"Yes; we have heard nothing except a few distant shouts and noises out at the lines.

Round here there has been nothing moving, except that we heard someone go out into the garden just now." "I went out with Bathurst," the Doctor said.

"He has gone in the disguise of a native to the Sepoy lines, to find out what are their intentions." "I heard the talk over it, Doctor.

I only came up on watch a few minutes since.

I thought it was most likely him when I heard the steps." "I hope he is beyond the sentries," the Doctor said.
