AFTER I got my commission in the Royal Artillery, 

 I stayed six months at the depot in Sheerness, then 

 exchanged into a field battery which was at Kamptee, and 

 went out to India to join it The voyage out and back has 

 been so frequently described that I need not allude to it 

 further than to say that I have been three times round the 

 Cape and seven times overland.
