Of the irregular Jungle fighting of this period Mr. Hall has many Interest ing anecdotes and personal experiences to rotate. Here is one which refers, not to the Burmese war, but to the China war of a few years later. A certain British general wishing to Impress thee Independent mountaineers with the use lessees of fighting against our superior armament, gave some Chin chief's n demonstration of volley and shell Are, There was a Chin village across tho valley that had been taken by assault a few days before, and was now aban doned. The guns were turned on this village and feed some shells. The village hit the village fair and sejuaro, but to everyone's surprise It Immedl aiely shewed sign of Ufa. Id tile black figures began to run about and escape. And the genera! laughed, she staff laughed, even the China laughed. Hero was. Indeed, a demonstration. Hut when the eeleael of a Gurkbu regiment oame In hot haste to Inquire why his work lug party there wss being fired on, the Mugitter died from all faces, collecting only oh the faees of the Ohln chiefs, who sat umtu the wound and shrieked." That Is a good oxample ef Mr. Hall's humorous and vivacious style; but all hi aaeedstes osrry a sting In their tall, and se does this; for he goes on to eayi (Mf)iS the ewBtrstieA was tlop.rjti Hot It wo not lost.
