McNeill of Colonsay, who has long and carefully observed the habits of red-deer, and he informs me that he has never seen some of the branches brought into use, but that the brow antlers, from inclining downwards, are a great protection to the forehead, and their points are likewise used in attack.
There are hundreds of privately owned flying boats now wherever there is navigable water. That was the secret of Carter's boathouse, of the light we saw in the air." "But this Aquaero who is he?" persisted McNeill. "Carter Wickham Australia Mac?" We looked at each other blankly. No one said a word. We were captured, just as effectively as if we were ironed in a dungeon.
It was well for Graham, Hunter, McNeill, and their brigades that William Connor and the Berkshires and the Subadar Goordit Singh had no idle time in which to sear their difficulties, for, before another khamsin gorged the day with cutting dust, every department of the Service, from the Commissariat to the Balloon Detachment, was filling marching orders.
He belonged to the same school with Baxter, John Newton, Bickersteth, Simeon and Bedell. In England his intimate friends were the Earl of Shaftesbury, Dr. McNeill and others of the most pronounced evangelical type.

"Give him way, men! He's a friend of mine." Marchmont's horse bounded. "Lieutenant McNeill," said the rider. "I profess that in all this dust and smoke I did not at first recognize you. I am your obedient servant. If my foe, sir, then I dub you my dearest foe! To our next meeting!" He backed the furious horse, wheeled and was gone like a bolt from a catapult toward his broken and retiring troop.
There was an exchange of chaffing about gray uniforms and blue, but more serious talk followed. "Take these papers, Billy," said Wild Bill, passing over a package. "Take 'em to General McNeill, and tell him I'm picking up too much good news to keep away from the Confederate camp."
Out of Williamsport conversation began. "When you want a purchaser for that horse, I'm your man," said the aide. "By any chance, do you want to sell?" McNeill laughed. "Not to-day, captain!" He stroked the brown shoulder. "Not to-day, Dun Dandy!" "What's his name? Dundandy?" "No," replied the lieutenant. "Just Dandy. I'm rather fond of him. I think we'll see it out together."
Lest so large an order as making the Anglo-Saxon race irresistible might turn the head of a subaltern, an antiseptic cablegram was also sent him, from London, reading: "Best friends here hope you won't go making further ass of yourself. "McNEILL."
Colonel McNeill was severely hit in his arm, and subsequently had to return to England from the effects of the wound. A combined movement was made upon the enemy, who retreated from the village before the dashing of the bluejackets.
