His men narrate of him this that upon one occasion, when engaging in a battle, he directed one of his troopers to perform a hazardous mission in the face of the enemy. The man did not move. Morgan asked, in short quick words, "Do you understand my orders?" "Yes, captain, but I can not obey." "Then, good-by," said Morgan, and in a moment the cavalryman fell dead from his saddle.
She drove her pole into the clay as the punt's bow grated; a Federal cavalryman a mere lad muddy to the knees, brier-torn, and ghastly pale, waded out through the shallows, revolver in hand, clambered aboard, and struck the torch into the water. "Take me over," he gasped. "Hurry, for God's sake! I tell you " "Was it you who called?" "Yes. Snuyder sent you, didn't he? Don't stand there talking "
I shall be ridiculous, and that's worse." Here she swept by the riding party, but as Versatilia and the beauty turned to look at her, and forgot to control their horses, the cavalryman and the Texan had to do it for them, and could do nothing for Esmeralda except to shout "Whoa," which Ronald very properly disregarded.
"'And may it be soon, Monsieur le Poseur, says I, answering his salute. "And it's proved sooner than either of us expected. There's he: here'm I. One side this wall the first light cavalryman in Europe, 'tother Harry Joy, ex-Captain of British infantry. Now we've got to see which is the better man." He squared his shoulders.
Some Rebel heads were fearfully gashed and mangled, one of them exhibiting his lower jaw-bone not only dislocated, but almost entirely severed with one determined blow from the strong hand of a cavalryman.
To lessen the chances of being shot, he bent low over his faithful mare's neck. "On, Bonnie, on!" he cried softly, and the beautiful animal seemed to understand that it was a race for life and death. "Crack!" It was the report of a pistol close at hand. Looking among the trees, Pawnee Brown saw an arm wearing the colors of a cavalryman disappearing among the foliage of a nearby tree.
It led straight beneath the leafless branches, and was beaten smooth and firm, while Winston, who had noticed already that whenever he strayed any distance from the hotel there was a mounted cavalryman somewhere in the vicinity, shook the reins.
As I came to a pause and glanced back, wondering if there could be anything wrong with my parole, he swung his cap and pointed. "That officer coming yonder wants to speak with you." Across the open field at my right, hidden until then by a slight rise of ground, a mounted cavalryman was riding rapidly toward me, the wind blowing back his cape so as to make conspicuous its bright yellow lining.
As for horses, I may say that I do not wonder that the great unwieldy horses for which the British cavalrymen have such a predilection cannot be compared to the Basuto ponies with which we went to work. The African pony has, in fact proved itself to be the only useful horse during the campaign. The British cavalryman might have used elephants with almost as much advantage as their colossal horses.
Silence was maintained for several minutes, when the youth again became uneasy. "I can hit the first one of those Lancers," he begged, as he pointed with his carbine to a cavalryman known to the Boers as a "Lancer," whether he carried a lance or not.
