Subject Matter
war
unnamed London Daily Press editor (narrator); Sergeant Patrick Tubridy (Irish F Company soldier); Private Philip Belbin (Anglo-Indian soldier); Punda Rahbah (Gurkha soldier)
The editor of the London Daily Press ventures to the Hurrum Hills along the Afghan border to meet with Tubridy in his quarters to ask delicate questions regarding unguarded talk of a deserter in F Company, something that was rare in the colonial service. Tubridy spoke of a Private Belbin and his friend Punda, and a mission Belbin volunteered for: to locate and stop a lone "avenger of blood", who hacked people to death with his Afghan sword. Tubridy later took a company of men out and found the lone avenger dead and only Belbin's binoculars laying next to him.
