THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., JANUARY 22, 1928—PART 7 - Bare Hands Used in Battle Against Pathan Steel in Darkness . Capt. Evans, late of the Brit- ish Army in India, tells here an incident of his younger days on the Pathan frontier. In addition to the tense situation with the enemy, the strain of living in close quarters with but one other man and the extreme reactions this caused can be readily appre- ciated by all those who have been cut off for any length of time from civilization.

S THE occupation of Jumma Pahar was undertaken chicfly on the the-manger principle. That is if we had not occupied it. the smen wouid. Not only did it country round and the n: i but not a single thing in the camp in the valley below could escape the keen eye of a Pathan watcher on the Pahar. 3 The defenses of the Pahar were dis- primitive.

Shortly after breakfast, and again just before din- | ner, the adjutant rang up from head- | quarters to ask if all was well. The| telephone, laid our own signalers. was extraordinari; bad, so though only a few miles away, voice sounded thin and indistinct, and os h> had five othor pickets to tali to bosides his ordinary routine work. his natural impuise was to make the in- terview as short and sweet as possible. Not so the pair on the Pinpoint; the adjutant was our one link with civ- lization, the only European voice we seard, other than each other's, from day's end to day's end, and we inade the most childish excuses to prolong th2 conversation. We took it in turn: if Whittall spoke in the morning, I had the eve- ning chat. and so on. Th2 bitter fecl- ings with which I listened to the most fascinating one-sided conversation going on between Whittall and the adjutan: were only equaled by th» hatred I knew to be in Whittall's heart as he stamped about the room during my furns. *x % x | know, but Whittall used to excite | me almost to fury at times.

That evening | 1 falled to find my soap; neither of the bearers could produce it, and groping under beds and through boxes on a hot, airless night did not tend to soothe my temper. When the soap was event- ually brought back, from well outside the camp. it was the last straw. ‘Whittall had had “second bath"—the water shortage was so acute that we had to have one between us—and had left the precious cake in the bath, from which, after remaining in the water for over an hour, it had been emptied out. ‘When finally recovered, it was a flabby. shapeless thing, horrid flug it savagely across the room at the musical offender.
