204 페이지 - ... volunteered for service till they embarked ; and such was the contagion of their enthusiasm, that several sepoys who were missing from one of the battalions in garrison at Madras were found. when the expedition returned, to have deserted to join the 22d under Colonel Oram. We state this anecdote f with a full impression of the importance of the lesson it conveys.
199 페이지 - The consequence was, as the subadar had anticipated — that the different chiefs who were placed under him vied in respect and obedience; and so well were the incessant efforts of this body directed, that scarcely a load of grain was lost: hardly a day passed that the activity and stratagem of Cawder Beg did not delude some of the enemy's plunderers to their destruction.
