Told in the East is a collection of three intriguing stories about British rule in the east. The first two deal with the Indian Mutiny of 1857 and are adventure tales full of action. The author writes about the battle and the honor of warriors. The third is a humorous story with a ship of the British Navy put in for repairs somewhere along the coast of the Persian Gulf.

For the Salt He Had Eaten revolves around Mahommed Khan an aged commander who rescues a British officer's wife with his quick thinking and bravery.
