Towards the close Lieutenant-Colonel Atherton (for he had got promotion) wrote: "You ask me to tell you about poor Forrester and his family." "He had no wife alive, and when he died did not know what had become of his only son.

The boy was at school in England--Bolsover School--and met with an accident, caused, it is said, by the spite of a schoolfellow, which nearly killed him, and wholly crippled him.

He was taken home to his grandmother's, but after she died he disappeared, and poor Forrester had been unable to hear anything about him.

It is a sad story.

I promised Forrester when I got home I would do what I could to find the boy and take care of him.
