`` We sat down -- a hundred of us , '' the camel went on , `` in a big square , and the men piled our packs and saddles , outside the square , and they fired over our backs , the men did , on all sides of the square . '' `` What sort of men ? Any men that came along ? '' said the troop-horse . `` They teach us in riding school to lie down and let our masters fire across us , but Dick Cunliffe is the only man I 'd trust to do that . It tickles my girths , and , besides , I ca n't see with my head on the ground . '' `` What does it matter who fires across you ? '' said the camel . `` There are plenty of men and plenty of other camels close by , and a great many clouds of smoke . I am not frightened then . I sit still and wait . '' `` And yet , '' said Billy , `` you dream bad dreams and upset the camp at night . Well , well ! Before I 'd lie down , not to speak of sitting down , and let a man fire across me , my heels and his head would have something to say to each other . Did you ever hear anything so awful as that ? '' There was a long silence , and then one of the gun bullocks lifted up his big head and said , `` This is very foolish indeed . There is only one way of fighting . '' `` Oh , go on , '' said Billy . `` Please do n't mind me . I suppose you fellows fight standing on your tails ? ''
`` Only one way , '' XXXXX the two together .
