“Well,” said one of the British officers, “that is a method of getting a pulpit that I never heard of before.” Transcriber’s Notes Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed. Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained. Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained. The captions of illustrations were printed in italics. To improve readability, those italics are not indicated in the Plain Text version of this eBook. Italics elsewhere are indicated by _underscores_. End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Blue Shirt and Khaki a Comparison, by James F. J. Archibald
