FACT FOR PHYSIOLOGISTS !—lt is a
singular fact that in this enlightened age and country the
treatment usually adopted by the Faculty, in cases of Dyspepsia (In-
dimstion), is the result of a false theory, indicating a lamentable
ignorance of the l'hyslology of the Stomach and Digestive Organs;
and is in most instances calculated to establish and confirm the ma-
lady it is intend d to remove.

" Camp, Knllianpore, 91 miles from
Allahabad, July 15. '
"—, I would have written to you before to tall
you of our doldi at Futtehpore on Sunday last, the
131 h, but we had so hard a day's work that I could
not sit down to seribble, -and yesterday my time
was so much taken up by annexing the goods and
chattels of departed niggers that I postponed my
letter till to-day. Our camp is such a large one
and so difficult to move that, although we started
at 3 o'clock this morning, we only got to our en-
camping ground at half-past 2. By ‘we' I mean
our carts, fur the line of march extends over three
miles of road, and private conveyances always come
on to the road in the rear of the -Others. I con-
sequently . was forced to take shelter under a
broken-down old buggy, and sit in the rain on the
look-out for my carts. It is now half-past 5 o'clock,
and we have just finished breakfast, so I have but
little time to -write. I must commence with a
short account of the 'Battle of Futtebpore.' Well,
it was on a Sunday morning, the memorable 13th
of July, 1857, when the British column, composed
of &c., Sip.,• &c., and so on—for style, te. vide the
Wellington Despatches. But to tell you my own
tale; = you see we fell in with 'Havelock's force, and
marched on toßelunda, 19 mies from our ground,
and 21 from the General's camp. We arrived
there at a quarter to 10 o'clock or thereabouts, and
felbetet, taking-up our peeition on both sides of the
road, about I,ooo'Yard.s this side of Belunda, on a
fine (pen plain stretching to 'FuttehpOre, • alsoitt
thee e miles off. We had got our tents up, - when
Colonel Tytler, -who had ridden up to Futtehpore
to reconnoitre, galloped back, saying that the rebels
were on the road,. moving down to *tie. Imme-
diately the alarm was sounded, and the troops rill
fell•out so quietly and steadily it was charmi'ig to
see them. The camp was beautifully laid out, the
guns in the centre on the road, and the troops on
both sides, so they had only to move from their tents
to come to the front. Out they came eager fir the
fun like so many bulldogs, and as jolly as possible,
although just off a tiring march. Out we went,
and a crowd of niggers a;ong the road in the dis-
tance, and a boom-boom (you know how the big
guns speak) told us plainly that they were playing
at bowls against our advanced guard (cavalry.) On
they crept and the cavalry came in, and we saw in
tie distance closing in—in a semicircle—a vast body
of cavalry: On the beggars came, . and on- we
went, our guns taking up a nice position on-the
road and e,n the sides.
" About two or three feeble and insane attempts
were mane by the rebels t 3 pitch their shot into
us, but somehow or other the guns wouldn't the
straight, and a puff and a bang from one of ours
sent a ball flying into their first gun, and we could
see the round shot ploughing them up, and the
grape falling on all sides and shells bursting over
their head.. It was moat refreshing. They could
not. stand it. • Those behind dried ''ol3. I' while
those in front cried 'Beck l' and presently the
whole mash was seen to move on, leaving, to our
delight, a thundering big gun. We moved on, on,
and -on. Not another shot was- fired by thew,
whits our shot went rolling in among.them, just as
if the old Allahabad eleven were playing the Fut
tehpore lot. OD, on, and more guns appeared.
The cavalry were dispersed by a few shot and shell,
and we' presently found ourselves before the city.
Guns, dead bullocks, defunct niggers, and broken
tumbrils lined the-road, -and among •the- many un-
fortunates was to be seen an unfortunate old ele-
phant, _ whose fate it had been to carry the General
into the field, an old rascally Subadar of the 2d
Cavalry, whO had been created a general by Nana
Sahib. A wag of an artillery-sergeant had taken a
pop at him, and it went in under the poor
.beast:s
tail and put at his chest, pitching the Subadar
Sahib-lialeadour on his nose. Well, we Cavalry
(for I had j"iuei them) went on the right of the
city, supporting the Fusiliers, on the left a party of
the sithr -regiments and some in the-centre to go
up the city With the gives. On we went steadily.
