HOW WE SAVED MAcDOUGALL'S LIFE: A STORY OF AN INDIAN HILL STATION, 1897; 1. Symonds and I worked at a factory in the station. 2. MacDougal looked after one about 12 miles off. 3. But though MacDougal lived so far he somehow never missed a Tennis day - when Miss Jones was to be thre. 4. But one night they quarrelled. 5. And the next day a coolie came tearing over from Mac's bungalow saying the Sahib had gone "pugla" mad. 6. We rode over and found him going steadily through a case of beer and trying to murder his bearer with the empty bottles. 7-8. "See here, Symonds," said I, "better ride back and try to persuade Miss Jones to change her mind and come over and see him." 9. She came. We did not see the meeting, but Mac said afterwards it was very tender and touching. They returned together. 10. We remained behind and sacrificed ourselves rather than he should be tempted again.
