Grim tells me all Australians have been sent home and discharged.

What about me ?" "Um-m-m! Ah! This will have to be considered.

Let's see; to whom did you surrender ?" "Damn you, I didn't surrender! I met Grim in the desert, and reported to him for duty." "Met Major Grim, eh ?" "Yes," said Grim, appearing in the door.

"I came across him in the desert; he reported for duty; I gave him an order, and he obeyed it.
Everything's regular." "Um-m-m! How'd you make that out--regular?
Have you any proof he wasn't a deserter?
He'll have to be charged with desertion and tried by court martial, I'm afraid.

Possibly a mere formality, but it'll have to be done, you know, before he can be given a clear discharge.
