C. Dividing rations for his men

Explanation:

"The lieutenant was frowning and serious at this task of division.

He was on the verge of a great triumph in mathematics, and the corporals were thronging forward, each to reap a little square, when suddenly the lieutenant cried out and looked quickly at a man near him as if he suspected it was a case of personal assault. The others cried out also when they saw blood upon the lieutenant’s sleeve. . . . "
