tumbleinga ! -LSB- Look out ; you 'll fall ! -RSB- and they tumbleingaed over the black edge of nothing . Close upon 9 p.m. the combined attack developed ; Khye-Kheens across the valley , and Malots in front of us , pluggin ' at long range and yellin ' to each other to come along and cut our infidel throats . Then they skirmished up to the gate , and began the old game of calling our Pathans renegades , and invitin ' 'em to join the holy war . One of our men , a young fellow from Dera Ismail , jumped on the wall to slang 'em back , and jumped down , blubbing like a child . He 'd been hit smack in the middle of the hand .
