Pandy’s Nerve and Politeness.

London Truth, After the repulse of the rebel attack on the Shah Nueejf, at Lucknow, one Pandy counterfeited death with ijreat skill, then all of a sudden sprang to his feet and ran like a deer. He was still within easy range, and several rifles were leveled at him; but Sergeant Findley, who was on the rampart, and himself one of the best shots in the service, called out: “Don’t fire, men; give the poor devil a chance!” Instead of a volley of bullets he got a cheer to speed him on his way. As soon as he heard it he realized the position, halted, turned around, and putting up both his hands, with the palms together’ in front of his face, salaamed profoundly, and then walked slowly away, while the Highland soldiers on the ramparts waved their featner bonnets and dapped their hands.
