An English military writer, speaking of that officer's frequent ill-luck, says frankly: Upon the loot of Lucknow an officer gave him a valuable cashmere shawl. It was stolen. The men of his company afterwards presented him with two silver bowls. They shared the same fate. Review of Reviews, September, 1890, p. 276. There was no American officer of whose career such matters would be so openly affirmed. Foraging under Banks was for a time unchecked (Hosmer's Color-Guard, p. 103).
