37i FAREWELL TO THE HILLS. 



at Jewala Mookee, and clid not reach the 

 place, to which my tent and servants had 

 been sent from the regiment, until very late. 

 Poor Colls suffered much during this ride, 

 as the saddle hurt his as yet unhealed 

 wound, but his appetite not suffering, he, as 

 well as myself, did full justice to the first 

 really good dinner we had eaten for months. 

 On the 14th of October, we cantered into 

 Jullunder, about thirty-five miles, and 

 found all well. 



My sporting excursions in the Hills, are 

 for the present ended, although I trust not 

 for ever, and I hope that in future years, I 

 may again wander with my friend Wilson, 

 and sharp-eyed Ossaroo, over valley and 

 mountain : may once more, face Bruin in his 

 haunts, and bring down many an ibex, amidst 

 the rocks and the snows of the Himalayas. 



Shortly after my return to Jullunder, 

 the regiment marched to Peshawur, where 

 it arrived early in January 1852 ; and 

 there being no prospect of any active 

 employment, I determined to return home.
