roof Of the British Residence ut Cabu was com
manded by other houses and was consequently
untenable by the bescgcd, who made trench
outside. At about one o'clock in the after
noon on the day of the massacre Major
Cavagnari received wound from rico
chetting bullet on his forehead. Mr.
Jenkyns, Major Cavagnaris assistant who
arrived ut the Rcsidency during the attack,
wrote to the Amccr for help and the Amccr's
reply was-"God will. l am making arrange

cavagnari had met with the same reply. Mr.
Jenkyns wrote again when Major Cavagnar
was wounded, but the bearer of the letter was
cut to pieces by the mutinccrs. The trooper
then started, but he was disarmed and impris-
