A large number of our troops are down near Rangoon but, in the fighting that has taken place, we have gained no advantage. Your people marched out at the end of May, carried a stockade; and advanced to Joazoang, and attacked some villages defended by stockades and carried them, after having killed a hundred of our men.
That makes it all the surer the Professor is in front of us up this river;" and Buck threw his hand northwards, pointing to the broad flood which slipped past the quays of Rangoon to the sea. At different points of their voyage they had received cables from Mr. Buxton giving the news of the search, which was going on in vain.
You can do the same at Ramoo, if you like. "I was chatting with Colonel Shatland yesterday. He tells me that a large fleet has been collected, and that an expedition will be sent to capture Rangoon so, in that case, it is likely that Bandoola and his force will march off in that direction. "I think government are wrong.
Even in Rangoon, which has become almost Indianized, his natural humanity never left the Burman. As far as Burmans are concerned, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals need not exist. They are kinder to their animals than even the members of the Society could be. Instances occur every day; here is one of the most striking that I remember.
Not very many years ago an officer in Rangoon lost some currency notes. He had placed them upon his table overnight, and in the morning they were gone. The amount was not large.

When we got back, and had had a bath, the Boh wanted to know when he was going to be hanged. Hicksey said he couldn't oblige him on the spot, but had to send him to Rangoon. The Boh went down on his knees, and reeled off a catalogue of his crimes he ought to have been hanged seventeen times over, by his own confession and implored Hicksey to settle the business out of hand.

It began with a stately row of names: New York and Rangoon Petroleum Company; Honorable Abraham Bee, President; Peter Rolleum, Esq., Vice President; Diddle Digwell, Esq., Secretary; and so on. With cool impudence it then gave a list headed "Lands and Property" not saying "of the Company" for fear of a prosecution for swindling.
He might be willing to march with us and subscribe half his pay, like poor Captain Corby, of the Queen's army, did in Rangoon." "He might be proud to." "We must all try and bring sin home to him," Mrs. Sand remarked with rising energy; "and don't you go saying anything to him hastily. If he's gone on you " "Oh Ensign! let us hope he is thinking of higher things! Let us both pray for him.
"Well, no, I can't say that I do," replied Shafto, casting his mind over the last eighteen months. "Well, of course, sir, I'm entirely different to what ye may remember in Rangoon." "What? you don't mean to say " The late pongye nodded with emphasis.. "I'm now Sergeant-Major Ryan, in the second battalion of the old regiment."
