scouted the idea of not sleeping on a comfortable bed were
to bo seen bivouacking on the open ground, the bare
earth for a pillow. For twenty-four hours and morn
women and children tasted no food. " On, on, to
Dugshai," was the cry. " The Goorkhas have slaughtered
those who were mad enough to remain at Simla, and they
are fast in pursuit to massacre us." To l)ugshai and to
Kassowlie this stream of fugitives poured in, objects of
pity and compassion. And whence arose this misery, this
distressing scene, a court of inquiry will no doubt explain.
A most uncalled-for distrust of the Goorkhas was un-
questionably the prominent cause ; the disgraceful
cowardly flight of those whose presence would have given
confidence was another reason. No wonder that poor
timid creatures as women are should have been frightened
almost out of their lives on finding that those to whom
they looked for protection had vanished from fear; but
many a woman's heart beat less front fear, many a
woman's courage supported her in her trial more firmly,
than did the hearts of many a man, whose lengthened
visages and frighted demeanour bespoke unmitigated fear.
