It is fortunate we brought all the spare ammunition in here." "Yes, they only had ten rounds of ball cartridge, and that must be nearly used up by this time.

They will have to make up their cartridges in future, and cast their bullets, unless they can get a supply from some of the other mutineers." "Well, you will send for us in four hours, Major ?" "You need not be afraid of my forgetting." Dawn was just breaking when the relief were called up; the firing had died away, and all was quiet.
"You will take command here, Rintoul," the Major said.

"I should keep Farquharson up here, if I were you, and leave the Doctor and Bathurst to look after things in general.

I think, Doctor, it would be as well if we appointed Bathurst in charge of the general arrangements of the house.
We have a good amount of stores, but the servants will waste them if they are not looked after.

I should put them on rations, Bathurst; and there might be regular rations of things served out for us too; then it would fall in your province to see that the syces water and feed the horses.
