But several days' more terrible marching, with insufficient water, and many a death from sheer hardships, fatigue, or sunstroke, were to elapse before they neared the fortress. At last, however, the time came when, on starting at dawn, the guide assured the General that he should see the sun set behind its walls. After four hours' march one of the senior officers called Harry.
Having formed by bitter experience a sensible theory to wit, that sunstroke is unpleasant and can be avoided by the use of an umbrella he is not above putting it into practice. Let others think and do as they please! For the rest, his general appearance was quite in keeping. How delightful he must have looked! Why have we no such types nowadays?
Grandma looked at her from under the apron she had flung over her head. "Run and stretch out under the cottonwood awhile," she said. "No use for to get sunstroke." Rose-Ellen went silently, thankfully. It was cooler in the shade of the tree. She looked up through the fluttering green leaves at the floating clouds shining in the sun.
"Young Revercomb is going to speak at an open air meeting of some kind political, I imagine and Molly is going to hear him." His answer was a low whistle. "At what time?" he asked presently. "She ordered her horse at three the very hottest part of the day." "Well, she'll probably have sunstroke," Gay replied, "but at any rate, I'll not let her have it alone."
"Thank you, thank you. Oh! what I have seen to-day!" he said, suddenly recalling the second of the dead convicts. "Two prisoners have been done to death." "Done to death? How?" "Yes, done to death. They led them in this heat, and two died of sunstroke." "Impossible! What, to-day? just now?" "Yes, just now. I have seen their bodies." "But why done to death? Who killed them?" asked Nathalie.
I want you to understand, if you can, that it was not your friend John Ross-Ellison who did that awful deed. It was a Pathan named Ilderim Dost Mahommed. "The strain of the war has been too much for him. He must have had sunstroke too." "And it is I who will pay the penalty of Ilderim Dost Mahommed's deed.
Being jerked violently from uneasy slumber and broken, vivid dreams at 5 a.m., by the thunderous banging of the Troop Sergeant's whip on the table, and his raucous roar of "Tumble out, you lazy swine, before you get sunstroke! Rise and shine! Memories ...! His first experience of "mucking out" stables at five-thirty on a chilly morning doing horrible work, horribly clad, feeling horribly sick.
The other morning I took it up, and was absorbed in the telegraphic columns for an hour nearly. I thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of immediate contact with all the world of yesterday, until I read among the minor items that Patrick Donahue, of the city of New York, died of a sunstroke.
After a brief period of summer freedom, the various Crioceres seek their winter quarters and go to earth under the dead leaves. The Lily-beetle dresses herself: with her ordure she makes herself a cosy gown, an infamous garment, it is true, but an excellent protection against parasites and sunstroke. The weaver of fæcal cloth has hardly any imitators.
There are just twelve hours in a day, it's true but then there are twelve more hours in the night. Fever? Well, yes. And sunstroke yes, both men and beasts went down with that. Maps got washed out by the rain. I lost my best assistant by snakebite. But such things didn't count as hindrances, they couldn't be allowed to delay the work. If I lost a man, it simply meant so much more work for me.
