<s> THERE WERE TEN THOUSAND REBELS ROUND US AND THEY WERE AS KEEN AS A SET OF TERRIERS ROUND A RAT CAGE </s>
<s> ABOUT THE SECOND WEEK OF IT OUR WATER GAVE OUT AND IT WAS A QUESTION WHETHER WE COULD COMMUNICATE WITH GENERAL NEILL'S COLUMN WHICH WAS MOVING UP COUNTRY </s>
<s> IT WAS OUR ONLY CHANCE FOR WE COULD NOT HOPE TO FIGHT OUR WAY OUT WITH ALL THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN SO I VOLUNTEERED TO GO OUT AND TO WARN GENERAL NEILL OF OUR DANGER </s>
<s> MY OFFER WAS ACCEPTED AND I TALKED IT OVER WITH SERGEANT BARCLAY WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE GROUND BETTER THAN ANY OTHER MAN AND WHO DREW UP A ROUTE BY WHICH I MIGHT GET THROUGH THE REBEL LINES </s>
<s> AT TEN O'CLOCK THE SAME NIGHT I STARTED OFF UPON MY JOURNEY </s>
<s> THERE WERE A THOUSAND LIVES TO SAVE BUT IT WAS OF ONLY ONE THAT I WAS THINKING WHEN I DROPPED OVER THE WALL THAT NIGHT </s>
<s> MY WAY RAN DOWN A DRIED UP WATERCOURSE WHICH WE HOPED WOULD SCREEN ME FROM THE ENEMY'S SENTRIES BUT AS I CREPT ROUND THE CORNER OF IT I WALKED RIGHT INTO SIX OF THEM WHO WERE CROUCHING DOWN IN THE DARK WAITING FOR ME </s>
<s> IN AN INSTANT I WAS STUNNED WITH A BLOW AND BOUND HAND AND FOOT </s>
<s> BUT THE REAL BLOW WAS TO MY HEART AND NOT TO MY HEAD FOR AS I CAME TO AND LISTENED TO AS MUCH AS I COULD UNDERSTAND OF THEIR TALK I HEARD ENOUGH TO TELL ME THAT MY COMRADE THE VERY MAN WHO HAD ARRANGED THE WAY I WAS TO TAKE HAD BETRAYED ME BY MEANS OF A NATIVE SERVANT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY </s>
<s> WELL THERE'S NO NEED FOR ME TO DWELL ON THAT PART OF IT </s>
<s> YOU KNOW NOW WHAT JAMES BARCLAY WAS CAPABLE OF </s>

<s> WHAT USE WAS IT FOR ME A WRETCHED CRIPPLE TO GO BACK TO ENGLAND OR TO MAKE MYSELF KNOWN TO MY OLD COMRADES </s>
<s> EVEN MY WISH FOR REVENGE WOULD NOT MAKE ME DO THAT </s>
<s> I HAD RATHER THAT NANCY AND MY OLD PALS SHOULD THINK OF HARRY WOOD AS HAVING DIED WITH A STRAIGHT BACK THAN SEE HIM LIVING AND CRAWLING WITH A STICK LIKE A CHIMPANZEE </s>

<s> I DID SIR AND AT THE SIGHT OF ME HE LOOKED AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MAN LOOK BEFORE AND OVER HE WENT WITH HIS HEAD ON THE FENDER </s>
<s> BUT HE WAS DEAD BEFORE HE FELL </s>
<s> I READ DEATH ON HIS FACE AS PLAIN AS I CAN READ THAT TEXT OVER THE FIRE </s>
