Adventures in Araby--what is now Palestine and Israel and Jordan and Saudi Arabia and Iraq--with Jimgrim--Major James Schuyler Grim--and assorted adventurers. You wouldn't find a tougher, less easily stampeded gang in Asia Minor than the party Grim had left with me. They spat on their cartridges and crammed them in like veteran soldiers instead of the thieves they were by trade, and each bullet was loosed on its way with an appropriate curse, until Narayan Singh on the far right laughed so that he could hardly shoot straight. And the camels went down one by one like great ships sinking, pitching up their sterns as they plunged bow first.

If he should shoot Gooja Singh the troopers would ascribe it to nothing else than fear. A British officer might do it and they would say, ""Behold how he scorns to shirk responsibility!"" Yet of Ranjoor Singh they would have said, ""He fears us, and behold the butchery begins! Who shall be next?"" Nevertheless, had I stood in his shoes, I would have shot and buried Gooja Singh to forestall trouble. I would have shot Gooja Singh and the Turk and Tugendheim all three with one volley.
