Colonel Sandbach, under whose supervision the Intelligence Department has attained a new and a refreshing standard of efficiency, made comprehensive and, as was afterwards proved, accurate reports of the enemy's strength and spirit, and strongly recommended the attack on the left flank. Two hours before dawn the army was on the move.
The half-crown rolled round in a circle and lay down within a yard and a half of the shabby man. The shabby man calmly glanced at the half-crown and then at Mr Gale, who, strolling on, magnificently pretended to be unaware of his loss; and then the shabby man resumed his dreamy stare into the distance. "Hi!" cried Mr Sandbach after Mr Gale. "You've dropped something."
The falling of the Tugela increased the danger of our position, and I was delighted when I woke up the next morning, the second of our adventurous occupation, to find Colonel Sandbach, to whom I had confided my doubts, outside my tent, saying 'I suppose you'll be happy now.
"Excuse me," said she, in a charming voice, but with a severe air. "But may I ask if you have just picked up that coin?" Mr Sandbach, after looking vaguely, as if for inspiration, at Mr Gale, was obliged to admit that he had. "Well," said the young lady, "if it's dated 1898, and if there's an 'A' scratched on it, it's mine. I've lost it off my watch-chain."
The names of the streets are expressive: some are called after the towns to which their direction points such as Liverpool, Chester, Sandbach, &c.; others from the works to which they lead such as Forge-street; and others from well-known but very modern names such as Prince Albert-street.
"They say it's thirteen minutes late." "Look here," said Mr Sandbach, taking no notice of this remark, "you see that man there?" "Which one by the bookstall?" "Yes." "Well, what about him?" "I bet you you can't make him move from where he is no physical force, of course." Mr Gale hesitated an instant, and then his eye glistened with response to the challenge, and he replied: "I bet you I can."
It took the stone-flags of the platform with scarcely a sound, and Mr Sandbach and Mr Gale made a simultaneous, superb and undignified rush for it. Mr Sandbach got it. The very shabby man passed on, passed eternally out of the lives of the other two. It may be said that he was of too oblivious and dreamy a nature for this world.
When Mr Sandbach discovered at a Christmas party that you cannot stand with your left side close against a wall and then lift your right leg, his first impulse was to confront Mr Gale with the trick.
One was found for me below the cataract by Colonel Sandbach, Royal Engineers.... On the 26th, finding that I could make a practicable approach, I crossed the guns and baggage back to the south side of the Tugela, took up the pontoon bridge on the night of the 26th, and relaid it at the new site.... On the 27th General Barton, with two battalions 6th Brigade and the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, crept about one and a half miles down the banks of the river, and, ascending an almost precipitous cliff of about 500 feet, assaulted and carried the top of Pieter's Hill.
Thereupon Sir Herbert Kitchener ordered Maxwell to change front to the right and storm Surgham Hill. He sent Major Sandbach to tell Lewis to conform and come into line on Maxwell's right.
