SAMUEL MATHEWSON BAYLIS
IN MATABELE LAND
"SADDLE and mount and away!"—loud the bugles in Durban are pealing:
Carbine and cartridge and girth-buckle, look to it, troopers, and ride!
Ride for your lives and for England! Ride in your hot saddles reeling!
Red in the blaze of their homesteads, the trail in your kin's blood is dyed.
Up! who be men, and no other—rank, title, or no name, what matter?
