Narrative in the form of a reminiscence of India and the narrator - a British officer's - infiltration of enemy lines with his Sikh soldiers. His entry into a British garrison single-handed to learn how long it could withstand a siege after a savage fight between his men and the moslems. Frequent British accolades of loyalty and courage of his men - with undertone of suspicion of foreigners. Action tale. (PB)
