Grant, James
Fiction
The blood-red sun went swiftly down westward of the point of attack
beyond Zagazig, darkness fell as swiftly over the desert and the
triple lines of canal that flow between both Mahsameh and Abassa, and
then our army, fourteen thousand strong, including foot, horse, and
artillery, began in silence the midnight march for Tel-el-Kebir, the
last march as it proved to many a brave young fellow.
As the regiment moved off, Allan thought of Evan Cameron's
communication over-night, and an irrepressible regret and anxiety
took possession of him, as he had an unaccountable presentiment that
his friend was doomed to fall in the coming strife. Of himself he
never thought at all.
