Strict ordeis were given that the King and members of the royal family were to be taken pri- soners if possible.

The engineers, carrying lad- ders, crept to the front. Nicholson placed a hand on Jones's shoulder. “Are you ready?” he asked, with th g quiet confidence in the success of his self-imposed mission that caused all men to trust in him implicitly. “Yes,” answered Jones. Nicholson turned to Malcolm and two others of his aides. “Tell the gunners to cease fire.“ 'he Brigadier Longfield, commanding the reserve, had to follow and support Nicholson.

Instantly Akhab Khan. who command- ed in that quarter of the city, claimed n ”a AL-___ 0... They were not, but the over-caution against which Nicholson had railed for months again betrayed itself in the failure of the second column to capture the Lahore Gate when that vital position lay at its mercy. Auda- city, ever excellent in war, is sound as a proposition in Euclid in Opera tions against Asiatics. Then, as if the story of Delhi were to serve as a microcosm of fortune’s smiles and frowns in human affairs, the victorious career of the British columns received a serious, almost a mortal check. The mutineers were in full retreat, terror-stricken and dis- mayed. Thousands were already crossing the bridge of boats when the word went round that the Feringhis were beaten. Thus far a magnificent success had been achieved. It was carried further, almost perfected, by the splendid self- sacrifice displayed by the six who had promised to blow open the Cashmere Gate. To this day their names are ? lazoned on a tablet between its two 'archesâ€"“Lieutenants Home and Sal- keld of the Engineers, Bugler Haw- thorne of the 52nd and Sergeants Car- michael, Smith and Burgess of the Bengal Sappers.” Smith and Haw- thorne lived to wear the Victoria Crosses awarded for their feat.

He was not believed. Twice already had he brought that cheering message and events had falsi- fied his news. Winifred, a worn and pallid Wini- fred by this time, sought him and asked for tidings of Malcolm He had none. There was a rumor that Delhi had fallen, and an officer had told him that there was a Major Malcolm r on Nicholson’s staff. That was all. Not a letter, not a sign, came to re- assure the heart~broken girl, so the joy of Havelock’s arrival was dimmed for her by the uncertainty that ob- tained inregard to her lover’s fate. Then the ‘dreadfud waiting began“ again.
