EXCURSIONS BUSENESS EDUCATION TO N0 CHANGE OF CARS On the 15th a sharp fight gaVe the British possession of the village of Aong, The position was dearly won, for the gallant Renaud fell there, mor- tally wounded. The menwere about to Prepare their breakfast after the batlte when news came that the enemy, strongly reinforced from Cawnpore, were preparing to blow up a bridge over the :‘andoo Nuddee, an unford- able tributary of the Ganges, six miles ahead. Havelock called for a special effort, the troops responded without a murmur, and advanced through dense groves of mango trees until they came under fire. For the second time tha day they hurled themselves on the rebels, drove them headlong out of a Well-chosen position, and saved the L_n n..- Now he learned that 'i‘antia Topi was the rider and it was thus he dis- covered that Nana Sahib was directing the operations from CaW,npore as Tantia Topi was his favorite lieuten- ant, Whereas it was believed previous- ly that the Brahmin usurper would lead his hosts to take part in the siege of Lucknow 1: Owing to his knowledge of the ver- nacular, he managed to pick up a bit of useful information while question- ing a name on this matter. On the battle-field he came across a state elephant which had been shot through the body by one of Maude’s nine- pounders. The manner of the beast’s death was remarkableâ€"it is not often that an elephant is bowled over by a cannon ball like a rabbit by a bullet from a small calibre rifleâ€"and its trappings betokened that it had car- ried a person of importance. That evening Malcolm witnessed the plundering of Fattehpore, which was permitted in retribution for its recent rebellion. The town lay on the main road, which, at this point, was re- moved from the river by many miles, else he would have ridden to the ghat and sent a message to Hossein Beg in order to make sure of the safety of the friendly ryot. No wonder Havelock wrote to his wife: “One of the prayers oft repeat- ed since my school-days has been answered. and I have lived to command in a successful action. . . But away with vain glory! Thanks be to God who gave me the victory.” guns and some valuable stores were captured, and. greatest marvel in a day of marvels, not one British 801- dier had fallen! Without giving the enemy’s cavalry time to recover from their surprise, Havelock threw forward his infantry, Captain Maude, of the Royal Artil- lery, rushed his six guns to a point- blaiik range, there was a short and sharp fight, and the rebels broke.‘ They were chased through and out of the town of Fattehpore. All their At last, on the 12th of August, the main body overtook Renaud, whose patrols were stopped by a large force of rebels entrenched in a village four miles south of Fattehpore. The junc- tion took place at one o’clock in the morning. At daybreak, Havelock sent Colonel Ty,tler, with the eighteen vol- unteer horse. to reconnoitre. The enemy’s cavalry, thinking they had only Renaud’s tiny detachment to deal with, charged across the plain, to find the whole twelve hundred drawn up to receive them. Struck with a sudden fear, the white-coated tr00pers reined in their horses. This was the first real check Nana Sahib had received. It was typical of the new order. The flood-tide of mufiny had met its bar- rier rock. Thenceforth, it ebbed, though it raged madly for a while in the effort to sweep away the obstruc- tion. These details should be appreciated before it is possible to understand the supra-miraculous campaign Havelockl conducted. For five days the expedi-J tion tramped north in the rain and heat, through a land given over to; dead men, vultures and carnivorous animals. Renaud and Spurgin had made no prisoners. They did not slay wantonly, but the slightest shadow of: suspicion falling on any man meant’ the short shrift of a rope and the nearest tree. 4 Now, Highland regiments had fought in India for many a year before the Mutiny, and the kilt was no'new thing ii.‘ native eyes. The phrase, therefore, is significant. It crystallizes the legend that went roundâ€"that an army of savage English was marching from Allahabad, and that its most ferocious corps was dressed in skirts, the men having sworn never to ‘assume male clothing until they had avenged their murdered women-folk. It is a matter of history how Have- lock marched his little army of twelve hundred men along the Grand Trunk Road from Allahabad. He led a thou- sand British soldiers, drawn from the 64th, 84th, and 78th Foot, and the let Madras Fusiliers. Captain Brasyer brought 130 loyal Sikhs to the col- umn: there were six small guns, and eighteen volunteer cavalry. The Men Who Wore Skirts That was what the rebels called the Toth,â€"-“the men who wore skirts.” There could be no better proof that the sepoys and their helpers were well aware that they had outraged all the laws of war and humanity by their excesses, and there was a further rea- son why the garb of old Gaul was more dreaded throughout India than other British uniform during the au- tumn and cold weather of 1857. Not many Europeans knew it until long afterwards, but the natives knew, and told the story with bated breath, and one British officer knew, for he~was with the Seaforth Highlanders in Cawnpore when they took (lire ven- geance for the Well. THE RE!) YEAR A Siary of the indian Mutiny Copyrtuht by McLeod Allen LOUIS TRACY CHAPTER XIII. “Huzoor,” said Chumru, “this is Un- gud, Kumpani pinsin (a pensioner of the Company), and he would have speech with the Presence.” “Speak, then, and quickly, for I have occupation,” said Malcolm. But he fastened carefully