From the Hampshire Independent
There is nothing more interesting than
the talk of our brave defenders, who have
served their Queen and country in far•
distant lands. To talk with an Indian
officer, hearing his reminiscences and ad•
ventures, is what those who have enjoyed
it always eppreoiate. Consequently
(writes a epeoial reporter of the Hamp-
shire Independent) I was delighted to re-
oeive instructions to interview Lieutenant -
General Shaw, who has won his spurs in
India, and is now living, with his family,
in honorable retirement, at St. Paul's
Vicarage, Shanklin, Isle of Wight. I
had grasped the bell -pull and given it one
tug when the door opened, and the gen-
eral stood before me. Yon knew he was
a soldier at once. His manly, upright
bearing, his smile, his pleasant voice—all
told you that you stood in the presence of

held a time -table, and I felt that tbe in-
terview must needs be short. However,
he ushered ibe in and at once put me at
my ease by his affable conversation.
"I am afraid," he said, "that you have
Dome a long distance ; but .let me know
the precise object of your visit."
I explained to the General that I was
most anxious, with Itis 000eent, to obtain
some personal explanation es to the nar-
row escape I had heard one of bis daugh-
ters had recently experienced.
At that ho brightened visibly. "You