Here the rebels made a slight stand, and sneaking
about in Vie gardens and houses pounded volleys
into us • but their fire was so wild and miserable
that the balls merely whistled over our heads.
Well; we were told to move on ahead and watch,
. ,
the enemy, and did so. and fond them scuttling
off in all directions, and gatftlenry came on a party
of about 30 of the 2d Cavalry."
" Cawnpore side of the mullah with
the big bridge, July 16. '
" I had no time to finish this yeserclay, and so
take up my pen again. We have-had two more
fights again to-day, beating the villians off and
taking five guns, including a 32-pounder, and a 24-
pound howitzer. But to resume my story,—on
seeing the enemy Palliser called the men to
charge and dashed on ; but the scoundrels scarcely
altered their pace, and met 'the enemy at the same
pace that they came down towards us. Their
design was evident ; they came waving their swords
to our men and riding round our party, making
signs to them to come over to their side. We could
.not dash out upon them as we were only 4 to their
30, and when our men hung back a dash out would
only have ended in our being cut up. One or two
came iu at us, and one or two blows were ex-
changed. Palliser was unseated by his horse
swerving suddenly, and then the row commenced.
The 2d Cavalry men tried to get at him,. and his
native officers closed round him to save him, and
they certainly fought like good men and true—the
few of them. I got a couple of slaps at them with
my Colt while they were trying to get in at Palliser,
but Gayer, the doctor, was the only one who got a
sword cut at them. He gave a scoundrel a very
neat wipe on the shoulder in return for a cut at his
arm, which only touched the coat. While this was
going on the rear men turned tail and left us,
galloping back as hard as their horses could go,
and, the whole body of the Cavalry appearing tom
behind some trees, we were forced to return, at a
deuced good pace too. I never rode so hard in my
life. It was a regular race for our necks, for the
whole of the fellows ware behind our small party,
thirsting for our blood. I had a couple of fellows
just behind me, but my old horse managed to carry
me along. I write this with shame and grief, but
it was no fault of Palliser's or ours. If the rascals
had not left us so shamefully we could have ridden
over the 30 men and have returned steadily before
the rest of the Cavalry came up. They had in im-
mense number of Regulars and Irregulars. For
the moment I fully believed that our men were
about to join the 2d Cavalry and leave us to their
mercy ; you may imagine how jolly I felt. The
poor Re:saldar of Hardinge's regiment, Nujeeb
Khan, a fine tall fellow with a black beard, after
saving Palliser fell with his horse on crossing a
ditch we had to pees, and was cruelly cut up.
Seven- of our men were killed, while they
say they polished off five of the Regulars ; but I
believe this to be a lie, for I onlysaw one body, that
of a havildar of the 2d Cavalry. The wretched
creature's bridle broke when charging down, and
h's horse took him slap into the middle of our
fellows. Our men were not disbanded, as they
had not mutinied-, but it was determined to use
them as baggage guards only, &c. The necessity
for doing so was afterwards proved, as I shall re-
late in the course of my tale. Well, the stand
made in the gardens was very soon over, and tne
whole force scuttled off, leaving carts containing
all soxts of baggage, and great was • the plunder
there if. • Our boys had been 24 miles, so we could
go no further, and we encamped this side of tie
city. We were in our tents about two o'clock,
and after having a little grub 1 sallied out to see
what was to be had. -A Major-General's white
saddle-cloth, edged with gold lace, an English
leathern valise, two good durries, a Cashmere
chola, a pistol, a lot of puggry cloth, some horse
traps, and a pollparrot, proved a valuable addition
Ito my stook of property. The town was sacked by
the Europeans,i Sykeses (as the soldiers call the
Sikhs), anu camp followers, and some of the prin-
cipal houses blown up, and thatched houses burnt.
