A giant of a fel- low with an eye like a hawk and a big black heard that seems, somehow, to suggest a blacksmith. He turned up at our mess on the first evening he was in camp. Everybody was laugh- ing and joking as usual and he never said a word. I didn’t understand it at the time, but I noticed that Nichol- son just glowered at each man who told a funny story, and, by degrees, We were all sitting like mutes at a funeral. Then he said, in a deep voice that made us jump: ‘When some of you gentlemen can spare me a mo. ment I shall be glad to hear what you have been doing here the last ten weeks.’ There was no sneer in his words. We have had fighting enough, Heaven knows, but we felt that by ‘doing’ he meant ‘attacking,’ not ‘de- fending.’ Sure as death, he will create a stir. Indeed, the leaven is working already. He sent me out here this morning, as he has gone to meet the movable column from Lahore, and there was a rumor of a sortie from Delhi to cut it off.” Continued from page 6 sume respousmmty. Malcolm fresh from association with Havelock realized that a grave and serious-minded soldier could ill brook the jests and idle talk that domi- nated the average military mess of the period. “Nicholson sounds like the right man in the right place,” he commented. The diagoon vouched for it empha- tically. “He has put an end to pony-racing and quoits,” said he, “and there is to be no more fighting in our shirt sleeves. Bear in mind, we have had a deuce of a time. I’ve been in twenty- one fights myself, and that is not all. The sepoys usually swarm out hell-for- leather and we rush to meet them. There is a scrimmage for an. hour or so, we shove ’em back, Hodson gets in a bit of sabre-work, we pick up the wounded, tell off a burial party, and start a cricket match or a gymkhana. Of course the fighting is stiff while it lasts and my regiment has lost its two best bowlers, a really sound bat and a crack rider in the pony heats. Still if we don’t lose any ground we ga'n none, and I can’t help agreeing with Nichol- son that war isn’t a picnic.” Frank managed not to smile at the naivete of his companion. Though Saumarez was nearly his own age he felt that their difference in rank was not nearly so great as the divergence in their conception of the magnitude of the task before Britain in India. Nevertheless Saumarez saw that Nich- olson was a force, and that was some- thing. “Is the Hodson you mention the man who rode from Kurnaul to Mee- rut before the affair of Ghazi-ud-din- Nugg ur?” he asked. “Yes, same chap. A regular fire- brand and no mistake. He has gath- ered a crowd of dare-devils known as Hodson‘s Horse, and they go into ac- tion with a dash that I thought was only to be found in regular cavalry. But here we are at our ghat. That is a weedy-looking Arab you are ridingâ€" plenty of bone, though. Will he go aboard a budgerow without any fuss?” Malcolm dismounted and fondled Nejdi's black muzzle. How little ill-'5' light-hearted dragoon guessed what: those two had endured together! Nejdi as a weed was a new role. For an instant Frank thought of making a match with his friend's best charger after Nejdi had had a week’s rest. “Oh. yes. He will do most things,” was the quiet reply. It was altogether a changed audience that Havelock's messenger secured that evening when Nicholson rode to the ridge with the troops sent from the north by Sir John Lawrence, Edwardes and Montgomery, while the generosity of Bartle Frere in sending from Scinde regiments he could ill spare should be mentioned in the same breath. Saumarez’s “giant of a fellow” was there, and Archdale Wilson, the com- mander-in-chief, and Neville Chamber- lain, and. Baird-Smith, and Hervey Greathed. Inspired by the presence of such men Malcolm entered upon a full account of occurrences at Luck- now, Cawnpore and elsewhere during the preceding month. His hearers were aware of Henry Lawrence’s death and the beginning of the siege of Luck- now. They had heard of Massacre Ghat, the Well, and Havelock’s ad- vance, but they were dependent on native rumor and anoccasional spy for their information, and Frank’s epica narrative was the first complete and true history that had been given them. He was seldom interrupted. Occa- sionally when he was tempted to slur over some of the dangers he had over- come personally, a question from one or other of the five would force him to be more explicit. Naturally, he. spoke freely of the magnificent exploits of Havelock’s column and he saw Nicholson tick- ing off each engagement, each tremen- dous march. each fine display of stra- tegic genius on the port of the gen- eral, with an approving nod and shake of his great beard. “You have done well, young man,” said General Wilson when Frank’s long recital came to an end. “What rank did you hold on General Havelock’s staff?” “That of major, sir.” “You are confirmed in the same rank here. I have no doubt your ser- vices will be further recognized at the close of the campaign.” “If Havelock had the second thou- sand men he asked for he would now be marching here,” growled Nichol.- SOD. No one spoke for a little while. The under meaning of the giants words was plain. Havelock had moved while they stood still. The criticism was a trifle unjust. perhaps, but men with Napoleonic ideas are impatient of the limitations that afflict their less powerful brethren. If India were gov. erned exclusively by Nicholsons, Law- rences, Havelocks, Hodsons, and Neills there would never have been a mutiny. It was B1itain’ s rare good fortune that they existed at all and came to the front when the fiery breath of war had scorched and shriveled the nonenâ€" Fullyvguaranteed. at Macfarlane’s THE DURHAM CHRONICLE ' tities who held power and place at the | any rate wny co outbreak oi hostilities. i out of it and let Then some one passed a remark on are] 'th the Frank’s appearance.

