This is the service of which I spoke! This is the beginning of the blood-spilling! I have brought thee the leader of whom we spoke in Howrah City. Dost remember, cousin? I recall thy words!" "Ay, I recall them. I said then that I would follow a second Cunnigan, could such be found." "And this is he!" vowed Mahommed Gunga. "Ho! But we Rangars have a leader! A man of men!" "But this plan of his?
A conservancy cart lumbered past, creaking, the far shrill whistle of an awakening factory cut the air from Howrah, the first solitary foot smote through the dawn upon the nearest pavement. The light showed grey beyond the scanty curtains. A noise of something being moved reverberated in the hospital below, and Arnold opened his eyes.

"Surely fifteen hundred. Not a sabre less." "All horsed and armed?" "Surely, bahadur. Of what use would be a rabble? I was speaking in terms of men able to fight, as one soldier to another."

Their homes ranged from Howrah of the railway people to abandoned cantonments like Monghyr and Chunar; lost tea-gardens Shillong-way; villages where their fathers were large landholders in Oudh or the Deccan; Mission-stations a week from the nearest railway line; seaports a thousand miles south, facing the brazen Indian surf; and cinchona-plantations south of all.
"But where?" "I've got it! There's a letter in from Everton at Abu, saying he needs a man badly to go to Howrah and act resident there says he hasn't heard from the missionaries and isn't satisfied wants a man without too much authority to go there and keep an eye on things in general.
