WEARIED BY SLAUGHTER

“But even 300, though brave, could do nothing against So armed men. I could see the living trying to save themselves by crawling under little heaps of dead. Others rushed towards the line of infantry surrounding them as if to break through to safety, but the foot soldiers, intoxicated by the sight of the deliberate bloodshed going on before their eyes, ran to meet them with bayonets and thrust them through and through with savage cries. ‘We are doing this in charity,’ shouted some of the Bulgarians ; ‘we have no bread to feed you, so if we spared you it would be to die with hunger.’ The massacre went on for half an hour. At the end of that time there was little left to kill, and the troopers were tired of cutting and thrusting. A few of them dismounted and, sword in hand, walked here and there among the bleeding groups, pricking them to see it any still lived. Some, though badly wounded, were still alive, but the Bulgarian captain did not give time for all to be finished ott, and at his orders the whole pile of mangled prisioners, whether breathing or dead, were pushed by the infantry into the grave which had been dug earlier in the afternoon, and the earth was shovelled at once on top of them.”
