So it came about that we captured every single fugitive.

They were five all told, and I sent them, tied together, down to Ranjoor Singh.

Thereupon he went to the Turk, and promised him personal violence if another of his men should attempt to break away.

So the Turk gave orders that were obeyed.

Without Abraham I do not know what he would have done.
