By pressure upon the vakeel they again yielded, but on condition that I would take one of the mutineers named "Bellaal," who wished to join them, but whose offer I had refused, as he had been a notorious ringleader in every mutiny.
What with disbanded soldiers, and what with parties of mutineers, it is most dangerous for any European to stir outside the station." "Uncle was saying the same," Isobel said quietly.
