followed them up with yells of exulta

hoewlirng like a pack 'of demons•. With
their black, contorted, m'o'cking faces
their .fierce gestures; and their flut-
tering garments,' they , would have
made a study for any pa'inter who
wished to portray Milton's comceptioa
of the a'mg of the damned. Prone
every side they pressed in until see-
ing, as they thought, nothing between
them and victory, they left the shelter
of the rocks and came rushing down
a furious, eolwlliatg throng, ,with the
,green banner of the Prophet in their
van. Now was our chance, and glori-
ously we utilized it. ,From every cran-
ny and+slit o•f the wagons came a blaze
of fire, every shot of which' told
among the close -packed mob, Two or
three score Tolled over like rabbits
and the rest reeled for a moment, and
+then, with their chiefs at their head,
came on again in a magnificent rush.
:It was useless, however, for undiscip-
lined men to attempt to 'face such a
weildirected :fire. The ;leaders • were
bowled over, and the others, after
hesitating for a 'few moments, turn-
ed. and made for the rocks. It was our
turn now to assume the offensive. The
guns were unlimbered and grape pour-
ed into them, while our little infantry
force advanced at the double, s'hoot'ing
and, stabibing all .whom they overtook.
Never have I known the tide of bee-
tle to turn so rapidly ,and so decisive-
ly. The sullen retreat became a flight,
and the flight a panices'triecken rout,.
u•ati'l there was northing left of • the
tribesmen except a scattered demoral-
ized rabble flying wildly to, their nat-
ive fastness for shelter and protection.
I was by no means inclined to let
them off cheaply now that I had them
in my power. On the contrary, I de-
tenmlined to teach them such a lesson

we can only manage it, it will be as

into my betels! I would give them as
short a shift as ever a Highland cat-

continued alarms may mean nothing
or they may be an indication that the
hillmen are assembling and have some
plan in view.

front for some time, but to -day a con-
voy of wounded came through with
