W WHERE THE PEGU WENT. HEN the pony, frightened by the stone thrown at him by the priest, dashed off, he went back some little way towards Delhi, but not very far. It was because he turned down a steep hill that Mrs. Brisbane so soon lost sight of him and her husband. It was only fear that gave the poor animal strength to run any more, as he had come many miles that morning, and was already tired. The blow from the stone was a hard one; and besides this, Mr. Brisbane, having just come off parade when he started, was still in uniform, of which a sword forms part. This, from the fast pace at which the Pegu was going, knocked against his side, and gave him such blows as to make him think they were intended to urge him to go faster. His rider had no means of trying to stop WHERE THE PEGU WENT.
