“In view of the evident unrest among the hill tribes, the Officer Commanding the 90th Sikhs will detail an officer and sixty men to proceed by march-route to Mangoon. They will take with them preserved rations sufficient to last 20 days, and 200 rounds of ammunition a man.”

Why don’t they put, ‘Will proceed to Mangoon for the purpose of affording the hillsmen target practice’?”

“Is it really so bad, father?” asked Gladys, looking up from her work.