enough to Ungud's words. for the man coollyjltonosed to no longer “Ali Khan,” the swashbuck- ler, but a white-robed domestic, though no change of attire could rob him of the truculent aspect that was the gift of nature. Beside Chumru stood another Mo- Hammedan, an elderly man, Who xtraightened himself under the sahib’s aye and brought up his right hand in a. smart military salute. Meanwhile Neill brought a few more troops from Allahabad, and Havelock threw the greater portion of his army across the Ganges. Owing to the diffi- culy of obtaining boats and skilled boatment, this was a slow and danger- ous undertaking. It took five days to ferry nine hundred men to the Oudh side, but Lawrence had said that the Residency could only hold out fourteen days. and come what might, the effort must be made to relieve him. On the 20th while Malcolm‘ was ac. cupied \ith some .details of transport, Chumru ca_n*_.<g_o__1_nm. The bearer was Next morning his splendid vitality reasserted itself. He advanced to- wards Bithoor and took up a strong position in case Nana Sahib might attempt to recover the city. But that arch-fiend had been deserted by the majority of his followers, and he was babbling of suicide to his fellow Brah- “If the worst comes to the worst we can but die with our swords in our hands.” with the infamy of the Well, was hang. ed on a gallows erected in the com- pound, but not until he had cleaned with his tongue the allotted square of blood-stained cement that formed the floor of- the house. Cawnpore, on the 17th, was indeed a city of dreadful night. The: fierce exultation of successful warefare was gone. The streets were empty save for prowling dogs, pigs, and venture- some wild beasts. No sound was heard in the British encampment except the melancholy plaint of the pipes mourn- ing for the dead, during the interment of those who had fallen. Even the unconquerable Havelock said to his son, as they and the officers of the staff sat at dinner: “One life for every hair before the sun sets,” he said quietly. And that was all, but there are old men yet alive in Cawnpore who remember how the Highlanders raged through the streets that evening like the wrath of Heaven. General Neill, who came later and assumed the role of magistrate, showed neither pity nor mercy. Every man who €911 into his hands, and who was cannected in the slightest degree camipcre was now only twenty- three miles distant. With the fickle- uess of the rainy season the sky had cleared, and the sun beat down on the British force with a fury that had not been experienced before that year,. though the hot weather of 1857 was noted for its exceedingly high temper- atures. The elements seemed to have joined with man to try and stop the advance, but neither Indian sun nor ndian sepoy could restrain that terri- ble host. Dogged and uncomplaining, animated rather by the feelings of the .‘nfuriated tigress seeking reprisals for 'zer claim cubs than by the sentiments of soldiers engaged in an ordinary x-atnpaign, they pressed on, until six- ‘een miles of that sun-scorched road ‘vere covered. He removed his bonnet with the solemnity of a man who is in the pre- sence of God and death. Passing down the ranks he gave a lock of the hair to each soldier. Malcolm was with them, and he saw a sergeant enter the blood-stained dwelling, while the men lined up in front of the Well in an awed silence. The sergeant returned. His brick-red face had paled to an ashen tint. In his hand he carried the long, rich strands of a woman’s hair, strands that had been hacked off some un- happy Englishwoman’s head by Nana Sahib’s butchers. But the battle was not won until one of those strange incidents happened that distinguish the Mutiny from all other wars. It must never be forgot- ten that the sepoys had received their training from British officers. Their words of command, methods of fight- ing, even their uniforms, were based on European models. They had regimental bands, too, and the tunes in their repertoire were those in vogue in Britain, for native music does not lend itself to military purposes. The'musicians, of course, were profoundly ignorant of the names or significance of the melodies they had been taught to play. This fourth and greatest victory was a costly one to the British, but it left their ardor undiminished, their recli- less courage intensified. On the next day they flung themselves against the remnant of the Nana’s army that still tried to bar the way into the city. Vague rumors had reached the men of the dreadful tragedy enacted on the 15th. They refused to credit them. None but maniacs would murder help- less women and children in the belief that the crime would hinder the ad- vance of their rescuers. So they crushed, tore, beat a path through the suburbs, until the leading company of Highlanders reached the Bibigarh, the House of the Woman. Then Havelock commanded a halt in 1 grove of trees, and two level-headed .‘T‘-p0}'S, deserters from Nana Sahib’s army, came and told the British Gen- ‘z'al that the Nana had brought five ‘rtovsanil Ireu out of Cawnpore to do battle for his tottering dynasty. It ms in vain. Though he displayed some tactical skill, placed his men yell, and did not hesitate to come un- lcr fire in person, he was out-general- 2d by a flank march and sent flying to Bithoor, there to curse his fate, be- fuddle his wits with brandy, and threaten to drown himself in the Ganges. Hence, when Nana Sahib rallied his men in a village, Havelock called on the Highlanders and 64th to take it, and the two regiments entered into a gallant race forâ€" the position, while the Highland pipers struck up an inSpiring pibroch. Not to be outdone, a sepoy band responded with “The Campbells are Coming!” And this, of all airs, to the Macken- zies! It was chance, of course, but It gglcled gall to the venom of the 78th. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Within a minute the newcomer was admitted. It was Ungud, who had run the gauntlet of the enemy’s pickets and who now triumphantly produced Havelock’s letter to “Larrence-sahib Bahadur.” Alas, Henry Lawrence was dead, but Brigadier Inglis, who suc- ceeded him in the command, now learnt that Havelock had defeated Nana Sahib, occupied Cawnpore, and was advancing to the relief of Luck- When the moon rose on the night of the 21st a sharp-eyed sentry saw a man creeping across the broken ground in front of the Bailey Guard. He raised his rifle, but his orders were to challenge anyone who approached thus secretly, lest, perchance, a mes- senger fi’om some relieving force might be slain by error. “Who goes there?” he cried. “A friend,” was the answer, but the rest of the stranger’s words showed that he was a native. “You st0p where you are,” he com- manded, bidding a comrade summon an officer, “or someone who can talk the lingo.” and it cast down the hopes of the mutineers to a corresponding degree; because their moral inferiority was proved beyond dispute. Like all Asia- tics, they had not dared to press on in the face of death. With one whole- hearted rush those three thousand fighters could have swarmed into the Residency against all the efforts of the few Europeans and natives who resisted them. But that rush was never made by the assailants as a mass. Not once in the history of the Mutiny did the sepoys adopt the "do or die” method that characterized the British troups in nearly every action of the campaign. There was much jubilation among the garrison at this outcome of the long-expected and dreaded attack. It added to their spirit of self-reliance, He was shot by a man of the 32nd, and his body formed the lowermost layer of a causeway of corpses that «mm choked the ditch. But the non- centrated fire OI the defenders C‘necxee this most audacious of the many as- saults delivered during four hours fighting. At two o’clock the attack slackened and died away.

The absence of native spies from either Cawnpore or Lucknow proved that the rebels killed, and. probably tortured all who attempted to run the gauntlet of their investing lines. Yet Ungud was firm in his offer, so Mal- colm brought him to Havelock and the general at once wrote and gave him a letter to Lawrence, the news of the great Commissiner’s death not having reached the relieving force. They came on with magnificent courage. They actually succeeded in planting scaling-ladders across the breach, and their leader, a fierce-look- ing cavalry rissaldar, leaped into the ditch and stood there, right in front of the Cawnpore battery, waving a green standard to encourage his fol- lowers. Frank seized the Opportunity to write a few lines to Winifred. He was charged with the care of Ungud as far as the nearest river ghat, and he scrib- ‘iled the following as he rode thither: They waited in grim silence, those war-worn soldiers of the Queen. The signal for a furious struggle” was given in dramatic fashion. A mine exploded, a large section of the de- fending wall crumbled into ruins, a hundred guns belched forth a perfect hail of round shot, sharpshooters sta- tioned in the neighboring houses fired their muskets as rapidly as they could lift them from piles of loaded weapons at their command, and, under cover of this fusillade, some three thousand rebels advanced to the attack. I reached Allahabad on the 4th, thanks wholly to your loving thought in sending Chumru after me, for I was a prisoner in the hands of a fanatical moulvie when Chumru came to my as- sistance. He saved my life there, and his quick-witted devotion was shown in many other instances during a most exciting journey. My thoughts are al- ways with you, dear one, and I offer many a prayer to the Most High that you may retain your health and spirits amid the horrors that surround you. Be confident, dear heart, and bid your uncle tell his comrades of the garrison that we mean to cut our way to your rescue through all opposition. By Havelock’s order, a light, swift boat was placed at Ungud’s disposal, and Malcolm supplied him with plenty of money for horses and bribes on the road, while, in the event of success, he would be liberally rewarded after- wards. They gave the alarm and every man rushed to the walls. Even the sick and wounded left their beds. Men with the fire of fever in their eyes, men with bandanged limbs and scarce able to crawl asked for muskets and lined up alongside their yet unscathed comrades. My Dearest Winifred: If this note is safely delivered, you fill know that Sir Henry Havelock, at he head of a strong force, is on his vay to relieve Lucknow. I am with 11m, as major on the staff. The bearer will endeavor to return with a reply to the general. Perhaps you may be able to send a line with him. In any event, I trust he Will see you, and that wil bring joy to my soul when I hear of it. At ten o’clock in the morning the bombardment suddenly ceased. The garrison sentries noted an unusual gathering of the enemy’s forces in the streets and open spaces that confront- ed the Bailey Guard and the other main posts on the city side. Now it chanced that on the 20th, about the very hour Ungud set out on his daring mission, the Moulvie of. Fyzabad managed to goad his co-relié gionists into a determined assault on the Residency.