We came on yesterday without anything happen-
ing, except that some donkey in the volunteer
cavalry swore he saw a body of men in a village,
and shot and shell was pitched into the place as
quick as the guns could fire. It was found after-
wards that the place was empty, and so much eood
ammunition was thrown away for nothing. Well,
those rascally Irregulars in the rear with the bag-
gage, hearing the guns, actually attempted to turn
it back. They were sharply looked after by the
Highlanders, and were disbanded last night. We
heard this morning that the rebels were making a
stand at Aoung, about four miles on the Futteh-
pore side of the big bridge, and we also heard that
werethey weretrue breawkienf:tulnici ebtrhiedgme
at
A.wnc.unTpeanrd beat
reports
them back foragain after a couple of hours' ' good fight-
ing. They made capital Flay with their gune, but
we were too sharp with them. I joined the 64th
and 84th Regiments, and went into the ranks with
my old double-barrelled gun. The round shot and
bullets pliyed into us like rain, but few fellows
were struck. Major S tiding (64th), a splendid fellow,
had a very narrow escape ; he was about 10 yards

ahead of the regiment to the left when a 9-pounder
cams dlwn between his horse's legl, covering him
with mud. While joining square to resist an ex-
pected charge of the cavalry a musket ball struck a
man's musket by my side and lodged_in the stock
close to his fingers. Three of our men were touched
by bullets, not hurt much, while a round shot hit
one man's bayone4,. Well, we beat theni back, and
on nearing, the' bridge we found the fellows in-
trenched on the other side with, the two big guns
above mentioned. They were u'long way off, but
a 32-pounder came bounding along to its. We
were -unfortunately -in- column and not in line.
Make. way for hiin—let him go,' was the cry as
we saw the big ball hopping a'ong to us ; out the
fellows.fill, but it caught one poor 'fellow on the
leg, smashing• it up, and injuring another man
slightly. We then were ordered to lie down while
the guns came up and silenced their battery. A
poor Highlander had his head taken off by a round
shot. These were the only casualties in this affair.
k Altogether about 15 'men were wounded, including
poor old Renaud of the Fusiliers, who was severely
wouuded by a, musket-ball in the thigh while lead-
ing his boys on. They beha,ved splendidly, and
took one gun themselves, blowing the GlA.andanzes'
brains out at tie guns. Here we are now, this
side of the big - britlge. They, had made a capital
ba try for their guns, and had they stood to them
we might have had sonie trouble.; But what can
they do ? Their cavalry tried to cut off our -bag-
gage, .but our rear-guilt(' knocked, at least 50 off
their'saddles:'

- JULY 2J. "
Wp have asunished offenders so rigidly-that I
think we shall haVe little trouble after the rebel-
lion is put down. Luckneve is all safe. The approach
of our troops.ha:s drawn the insurg nts off, and it is
supposed that they are iutrenching themselves
somewhere On the road.
"The. &fest the Cawnpore rebels sustained in
four engagements Jaag, disheartened theta greatly,
and there ie no deubt the work our brave boys have
before them will be accomplished without much
trouble. They cannot stand a hand-to-hand fight
with Europans; and the " Hurrah" which pre-
cedes the charge- strikes as much .terror into
their cowardly hearts as a round of grape.
You know that the day was won in our
last engagement by a. gallant charge made by our
fellow Upon the enemy late in the evening, when
we had been fighting for three hours, after marching
neatly the whole day under a sun that knocked the
boys down by the dozen. Poor fellows. We had
cart-loads of them sick from sore feet and sunstrokes.
We had beaten them back from battery to battery.
You know the way.., Our big guns pounded them,
and we ran in with a cheer and took each battery
with the b tyonet. Tho sun down, and we advanced
in front of the only battery they had left drawn up
on the Grand Trunk 'road. The fire was fearful.
The whole of the force was assembled there. We
lay down in the field while the round shot and
grape literallystere the ranks up. . Tue.guns should
have been Up; but the • bullocks were. too fagged
and tired to drag theuaover the heavy ground. The
old general at last saw it was too much. -The devils
were pelting at us with their bands playing. I saw
and heard them distinctly, and up he came, ' Get
up, my lads, and take those pus.' Up we
got with a heer—it was more like a howl—and
charged up, giving them a volley at 80 yard's, and
ran in: it was too much. The valiant.ll,ooo fled
before us, and in a few moments the guns were oars,
'and Ca,wnpore was gained. •
",We lay out there all night, after collecting the
wounded—hurigiy, thirsty, and cold, with nothing
but dirty ditch water to drink, but it was like necs
tar ! .Our baggage had been left behind, four miles,
and we saw nothing of it until 9 o'clock next mem-
ing, when we marched into Cawnpore. It was
work.for'all, but the poor sick and. wotended, how
they must have suffered I Poor Captain Currie, of
her Majesty's 84th, with which I remained during
the last tight, was knocked down by a round shot
from the big gun, a 24-pounder which we took
at the dose of the day. Nearly the whole of
his back wag carried away, poor fellow, and: yet
he lingered for three days. :I attended him and
gave-hipa watea_on the field that day, and saw his
wound. I never saw. such a shocking sight. Other
poor fellows had their legs taken off, and others
their arms. It was a sad, sad 'night, and made me
truly thankful for the esc tpos I had ha,l."
