"Yes, sir; and young Pegg as well," said the wounded Sergeant, saluting, as he supported himself upon the rifle and broken bayonet he held. "But " "Ah!" cried the Major excitedly. "Don't say that " "No, sir, I hope it's not that," said the Sergeant huskily; "but they were both amongst the missing as I tried to call the roll."
There was a rumbling noise, which came from one of the elephants stabled near, and Peter Pegg shook his head slowly as if he were imitating the customary habit of a tethered elephant, and in imagination the private seemed to see one of the leg-chained beasts softly bowing its head up and down, and slowly from side to side, swinging it as if it were on springs.
