five o'clock in the morning
Put in my kit bag one pair of my thickest woollen vests and drawers . I can not carry more , for I mean to take one suit of my own clothes to put on in case , by any accident , I should be discovered and sent back . I can get that carried on the baggage waggon . `` Tomorrow we shall start at five o'clock in the morning and , at the first halt , I shall leave the party quietly . I have no doubt that Gholam Singh will give orders , to the native officer in charge , that I am to be permitted to do so without remark . As soon as I leave the convoy you must join me with my uniform and , above all , with the stain . You can bring out a bag with some provisions for the day , for I shall not return to camp until after dark . ''
