drowned in the roar of the swollen tor rent rushing past our rear, and was evil dently unheard by the Sepoys, who were gathered round their fires, smok- ing, eating and sleeping in perfect se- curity, their arms lying about in every direction. Gradually the darkness cleared away, and the first streak of light appeared on the horizon. Then, the cry to prayer ringing through the encampment. all the followers of the Prophet, kneeling down on their prayer carpets, performed their morning devo- begin the day with fresh butehery.
 "Let their accursed priests be first brought up," was the order by the Multi, in obedience to which Chasuble and Calvin Longwynd were united and dragged before him. "You have had full time for epentance-now, once for all, will you believe or will you die ?" Before either of them could answer him wounded Sowar dashed into the midst of the party, and, without pulling up his steaming horse, shouted out Ride for your lives-the Sahib log are closed behind !" At the sound of that dreaded name a panic seized all the Sowars, who rushed pell- nell to their horses, while the infantrymen caught up their arms and crowded together, doubtful whether to fight or fly. The Multi alone re- mained firm and collected. Above the tumult his voice rang out clear and high: "Stand firm, behevers-victory or paradise !" But his words fell on needless ears, for even as they were uttered dozen or more Sowars dashed through in headiong flight, riding down every one who stood in their way, and throwing the whole force into hopeless confusion. A wild stampede ensued as the sound of calvary at full gallop drew nearer and a crowd of Sowars rode past, spurring for dear life. Only the Multi and three grizzled old troopers remained calm and unmoved, even when the ring ing cheer of our lancers foretold their doom. 1.-The gates of paradise are opening wide; the Prophet himself heckons to us Forward forward die like true Ghazis 1" cried the Mufti With desperate courage the lunatics' charged furiously on the advancing squadron, cut down the Muior and threw them selves on the line of lancers, while the Multi sprang forward, stabbed Chasuble to the heart, and was in the act of strik- ing at the missionary when lance driven home by strong arm pierced him through and through so the Christian martyr and the Mussulman fell side by side, and each went to his own place.
 In few moments we were unbound and safe. Cur first thought was of our fallen friends; Chasuble and St. Hill were past all help, but Stubbs still | t,roo I1,al ar1 faxu IrO,1o of l,yo n 1 y from a troopers flask gave him moment ary strength. As we raised his head he tried to speak, and, leaning over him 1 heard whisper, "Is he alive? did my best, tell her." It was his last effort and moment he was with the rival for whom he had died. His last mes sage was never delivered, for Miss Bel had been massaered, together with tht whole of tue garrison except our smal party A native servant who escaped and came into camp some days after
 eard reported that she had been shot b, n father to save her from falling int' the hands of tue mutineeFs, but whethe this were true or not We never knew fo certain.
 Our rescuers proved to be the advanct guard of Adtirs column, which, having been reinforced after their repulse ol Sunday, had made forced march b, night through thunder, lightning an' rain, and taking the mutineers entirel
 by surprise with an unfordabie river i
 their rear, routed them with such
 slaughter as Is remembered to this da

 stormy night the Christians were mas