The following letter is written from a non-com-
missioned officer of the 84 h Regiment .
" Oude, Aug. 1.
" We went from Allaliabad to Cawnpore by bul-
lock train 30 miles a-day, -our presence being ur-
gently required, we marched the same day that we
received the older, half the men and carts, half out
walking. Nothing particular occurred on themarch
'until 'we came to 'Futtypore, and such a horrible
stink I never smelt. The party who preceded us
there had had a sharp fight with the insurgents,
and all sorts of animals were strewed about the
place in a state of decomposition—ammunition, big
guns, tents, carts, artillery waggons, grape and
canister, all strewn about, in fact, articles of all
description—one had not to be at a loss for an arti-
cle, fr .m a piece of Ordnance to a big drum; until
we came to Cawnpore other such sights met our
view. Our men had four tights. Poor Capt. Currie,
the nicest gentleman I ever spoke to, was shot by
a cannon ball through the hip, the man in the rear
of him through the abdomen. Capt. Currie died.
We had altogether only three killed and seven
wounded, besides one missing... Other regiments
did not have such good luck, for a whole.section of
the 64th were blown away by round shot. Thera
are many missing of the other regiments.
" At Cawepore, a cookboy, who was with the G
Company, by some means escaped ; being a Ben-
galee of course he could mix with the remainder of
his class without detection. lie is but a lad ;be
told us that Mr. Saunders was nailed down, hands,
feet, acid knees ; that these barbarians the first day
cut of 11;s feet and ears and nos-, and sp left him
until the next day, when some other pieces were
cut off him, and he died. He had killed six men,
and would have shot Nana S thib also, that terri-
rihle ruffian, but his revolver did not go off.
Poor .Gildea shot five, and when there were but a
few of ours left with him to defend their barricade,
the insurgents sent to say that as there were so few
of them, and they did not want any more bother,
they would provide them with boats and permit
them to pass unmolested. Our men were glad to
accede, but when in the centre of the river they
were fired upon with cannon, and their boat sunk.
Many a widow and orphan of the E and G com-
panies are left. I saw the place our men defended
at Cawnpore, it was completely battered and
riddled ; how they managed to hold it I can't make
out. . There is a well there, and a most disgusting
sight it presents. I hear 160 European people were
thrown into it naked.
" One of the insurgent collectors took two of our
lades for his own private ends ; but I bad the
pleasure of laughing in his countenance as he swung
in front of our camp. He was an ugly-looking
scoundrel. These lad.• 3 had; of course, been killed,
before we an ive L
" As for hanging, it is nothing, it is quite a com-
mon thing to have a few swung up every thy ; the
least thing will do it. We have a provost marshal
and his staff here, -and they woul I harg a European
if they found Lim plundering, or give him a dozen
on the spot if they found him half-a-mile from his
camp ; but as for a native the least thing is suffi-
cent to hang him. We have had one European
hung ; but they are very lath to,do anything to the
'Europeans. The fellows missing I hear bad such a
lot of rupees that they could not keep up, and they
were too greedy to throw them .away. Cawnpore
was full of all kinds of liquor, from champagne to
bo' t'ed beer, and our fellows used it too fceely.
The authorities were eeragel at this.
"Things are all done suddenly here, and we, the
78:h Highlanders and 64th, were ordered acrossthe
river to proceed to Lucknow. It took five days
bef re all was over and ready to move. Here it
rained almost incessantly, and my pirty, which
was the last, had no shelter, for on a march like
ours no tents are brought, so some of the men
had to wander about all eight in the rain,
without a roof to shelter them ; the consequence
was that a good many took the cramps and died,
Sergeant-Major B nrynge ameng the rest. Lambert
is now sergeant-major.
