A hundred feet south a new sentry had just rotated into position.

After that Billy heard the footfalls no longer, for the new sentry was barefoot.

I was a new sentry-I'dbeen out maybe a week-andI got sloppy and let you see me.

The new sentry squatted beside the door, while he whom he had relieved made his way to his own hut.

By now new sentries had slowly swung up to their positions behind the guns.

He would, therefore, not have long to wait before the new sentries should present themselves in his cell.
