enemy close at hand. There were men ahead, and alight
like a potfire was gleaming at no great distance. These
warnings were unheeded by the brigadier, who continued
to advance, and as he did so he was hit by a discharge of
grape suddenly poured in upon the advanced guard. The
general's horse carried his body madly forward into Lie
ranks of the rebels, and it was not recovered till alurtly
after, when a charge had disposed of the rebels. No
time was lost in attacking. The surmise caused by the
gun exploding had hardly time to subside when a squadron
of Carabineera, under Captains Forater, Davies, and
Beaty, was formed up and charged. The gun was taken.
But in rear of it was a deep ditch, full of Ghazees, Maho-
medan fanatics. The Carabineers went in at them—
dropped in amongst them in the ditch, and a hand•to-
hand conflict ensued. " Forster was at the bottom, but
managed to struggle out, when three Ghagees set on hies,
and had it not been for a sergear.t-major, who came to his
rescue, poor Forster would have been no more." As it
was he received severe wounds, and the two other officers,
Beatty and Davies, were also hit. All, however, were doing
well. The remaining casualties were 11 killed and 12
wounded. The column resumed its march.
Sir Cohn Campbell, strengthened by the arrival of this
new brigade on the 3rd of May, in advance of Shahjehan•
pore, proceeded rapidly towards Bareilly, and on the sth
found the enemy at a bridge over the Nukut'ea. The
heavy guns were moved up to clear the bridge, and after a
few discharges the necessary result was obtained. The
rebel artillery was silenced, then captured, and positions
taken commanding the entrance into cantonment*. "Our
heavy pieces and shells," says an eyewitness, " drove the
rebels from one cover to another until they fled in all direc-
tions. Some of the Wanes came on most pluckily,
worthy of a better cause, and met their deaths like men.
General Walpole narrowly escaped death. He was attacked
by two men, who hacked away at his horse, inflicting a
wound which nearly severed three fingers of the general's
right hand. The fellows were immediately bayoneted
Dr. end 1 mistook a party of the rebel sowers for our
men, and just escaped capture, an you see non-combatants
get into danger sometimes. Mr. Russell travels in a
dhoolie in consequence of a kick from a horse. When the
baggage was attacked hie bearers dropped him on the road
and ran. 11l as he was, he managed to mount a horse,
and unfortunately got a sunstroke, which nearly proved
fatal. He is doing well, but requires great and constant
attention. We were all exposed tne whole day, and had to

and we occupied the cantonment next day."