" Well, we at last marched for Lucknow, and the
first rec ption we got after marching a few miles
was a few round shot, which was kept up very
quickly, for the eneny were wider excellent cover;
we marched up among trees, deployed, and lay
down. Our guns commenced to play ;as they ad-
vanced we did also, to cover their, deploying and
lying down to prevent the balls hitting us. Our
skirmishers rushed into the entrenchment and
lrovUthem out; but then there was a fortified vil-
lage, we had to rush -into that, and such shooting
you 'cannot dream of ! You would see one of our
men going quietly round a corner with a quick eye ;
the first to see shot the other. The whole of the
houses hid to Le searched in this manner, and the
village, when thought cleared, set on fire ; but.
after all, as I passed the village carrying the Queen's
colour, a lot of balls whistled past me, and several

men were shot. Adjutant
.Brown received two
wounds here, one 'in the arm, the other in the leg,
both only flesh wounds. You Would ppcir
fellows shot, some in the .faceand necki
others legs
broken, .men helping them along with the damaged
leg trailing along the gronnd.
"After they were driven through the village they
attacked us in the open plain ; but our guns soon.
made them 'leave that,' so they skirted. as hard as
they could. They had a great many cavalry; .we
have.nonei except some infantry men froei all regi-
ments, who have been formed into two squadrons ;-
also a squadron of gentlemen volunteers.
" Well, having beaten them thus far, and having
taken 15 of their guns, and it being then half-pa=t
11 in the day, we rested in the open plain in the
burning sun to get a glass of grog and s trie break-
fast. We stopper' -2i hours, and proceeded
to a fortified town some miles away. The enemy,
of course, opened fire on us, and there being no
trees to shelter' the fortification our artillery. plaYed
splendidly. We deploYed, and advance-3, and lay
down, taking our. time from the artillery, .seat out
skirmishers and a regiment, all of which closed_ on
the town and broke into the plaice, the other regi-
ments closing and following. Thera was a good
deal of sheoting inside. At last it terminated, and
the British mare ed. in triumphant.. It was then
nearly 6 in the evening, so the whole day, you may
say, we had been fighting, and the whole day. we
had beau in paddy fields up to our hips in water,
which was a good thing for us in the he it.
" We thought that all the people had left the
total ; but no such thing: We lay in flout of a

and the insurgents were firing on them all night.
" Our muskets are useless compared with the
Enfield rifle, and it was the regiments who were in
possession of these that' did nearly all the business ;
however, the skirmishers,of_any vgi inept captured
two guns. We cape ured four guns in the town,
leaving us 19 altogether ; the enemy only carried
off one.
" I slept in the field, in the open air, all night
under the piles of arms and no 'rouse,' the signal
to ina•ch, -having sounded, I slept until half-past 5.
I was tired, especially having -had to march. with
my bad heel. We stopped in the sun until twelve
o'clock that day, and were' then ordered into. the
town. We were glad to gat but of the. sun, but no
sooner did we
.move than an order was issue l to
march that.evening itt 2. It was very hot; espe-
cially for us who had bees in the sun all day. Guess
our surprise when we found we were retires'
Yes, the General found he had only 1,201 men—
that, on an average, he had lest, between death,
men going sick, and killed and wounded, .50 .incn
per day—he could not venture to Luclino.w with
thissmall force and, probably, simi!ardaly decrease
of men, and, although all were diTirite ;, I think
he has acted wisely. We marched about seven
miles and yesterday about seven -more to this .vil-
lage, which is about five miles froin the river which
separates us from Cawnpore. We may be here for
a fortnight waiting for reinforcements. I aai glad
of the rest, and those native huts which I once de-
spised, lam glad to occupy nos*. I don't know
the name of the village we are in now. It is dark.'

The follow4ng letter from a.lady shows the effec

of the disaster at Dinapore
" Raneegunge, Aug. 7.
" The last I wrote was dated from C.dcutta.. We
returned to this place three weeks age,, as it was
thought quite safe when the native troops were or-
dered away, but now I regret to .aythat we are all
in a tumult of confusion ; the troops not above 80
miles. from this, and the Berhampora natives having
risen, we are overwhelmed with refugees from All
places. Some of the poor creatures haVe come with-
out a thing but what they have on, and I am
obliged to give them all changes of
.clothes for a
time. I think we have not had less than 65 or 70
'people, and more are still coming , Many came
riding in for•7o. miles on one horse, and one gentle-
man without a.knidle—a doctor and two others in
nothing but their nightclothes, as they ,started
while the wretches were firing into their bungalows.
Charles had to lend th,:m.clothes to go down to
Calcutta in.
