You are tired I know it. You have had no supper, and will get none. It means forced marching for the rest of this night and a good part of tomorrow and more fighting, possibly on an empty stomach; it means the dust and the heat and the discomfort of the trunk road for all of us and danger of the worst kind instead of safety for we shall have farther to go to reach Jundhra.
He could either march to the relief of his detachments or call them in, but under no condition was he to sit still and do nothing. So, Colonel Carter's note addressed to O. C. Jundhra only got two-thirds of the way from Doonha.
But we conquered, and after conquest came security. The English have grown overconfident; they think that Mussulman will always war with Hindu, the one betraying the other; they will not understand that this lies deeper than jealousy they will not listen! Six months ago I rode to Jundhra and whispered to the general sahib what I thought; but he laughed back at me.
The Mutiny of '57 had blazed out of sullen mystery already, the sepoys were burning their barracks half-way on the road to Jundhra! And down below, to the shadow where the Risaldar had stood, crept a giant of a man who had no military bearing. He listened once, and sneaked into the deepest black within the doorway and crouched and waited. Hanadra reeks of history, blood-soaked and mysterious.
By my reckoning it's on our road, though, and somewhere between here and Jundhra." "So it seems to me; our road swings round to the right presently, doesn't it? That'll lead us right to it. That would make it Doonha more or less. D'you suppose it's at Doonha?" "I was thinking it might be, sir.
I am coming with my whole command as fast as possible. Your Obedient Servant, A. E. Turner Genl. Officer Commanding "Men!" said Colonel Carter, in a ringing voice that gave not the slightest indication of his feelings, "we're to wait here for a while until the whole division overtakes us. The general has vacated Jundhra. Lie down and get all the rest you can!"
