I saw him kneel down and shake P^ul by the leg, and then heard him whispering to him hurriedly and excitedly. Then I heard Paul say to Charley, ' Tell our master the news ; wake him up.' I at once said, ' What is it, Charley ? I am awake.' ' The man saj^, sir, that all the women have left the village, and he thinks that something is wrong,' he answered. I thought so too, and hastily pulled on my shoes, and then put on my coat and cartridge-belt, in which, however, there were only four cartridge...s. As I did so, I gave orders to my boys to ex- tinguish all the fires, which they instantly did by throwing sand on the embers, so that an intense darkness at once hid everything within our scherm. " Paul and Charley were now sitting on their blankets with their rifles in their hands, and I went and held a whispered convers^^tion with them, proposing to Paul that he and I should creep roimd the village and reconnoitre, and listen if possible to what the inhabitants were talking about. ' Wait a second,' I said, ' whilst I get out a few more cartridges,' and I was just leaning across my blankets to get at the bag containing them when three guns went off almost in my face, and several more at different points roimd the scherm.
