October 6, 11 A.M.
I think Zemaun deserves his telescope after all for giving it to me . Shall have something to eat now , for I am half starved . Glory is an excellent thing , but you can not live upon it . October 6 , 11 A.M. -- Let me try to set down as calmly and as accurately as I can all that occurred last night . I have never been a dreamer or a visionary , so I can rely upon my own senses , though I am bound to say that if any other fellow had told me the same thing I should have doubted him . I might even have suspected that I was deceived at the time had I not heard the bell since . However , I must narrate what happened .
