The Chaplain

At the Calum! Laramie, starring Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince,

specially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground of the wild frontier, the saga of fighting men who rode the Rim of Empire, and the dramatic story of Lee Quince, Captain of Cavalry. Captain?

Ah, Sergeant. These men are ancient surgeons called. Aptkin, Chapman, Furnace, Harrison, Holt, Hooked, Horner, Madison, Miller, Shaw, Wright. I hold it, Sergeant. That's reading like a roll call a B company. It's close to that, sir.

How many total? Twenty-six. Yesterday it was eighteen. That's right, sir. This keeps up. We won't have a man answering fatigue call or guard mountain another couple of days. What's the matter with B company, Sergeant?

I don't know, sir. You asked the men. I figure that's a job for the post-surgeon. Yeah, I'll be interested in the hospital reports. All right, that's all, Sergeant. Yes, sir. Sergeant Garz. Yes, sir? Is your name on that list by any chance?

No, sir. Are you, Alin? No, sir. You sure? Yes, sir, I'm sure. All right, Sergeant. That's all. Yes, sir. F company, 14 men on Surgeons Call, D company 19, B company 26.

At this rate, we can hold a Maramornans drill on the hospital grounds. Well, he's got most of the garrison over there, all right. B company seems to be suffering the most, Captain. Any explanations? Not till I see the Surgeons report.

I went over to the hospital right after fatigue call. Major trucks was too busy to talk. He said in a couple hours he'd know something. 59 men. It's beginning to look like an epidemic. Hmm, maybe.

You have some reservation about it? Well, depends on what you call an epidemic. An epidemic of real sickness anyway. Real sickness? I'm saying maybe they're just bored. And I'm saying if they are, it's a hard sickness to cure.