The Guides, pic- turesque in thei1 loose, gray- -colored shirts and big turbans, sent one of their cavalry squadrons over the R dge .on some errand. They moved at a gsharp canter, but the Delhi gunners had got the range and were ready, and ‘half a dozen e1gnteenuound balls iicrashed into the trees and rocks al- most in the exact line of advance. A gcouple of guns on the British right ftook up the challenge, and the duel went on long after the Guides were swallowed up in the green depths of Ithe valley. t0 Next day Malcolm, somewhat lighter I in tint after a hot hath, made himself acqua: nted with the camp. Seldom has. war brought together such a motley} assemblage of races as gathered on the Ridge during the siege of Delhi» The far-off isles of the sea were re- presented by men from every shireg and Britain's mixed heritage in the East sent a bewildering variety of types. Small, compactly built, Ghoorg kahs hobnobbed with stalwart High-l landers; lively Irishmen made friends | of guant, saturnine Pathans; bearded Sikhs extended grave courtesies to pert-nosed Cockneys; “gallant little, Wales” might be seen tending the needs of wounded Mohammedans fromI the Punjab. The language bar proved no obstacle to the men of the rank; and file. A British private would sit and smoke in solemn and friendly silence with a hook-nosed Afghan, and the two would rise cheerfully after an hour passed in that fashion with noth- ing in common between them save the memory of some deadly thrust averted when they fought one day in the hollow below Hindu Rao’s house, or a draught of water tendered when one or other lay gasping and almost done to death in a struggle for the village of Subsee Mundee. ' “How in the world did you manage to escape detection during your ride north?” he was asked. “By the Holy Kaaba,” came the gleeful cry, “I told the Moulvie of Fy- .aabad that I was in the way of earn- ing a jaghir, and behold, it is promised He explained Chumru’s device, and they laughed. Like Havelock, Baird- Smith thought the Mohammedan would make a good soldier. “With all his pluck, sir, he is abso- lutely afraid of using a pistol,” said Wank. “He was offered the highest 'ank as a native officer, but he refused “Then, by ad, we must make him a :emindar. Tell him I said so and that we all agree on that point.” When Frank gave the message to :Jhumru it was received with a demo- niac grin. The British soldier, who has fought and bled in so many lands, showed his i remarkable adaptability to circum-? stances by the way in which he made himself at home on the reverse slope , of the Ridge. A compact town had sprung up t re with its orderly lines of huts an tents, its long rows of picketed horses, commissariat bullocks and elephants, its churches, hospitals, playgrounds, race-course and ceme- tery. Malcolm took in the general scheme of things while he walked along the Ridge towards the most advanced picket at Hindu Rao’s House. On the left front lay Delhi. beautiful as a dream in the brilliant sunshine. The intervening valley was scarred and riven with water-courses. strewn with rocks, covered with ruined mosques, temples, tombs, and houses, and smoth- ered in an overgrowth of trees, shrubs and long grasses. Roads were few, but tortuous paths ran everywhere, and it was easy to see how the rebels could steal out unobserved during the night and creep close up to the pickets be- fore they revealed their whereabouts by a burst of musketry. ‘Happily they never learnt to reserve' their fire. Every man would blaze away at. the first alarm, and then, of course, in those days of muzzle-loaders. the more resolute British tr00ps could get to close quarters without serious loss. Still the men who held the Ridge had many casualties. and until Nicholson came the rebel artillery was infinitely more powerful than the British. Be- hind his movable column, however, marched a strong siege train. When that arrived the gunners could make their presence felt. Thus far not one of the enemy’s guns had been dis- mounted. At last Malcolm stood in the shelter- trench of the picket and gazed at the city which was the hub of the Mutiny. Beyond the high, red-brick walls he saw the graceful dome and minarets, 3f the Jumma Musjid, While to the left towered the frowning battlements of the King’s palace. To the left again, and nearer, was the small dome of St. James’s Church with its lead roof riddled then, as it remains to this day, with the bullets fired by the rebels in the effort to dislodge the ball and cross which surmounted it. For the rest his eyes wandered over a noble array of mosques and temples, flat-roofed houses of nobles of the court and resi- dences of the wealthy merchants who dwelt in the imperial city. The far-flung panorama behind the walls had a curiously peaceful aspect. Even the puffs of White smoke from the guns, curling upwards like tiny clouds in the lazy air, had no tremors 1nti1 a heavy shot hurtled overhead or struck a resounding blow at the al- teady ruined walls of the big house near the post. The Glst were on picket that day, and one of the men, speaking with a strong Gloucestershire accent, said to Malcolm: “Well. zur, they zay We’ll be a-loot- in’ there zoon.” “I hope so,” was the reply, but the phrase set him a-‘thipking. _ Within that shining palace most probably was a woman to whom he owed his life. In another palace, many a hundred miles away, was another woman for whom he would willingly risk that life if only he could save her from the fate that the private of the Eilst was gloating over in anticipation.
