What was the result ? Our march, instead of resembling the return of a victorious army, resembled only a disorganized rabble retiring as rapidly as they could before a pursuing foe. Confusion was everywhere, order there was none ; and the camp was reached at last just CONVOYS. 209 before sunset in a state of disorganization. In our wake were empty boxes, parts of saddlery, exhausted camels, and in fact the ground might have conveyed to the Arabs the appearance of a general rout. " Get on, get o...n, " said our superiors ; and we did "get on, " but at what sacrifice ? Had it not been for the Grenadiers who, as I said just now, brought up the rear in line, the confusion would have been ten times worse. The Sikhs did good service as well ; but the whole thing was a disgrace to any civilized army, and reflected only renewed mis- management on the part of those responsible. I have endeavoured to give a mild impression of this return of ours to camp, but there are many who might paint it in far more glaring colours.
