Parbleu! they meet with them in every café, in every 'billiard' you enter; but a sergeant, Maurice, one that drills his men on parade can dress them like a wall see that every kit is well packed, and every cartouch well filled who knows every soul in his company as he knows the buckles of his own sword-belt that's what one should not chance upon, in haste.
"Here's for another trial," shouted Collins, as he made his plunge in the same direction. In a few seconds he too, reappeared, bearing in his right hand, not a firelock, but the two missing cartouch boxes. "Better luck next time," remarked corporal Nixon. "I think my lads, if two of you were to separate the weeds with your hands, so as to clear each musket, the other might easily bring it up."
"Now, the most ancient of Egyptian inscriptions read vertically in columns; there are only two columns in this papyrus, so we'll try it vertically and pass downward to the next symbol, which is inclosed in a sort of frame or cartouch.

"Let me help you, my man!" said the major, unbuckling his belt. "Please don't take my canteen, for it contains my water."
Ammunition was being distributed to the infantry, boxes of cartridges were brought to us and opened while we were standing this shelling. Capt. Broady superintended the distribution. Every man filled his cartouch, and then Broady made us take from forty to sixty rounds in the haversacks.

Those who do not belong to this corps, have only a white staff for all their armour. The horsemen are dressed in the same manner. They wear half-boots on their feet, and great spurs of nine or ten inches long, which resemble so many spikes of iron.
"Damn the awkward brute!" exclaimed the former, angrily. "How many muskets are there overboard, Jackson?" "Only three and two cartouch boxes." "ONLY three indeed!
