Outline

Williams is irritated by the men’s inability to correctly perform an evening ceremony whereby the flag is run down the mast and is delighted when an entertainments officer arrives from Delhi, with orders that the party performs in the jungle. He confirms that Parkin cannot go because he has a bad case of dandruff. However the Colonel orders that all of them, including himself and Ashford should go, and that includes Williams and Parkin.
