To make long story short, the colonel
recommended me strongly for the post
and, as the work was mostly to be
done on horseback. my leg was no
great obstacle, for I had enough knee
left to keep a good grip on the saddle.
What had to do was to ride over the
plantation, to keep an eye on the men
as they worked, and to report the
idlers. The pay was fair, had COM

weather. tried again and again to
make my Sikhs talk, but without much
success. At two in the morning the

My first thought was that these fell
lows were in league with the rebels,
and that this was the beginning of an