" We have ‘a company of the Siks 'here, who haVe
all along fought for us, teing quite a-different caste
and race to the mutineers ; but still I feel afraid of
them, and would be delighted to see the faces of
English -soldiers ; they say some aro coming up by
to., •-O o-tnori.ow. -
" This is an important station, as the Coal nines
are here, and communication is kept up with the
Grand Trunkroad, which leads from this to all the
North-West stations. -
" Three regiments of native.. troops made their
escape from Dinapore the other day through the im-
becility of General Lloyd, commanding the station.
He had Orders to disarm them, and had a European
regiment and artillery for the purpose, and had
every opportunity of doing it, as one European re-
giment is at all times equal to two or three of those
cowards,. who are only brave when murdering de-
fenceless women and children ; besides he had can-
non placed along their lines and had only the order
to give, and the English would have fired into them
and been the means of saving many lives and a
great deal of Government treasure. The fellows got
away, as General Lloyd told them in the morning
that they were expected to give up their arms by 4
p.m., giving them 6 hours to think of it ; in the,
meantime they got away, and the Europeans went]
after them, but not far, as th,..y had to protect the
station. It is a very important place. Well, the Se-
poys are all in the neighbourhood of Dinapore
they went and released many hundred prisoners.
and murdered a Dr. Garner, his wife,• and child:
while they -were out for a drive. The youngest
child of two years was saved by the servants.. The;
people came rushing down here as fast as they
could. The poor missionaries with their families
came in last night, some in, palxies, some in litters,.
and many on foot and wet through. They went to
the magistrate's, as we had not a room empty. We
had 3 and 4iu a room, and many in the dining
room, but most of them have gone down by rail t)-
day. Charles is going to send some of my furniture
down and will write to a friend to look out for room,
for me again in Calcutta. If tha troops don't ar:
rive soon the whole country will be taken by the
natives, and that is - the truth. You must have
heard of the Cawnpore massacre. Out of 500 or 700,
I don't' know exactly, only three or four escaped;
the whole station burnt to the ground, and the men,
women, and children cut up and thrown down the
large well which they have • there. Many bodies
were fOund in the streets ; but the horrors of thst
are too shocking to dwell upon.. Is this not enough
to make me tremble ? which I do, an I, in truth, I
am almost in a fever of excitement. May the Al-
mighty help us. And poor Charl s can't leave his
situation. I shall not fear so much if the English
soldiers c_me up." ,

THE 73D BENGAL NATIVE INFANTRY.
The following is an extract from a letter wh, eh
will be interesting to so:ne of our readers. The
regiment to which the writer belongs is the 73d
Bengal Native Infantry, oue of the very fow that
hove not yet mutinied. It should b i aided that
there are no European troops in the neighbourhood
of the station

" Jelpigoree, July 31.
" We have been a little unsealed lately in con
sequence of a discovery that there were some 12 or
,15 men in the regiment who were disposed to
mutiny,- and, if possible, .to kill their officers. We
at once arrested the ringleaders, tried them by
court-martial, and sent them to "the gaol heavily
ironed. The putting on of irons is almost the
great,st iud'gnity which can be offered ti a high
caste Sepoy, so we naturally felt anxious, during at.d
after the process. However, all. went smoothly,
and they are now on their way to Cakut.a. After
this we breathed a little more freely, but the sequel
will show how nearly we brought the storm on our
own heads. A day or two atter information was
brought us by a faithful Sepoy that two men had
, been to him, regretting that they could not get up
a party to attack the, offieers at mess ; they ex-
pressed themselves as ready to do so if they could
induce more to join theM. Oar informant promised
ro join them. The ntxt. day they got their patty
augmented to six, and made their arrangements for
that very evening ; _they were to have a boat wait-
ing on the river, Which runs. dose under the mess-
house, to make a dash at the officers while at din-
ner, jump into the boat, and escape into Bhotan.
They dared not trust themselves on this side, as
the regiment would not join them. We heard all
this just as we were going to a grind extertainment
g;ven by our regiment to the Irregular Cavalry.
We thonght it better to go, and we therefore went.
We remained three hours in the midst of them
all, kuowing that some few were contemplating
our murder in the evening. Up to this time we
had had no opportunity of consulting as to whatwas
to be done ; in fact nothing was settled ti'l I
mounted my horse, and wentd)wn to the lines in
a tremendous storm of lain. I had the whole patty
arrested. They were taken up by Sepeys, guarded
by them all night, and packed off by them in a
boat next morning for Calcutta.
"'This seems to prove fully that we may rely on
the regiment as a body'; they never would have
