnoqu°r.er being

given or taken, he was cornered by

four outlaws, and under the rule of

kill or be killed he got all four, but

the fourth had time to discharge a

heavy rifle right at the side of the

marine’s face, so that he suffered

from the bullet, the powder wounds,

and the explosion, and he lay for,

three days unconscious. He has

never recovered from the effect of

mate of hospitals for the past six

years.

“We’ve fought ’em trooper, we’ve

fought ’em in dock, and drunk

with ’em in betweens.

scullery maids, and we called ’em

the Ass Marines;

And after 1 met him all over the

world, a doing all kinds of things.

Like landing hlsself with a Gatling

gun to talk to them heathen

kings;

Now his work begins at Gawd knows

when, and his work is never

through;

But ttiere isn’t a job on the top of the

earth the beggar don’t know or

do.”
