BY
CAPTAIN FRANK E. YOUNGHUSBAND, C.I.E.,
INDIAN STAFF CORPS,
GOLD MEDALLIST, ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.
` Make me feel the wild pulsation that I felt before the strife,
When I heard my days before me, and the tumult of my life ;
Yearning for the large excitement that the coming years would yield,
Eager-hearted as a boy when first he leaves his father's field.
And his spirit leaps within him to be gone before him then,
Underneath the lights he looks at, in among the throngs of men
Men, my brothers, men the workers, ever reaping something new,
That which they have done but earnest of the things that they shall do."
TENNYSON.
