Defoe was said to be the author of "Legion's Memorial" to the House of Commons, sternly warning the representatives of the freeholders that they had exceeded their powers in imprisoning the men who had prayed them to "turn their loyal addresses into Bills of Supply."
The crash of six machine-guns clattered into a chattering tumult, muzzles pointed high over the heads of the Jannati Shahr men. Up into the still, hot air jetted vicious spurts of flame. The Legion's answer lasted but a minute. As the trays of blanks became empty, the tumult ceased. Silence fell, strangely heavy after all that uproar.
Their project no doubt was, that so soon as any of us was speared by the warriors, the inoffensive spies in the camp were to tomahawk us at their leisure, as we rolled about in agony from our wounds; but, taken by surprise, their otherwise exceedingly well-organised attack, owing to a slight change in our supper-hour, was a little too late, and our fire caused a great commotion and wavering in their legion's ordered line.
The guard, hearing shouts, rushed in and stoically bore away a limp, bloodstained bundle to the hospital. Nobody blamed the men. Nobody pitied the bundle except Max, whose first experience it was of the Legion's swift justice.
But have care not to be led into committing sin, as with these birds for remember, thou hast shed blood and life hath not returned again, and El Barr is sacred from the shedding of blood!" His tone was well calculated to make the lesson sink well to the Olema's heart a valuable lesson for the Legion's welfare. But the Olema only replied: "The blood of believers is meant.

But now he took his course again, as he had intended to do from the Legion's fire; and presently rifle work from the Arabs, too, verified, his direction. The Master smiled. Leclair fingered the butt of his revolver. Rrisa whispered curses: "Ah, dog-sons, may you suffer the extreme cold of El Zamharir!
But after all, of what use to him could be his acquaintance with the Legion's colonel? There was a gulf between them now. And would it not be as well or better to forget that little episode of friendship with the colonel's daughter? She had probably forgotten it by this time. And a Legionnaire has no business with women, even as friends. Besides, Max was in a mood to doubt all friendship.
It was translated for him into French by his interpreter, the dark-faced man who covered his mouth even more closely than did the dwellers in the black tents near Touggourt; for Max, though he had studied Arabic of nights in the Legion's library, and taken lessons from Garcia, could not yet understand the desert dialects when spoken quickly.
Commodus sent a messenger post-haste that night to recall the cohort." "And a good thing too," Pertinax remarked. "It isn't a legion's business to supply cohorts to do the work of the district police. There were five thousand raw men on the verge of mutiny in Ostia "
