He was one of the intimates of ScobelelT—indeed, the men were so attached to each other that Scobeleff nearly always insisted that McGahan should share his tent with him. and McGahan was in the tent of Scobeleff the night after the disastrous assault on Plevna. Scobeleff was. said McGahan, a wonderful picture, of the horrors and terrors of war. His face was black with powder, his uniform was In rags, and his sword was twisted like a corkscrew. It is evident from this description that Scobeleff took part with his own hand in some of the work of the day. There was a sequel, by the way. to? this pic ture. I ant not quite sure whether McGahan published it. but he told it to me. Scobeleff was always a dandy. Even in leading a charge he was dressed with dandical In the middle of the night McGahan was woke up. and he saw Scobeleff dress Ing himself with great care, putting on a new uniform and even perfuming his hair and clothes. And then came another transformation.
