THE LIBERATION CF TI-1,3 153 PitISONERS AT CA WN-
P3ltll. :s a singular fact that 0311111 of th.s recent official
'enera frern Io lin even hint at the allege 1 liberation of
150 prix iners b; M. Grant at Cawopore, and the priv ate
letters are equally si'elt. Thera is a letter in to vn from
an officer high in cfmmand, Oat ed Sept. 16, from the spot,
and it contains no me tinia of the transaction.
A STORY OF Tll3 Rev LT. —A lady w'th two children.
one an infant, val the other a boy of four years oh+, we
h-ought one day in a native cast by s me vi lagers to this
B i iris e ,rnp, before Delhi. The lady was the wife of Mr.
Non, the deputy collector of a distlict near D lhi. He
was absent from his home when the insurrecti n occurred.
Mr.. Nun and her eiildren were the only Europnans in
their home, and that house was et a considerable distance
from any Eur)pes:n station. The b-woiliered lady knew
not how to act, or where to fly. News cane that the
Sepnys were killing all the Eur ipeans, and the r xistence
of a deputy collector and his residence must have been
generally known. The neighbouring villagers knew her
(larger, t ffered her shelter. and urged her to remain in hid-
ing with them. She followed their ads ice at last—left her
house with her children in the absence dinar husband, only
in rime to escape the S.epoys, who destroyed oheir property,
and offered a reward of one hnnired rupees for her seiznv.
For three months M s. Yun and her ch ldren were hi !den
by The Hindoo vill gers. She had no money ; but sh was
supplied wi 11 cloth s, with food ar.d shelter, f x2eritncing
no inconvenience that her native fiends could prevent, and
none that was not Lcidental to her position. When the
hunters for her life, and cbi'dren's liven, came dang.rouly
near to her hiding pace, she was removed to another yin,r.
The offer of one hundred rupees—ten p have
been claimed by one of mat y person., fi felts. in the
circumstance is a guarantee of their gmeresi y. Tice great
risk in their ho pita'ity, for the discovery of the lady would
have insured the ruin of these villages. 'rue cornm'tted
treason to the li.wiess men who, for a time, rui d the coat—
try, io f.tnr of a helpless wontatt, wllo might never be
able to repay the smallest per ion of he: debt—the cost of
her living : one of a nation whose subjects were hunted to
death on every ide, and whose reign was supposed
to be closed in blood. The story has all the elemeni of
romance, for Flora McD maid had many Ilindoo
in favour, not of a print., hut a stranger, an alien
in blood, in racot, and reigion, whose people seemed to be
beaten, banished, and drives from the land.-714.
