The troop skilfully turns their horses, as if on a penny,
inches from the BASUTO
NCO's then ride away, whooping, in high spirits.
LORD CHELMSFORD & COL. CREALOCK, having watched this exhibition,
ride forward to meet COL. DURNFORD.
CHELMSFORD:
Splendid horsemanship Who are they?
DURNFORD:
Sikali Horse, My Lord. Christians alL I know each one by name.
CHELMSFORD:
They come well recommended do they?
DURNFORD:
My Lord, they rode for me at Bushman '5 Pass.
CHELMSFORD:
Oh... indeed. Crealock, we should see that Colonel Dumford has
an
Officer for his hard riders. Perhaps a subaltern from the
Twenty Fourth.
DURNFORD:
I thought it might be more effective to find someone who speaks
Zulu.
CHELMSFORD & CREALOCK exchange glances.
CREALOCK:
Yes. I see you've issued each of them with a Martini Henry
Carbine.
Our quota for Native contingencies: one rifle to ten men and
only five
rounds per rifle.
CHELMSFORD:
But will they make good use of them?
DURNEORD:
They're as good marksmen as horsemen.
CHELMSFORD:
There's no doubting their horsemanship Colonel Durnford.
CHELMSFORD & DURNFORD salute.
DURNFORD:
Mr. Crealock.
CREALOCK nods.
DURNFORD exits offscreen.

CHELMSFORD:
We must think how to make best use of Colonel Durnford's African
knowledge.
36.Through the smoke of the field kitchens enters the
Honourable WILLIAM
VEREKER, aristocratically aloof on a fine stallion, his servant
following on an
equally fine horse. He rides purposely towards COL. DURNFORD as
if he has
been seeking him.
VEREKER:
Colonel Durnford... William Vereker. I hear you 've been seeking
Officers?
DURNFORD:
Good ones, yes, Mr Vereker. Gentlemen who can ride and shoot
DURNFORD waits for a reaction. VEREKER, cool, looks into
DURNFORD's
face and takes out his rifle.
Cantering some distance away, VEREKER turns, spurs his horse
vigorously and,
on reaching DURNFORD, throws his rifle up into the aim. He
fires one-handed
at the half carcass of a cow being hung up near the field
kitchens without veering
his galloping horse. The half carcass judders under the impact
of the heavy
bullet.
37.PTE. WILLIAMS has been jogging wretchedly on. On hearing the
bullet he throws
himself to the ground believing he has been shot. Two of the
kitchen hands help
him to his feet.
38.CLOSE UP of SOT. WILLIAMS.
SGT. WILLIAMS
Shouting across the field:
Private Williams. You've stopped.
39.PTE. WILLIAMS regains his composure and, once more lifting
head, continues to jog. SGT. WILLIAMS looks on with smug
satisfaction.
40.As VEREKER approaches, DURNFORD commands the attention of
LT. RAW:
DURNFORD:
Mr. Raw. Take Mr. Vereker to the Store and see he '5 issued the
necessary equipment And then show him to the Mess and explain
to him
