"
True
enough
,
"
said
Billy
.
"
Stop
shaking
,
youngster
.
The
first
time
they
put
the
full
harness
with
all
its
chains
on
my
back
I
stood
on
my
forelegs
and
kicked
every
bit
of
it
off
.
I
had
n't
learned
the
real
science
of
kicking
then
,
but
the
battery
said
they
had
never
seen
anything
like
it
.
"
"
But
this
was
n't
harness
or
anything
that
jingled
,
"
said
the
young
mule
.
"
You
know
I
do
n't
mind
that
now
,
Billy
.
It
was
Things
like
trees
,
and
they
fell
up
and
down
the
lines
and
bubbled
;
and
my
head-rope
broke
,
and
I
could
n't
find
my
driver
,
and
I
could
n't
find
you
,
Billy
,
so
I
ran
off
with
--
with
these
gentlemen
.
"
"
H
'm
!
"
said
Billy
.
"
As
soon
as
I
heard
the
camels
were
loose
I
came
away
on
my
own
account
.
When
a
battery
--
a
screw-gun
mule
calls
gun-bullocks
gentlemen
,
he
must
be
very
badly
shaken
up
.
Who
are
you
fellows
on
the
ground
there
?
"
The
gun
bullocks
rolled
their
cuds
,
and
answered
both
together
:
"
The
seventh
yoke
of
the
first
gun
of
the
Big
Gun
Battery
.
We
were
asleep
when
the
camels
came
,
but
when
we
were
trampled
on
we
got
up
and
walked
away
.
It
is
better
to
lie
quiet
in
the
mud
than
to
be
disturbed
on
good
bedding
.
We
told
your
friend
here
that
there
was
nothing
to
be
afraid
of
,
but
he
knew
so
much
that
he
thought
otherwise
.
Wah
!
"
They
went
on
chewing
.
"
That
comes
of
being
afraid
,
"
said
Billy
.
"
You
get
laughed
at
by
gun-bullocks
.
I
hope
you
like
it
,
young
un
.
"
The
young
mule
's
teeth
snapped
,
and
I
heard
him
say
something
about
not
being
afraid
of
any
beefy
old
bullock
in
the
world
.
But
the
bullocks
only
clicked
their
horns
together
and
went
on
chewing
.
"
Now
,
do
n't
be
angry
after
you
've
been
afraid
.
That
's
the
worst
kind
of
cowardice
,
"
said
the
troop-horse
.
"
Anybody
can
be
forgiven
for
being
scared
in
the
night
,
I
think
,
if
they
see
things
they
do
n't
understand
.
We
've
broken
out
of
our
pickets
,
again
and
again
,
four
hundred
and
fifty
of
us
,
just
because
a
new
recruit
got
to
telling
tales
of
whip
snakes
at
home
in
Australia
till
we
were
scared
to
death
of
the
loose
ends
of
our
head-ropes
.
"
"
That
's
all
very
well
in
camp
,
"
said
Billy
.
"
I
'm
not
above
stampeding
myself
,
for
the
fun
of
the
thing
,
when
I
have
n't
been
out
for
a
day
or
two
.
But
what
do
you
do
on
active
service
?
