This book consists of a series of ten loosely-connected stories of life in India. They are told by Reginald Wayne, a young Englishman who becomes an officer in the 2d Bengal Lancers. For the most part they concern the exploits of Sirdar Bahadur Mohammed Khan, a “fire-eater” Mohammedan officer. Three of them have an element of romance, but the majority tell of the various problems that the English government meets in India. The titles are: First impressions; La belle Americaine; How Mohammed Khan became invulnerable; How the Sirdar prevented a great war; The Tàj—and a fortune-teller; How the Sirdar dacoited a dacoit; How we fed crocodiles on the Indus; The destiny of the emerald eye; How we guarded the great pearl necklace; How the Sirdar fought Ali Bagh, the Afridi.
