CHAPTER XXII[ToC]
THE SECRET RAILWAY TIME-TABLE
Thank God for the early rains!
After the long winter months, dry and dusty, terrific storms pass over the country, torrents of rain, lashing hailstones. The beautiful world is washed clean, and everywhere the moist brown earth gives promise of a plentiful supply of fresh young grass, which means food for the weary underfed horses on commando, and new life, new hopes to the men.
Only the middle of August and already the first summer rains are falling!
Thank God again!
