Indeed it was doubtful at that hour if any one knew where we were, but we heard many rumours of the doings of MARCHING ON TANGA 99 others. We heard that Sheppard's Brigade had moved on at dawn : that all night they had been tried by snipers from beyond the river, that even now they were in action ; while the Baluchis, and with them the Mountain Battery, had already moved up into the hills from which the smoke signals had puffed on the day before and were turning the right flank of the enemy pos...ition at Mikocheni. We could even hear distant rifle fire. But no orders came. It was certain that we should soon be wanted, so we left our sick and wounded behind with an assistant surgeon, and pushed off in the direction of the river bend, where the fighting seemed to be. In daylight all that country which had seemed, the night before, a maddening tangle of thorn, looked extraordinarily simple : but we had slept, and breakfasted and the kindly morning sun was shining. Over the hillside we trailed until we struck a track of tall grasses swept smoothly in one direction, like the trailers of a south country winter-bourne, and we knew that we must be on the heels of the brigade.
