Excerpt: ...and the men doubled out intent on the capture of Simmons, the wild beast, who was heading for the Cavalry parade-ground, stopping now and again to send back a shot and a curse in the direction of his pursuers. I''ll learn you to spy on me! he shouted; I''ll learn you to give me dorg''s names! Come on, the ''ole lot o'' you! Colonel John Anthony Deever, C. B.! --he turned towards the Infantry Mess and shook his rifle--you think yourself the devil of a man--but I tell you that if you put your ugly old carcass outside o'' that door, I''ll make you the poorest-lookin'' man in the army. Come out, Colonel John Anthony Deever, C. B.! Come out and see me practiss on the rainge. I''m the crack shot of the ''ole bloomin'' battalion. In proof of which statement Simmons fired at the lighted windows of the mess-house. Private Simmons, E Comp''ny, on the Cavalry p''rade-ground, Sir, with thirty rounds, said a Sergeant breathlessly to the Colonel. Shootin'' right and lef, Sir. Shot Private Losson. What''s to be done, Sir? Colonel John Anthony Deever, C. B., sallied out, only to be saluted by a spurt of dust at his feet. Pull up! said the Second in Command; I don''t want my step in that way, Colonel. He''s as dangerous as a mad dog. Shoot him like one, then, said the Colonel bitterly, if he won''t take his chance. My regiment, too! If it had been the Towheads I could have understood. Private Simmons had occupied a strong position near a well on the edge of the parade-ground, and was defying the regiment to come on. The regiment was not anxious to comply, for there is small honour in being shot by a fellow-private.

Excerpt from book: THE MAN WHO WAS The Earth gave up her dead that tide, Into our camp he came, And said his say, and went his way, And left our hearts aflame. Keep tally - on the gun-butt score The vengeance we must take, When God shall bring fall reckoning, For our dead comrade's sake. Ballad. Let it be clearly understood that the Russian is a delightful person till he tucks in his shirt. As an Oriental he is charming. It is only when he insists upon being treated as the most easterly of western peoples instead of the most westerly of easterns that he becomes a racial anomaly extremely difficult to handle. The host never knows which side of his nature is going to turn up next. Dirkovitch was a Russian - a Russian of the Russians - who appeared to get his bread by serving the Czar as an officer in a Cossack regiment, and corresponding for a Russian newspaper with a name that was never twice alike. He was a handsome young Oriental, fond of wandering throughunexplored portions of the earth, and he arrived in India from nowhere in particular. At least no living man could ascertain whether it was by way of Balkh, Badakshan, Chitral, Beluchistan, or Ne- paul, or anywhere else. The Indian Government, being in an unusually affable mood, gave orders that he was to be civilly treated and shown everything that was to be seen. So he drifted, talking bad English and worse French, from one city to another, till he foregathered with Her Majesty's White Hussars in the city of Peshawur, which stands at the mouth of that narrow swordcut in the hills that men call the Khyber Pass. He was undoubtedly an officer, and he was decorated after the manner of the Russians with little enamelled crosses, and he could talk, and (though this has nothing to do with his merits) he had been given up as a Books History~~General writings-in-prose-and-verse-of-Rudyard-Kipling~~Rudyard-Kipling General Books LLC This is an OCR edition without illustrations or index.
