Tom's first idea was to scream out a warning to his comrades, but
to his horror he found that sheer terror had made him powerless to
sound the alarm.

Night after night a lone sentry would be silently knifed at his post of dty.
Then a scream in the night would startle the sleeping camp and
when the commotion had died down two or three soldiers would be
found dead in their beds—slaughtered as they slept.
The low pifched tents accommodated 18 men, and the men, Toin says, slept

There is no such thing as pigskin

us are familiar, are not made from

Tom says he opened his mouth to scream but not a sound came
from his dry throat and, as he lay there shamming sleep he saw the
long knife rise and fall and heard the frightful death rattle in the
throat of a tent-mate! 7
The soft-footed Afghan moved on to the next cot—stepping between the
sleep ers as quietly as a cat—and slashing steadfly from side to side!
A splash of warm blood on his cheek brought Tom out of- his trance of
terror but before he could move the Afghan seemed to sense that someone
was awake in that blood-soaked tent and be paused AND STARED STRAIGHT
AT TOM!
Shamming sleep still—but with all his senses alert—Tom says, he
peekedthrough half-closed eyeseand-tried to figure his chances—would,
he have time to reach his gun before that red knife reached his throat?-
He had about decided to risk it when the tent flap moved again and A
SECOND AFGHAN STEPPED INSIDE!
There Became Two to Worry About. -
The second Arghan’s eyes swept the tent quickly—Tom saw him point
with his sword AT HIM and the first native crept quietly toward Tom—his
blood-red knife drawn back for the fatal thrust!
At that moment, Tom says, his manhood returned to him. As the
native sprang, Tom bounded from bed to meet him—his pent up scream
shattered the silence of the night—and his handr closed with a death
grip on the throat of the murderous Afghan.
, . Terror must have lent him strength, Tdm thinks, because he held on to
that throat with & grip of steel—the knife could not reach him—he squeezed
and squeezed and screamed and kicked out savagely with his knees at the
groin of his enemy—there was a sickening crash. '

vJ your hair because today we are going adventure hunting in the
mysterious, blood-Soaked land of India.
Thomas McGrath is the man to blame if you get a sudden heart
attack while reading this, so don’t blame me.
Back in "97 and 98 Tom was a "Tommy" in the Brhish army on service in
India. He was a member of the third brigade, Tlirah field force, stationed on
the northwest frontier of India, and his brigade was operating against the
Afghans.
Now your Afghan is about as brave and fearless a tribesman as you can
find anywhere, but his ideas of bravery and ours are slightly different.
For instance, an Afghan’s idea of supreme heroism is to sneak into
the tents of the enemy and cut as many throats as he can before he
gets his own cut.
And that's exactly the sort of warfare they were waging on Tom's outfit.

Eskimos Dei, Not Live In snow Houses
I Most of the stories we gead about
the Fskimos paint them as living in
snow houses or, as they are generally
'called, igloos. A a matter of fact,
, however, it may be stated that per-
l haps not half of them have ever
seen a snow house. And only a very
few of these who have seen them
have ever spent a winter in them.
