Harry joined the army and became a member of battery. It's wintertime. The trees were bare because of the cold. The war ended nearby a bay. The battery bought a barrel of beer to celebrate their victory. The salesman refused to bargain over the price, but he gave them some coffee beans free. After lunch, the game began with a baseball match on basis of friendship. A batch of soldiers joined this. Beginners would feel it difficult to play. But Harry did it well. In fact, he wanted to play tennis with his new tennis bat. At that night, the strong wind unroofed the barn and a dog barked. So the battery found a captive was gone. The captive had a beard and it was said that he was a beast. No one expected this beforehand. Harry rode on a horse to pursue him. The horse ran over the barrier easily. He stopped in front of the basement of a building. He took out a torch but it was useless, for the battery had run down. Harry went down. The bats flew everywhere. Finally he tried his best to catch the captive. He said to him, "On behalf of my battery, I arrest you!"
