Onwards, like the simoom, they came, burning and slaying, and were at the walls of Jerusalem before the inhabitants had time to look round them.

On them the Hyson opened fire, puffing and steaming after them, and battering them with shells and bullets. Like an angry little sheep-dog driving a mob of sheep, it drove the rebels onwards.
