all klohis rlsbvd hunte by s an incident of the indian mutiny ipablljirf by ipedil mrrangemjot with th pobusber from dre sheess ci ckmbtrfr journal many as were the hairbreadth scapes from musacre daring the iadian mutiny of 185758 there are few which surpass the closeness of the shave 1 then had for my life i had been a sergeant in the bengal horse artillery than which i believe better corps never existed 1 1 was then an overseer of public works at jnansi in central india i rode like a centaur and if there was a thing i loved it was riding a horse that was a good jumper such a one i lnckily had fhen or i should not be alive to tell this hough the first outbreak of the mutiny at meernt oame like a clap of thunder oat of a clear sky so utterly unexpected was it by the europeans yet after the first explo sion all who had eyes to see perceived that other local outbreaks were only a matter of time and detail so ft was at jhansi whloh was garrisoned by a regiment of native in fantry all except the infatuated officers of that regiment knew that the soldiers were only awaiting news of some further success to their cause to join their brothers- in arms the officers persuaded themselves that their regiment at least was loyal and lived in misplaced confidence i was a young bachelor and therefore less anxious than i should have been if i had a family to look after and save i could not of course go away because my duty required my presence in j harm and day by day as rumours of more and more extensive defections reached our ears i saw more clearly that when mu tiny broke out at jhansl it would be dim cult indeed for the few europeans to escape to any of those strongholds few and far be tween where the presence of european troops give europeans a chance of present safety a base for future struggles for sup their simple gratitude for the little indeed nothing more than j astice and some kind ness of manner and word that i had don for them you have bees kind to us they said you have been our father and oar mother mat bap and we will do all we can for you and they did a great deal for five day i lay hid in their huts for the native soldiers or sepoys had scattered themselves over the country pursuing the few europ cans who had escaped the massacre at jhansl every one of them ex2ob myself fell into their hands during their savage hunt and was ruthlessly murdered in cold blwd the hunters returned to jhansl but many were still about patrolling the countryside to pick up any- straggling european wending his way from some scene of massacre towards the few stations where european life was still safe tnc bricklayers first gave a smear here ana there with day to my horse and his saddle trailed his bridle on the ground and turning his face howeward gave him a good out of the whip he went off and i never saw him again they left me alone in the hat and went about their own affairs as if nothing unusual had occurred unleavened oakes the wellknown chapattui or wheat- cakes and milk was all that they could get forme their own food beoause to have sought for better fare would have excited suspicion on the evening of the fifth day they told me i had better start as the sepoys had returned from their hunt they got some berries snd with their juice they rub bed my face and body and hair and ohanged my rather florid complexion into one of gen uine dusky indian hue a suit of rough remacy with the mutinous natives jhanai workmans clothes trousers and bhort ahst was surrounded with disaffection and far from help it was a bright morning in june was a after finishing a few eggs and toast which with ceffee makes the indian chcta hazree small breakfast i start ed on horse back on my daily tour of inspecting the buildincs under construction or repair i had a huntingwhip in my hand and a few rupees in my pooket it was very early i just barely noticed that my servants in india they are all men sere grouped together as i left the gate instead of being at work and that unusual silence and quiet reigned in the bazaar or line of shops through which i passed the bugles had sounded for morning parade before i started from home and the native infantry regiment was already at its drill as i passed the pirade ground i soon met my super ior officer the executive engineer received his orders for the day and went about my work very few of the workmer had put in an appearance and even these were not at work but seemed evidently to be expeoting some event on my mgingthem to work they grinned in silence and then began handling their tools but very listlessly my duty had taken me far away from the par ade ground and luckily for myself into quite the opposite part of the station as we call the garrison towns in india i heard a roll of musketry firing but that was no unusual sound in a military sta tion noralarmingto amilitaryman itdidnot at all attraot my attention but that roll was followed up by a succession of solitary shots at irregular intervals and these i knew formed no possible part of the evolutions of a regiment at drill my heart stood still tor a moment the long anticipated time had come the men had mutinied and were shooting their european officers just then a mounted officer rushed by me urgiuf his horse to raoing bnoed and as he passed he called on me to dae for my life away we wont and he told me nearly every officer had been killed some hy the first volley and others by the dropping fire wo gal loped on along the road not recking whith er suddenly some soldiers appeared at a distance and pointed their muskets at us to pass them was impossible we turned sharp to one tide and put our hones to the low wall and fence that edged the road my horse rose and cleared it in splendid style bnt the effioers heavier charger foil with him i dismounted to help him but ho lay stunned end unconscious tno bullets of tho soldiers were falling around ns i could do him no good and to linger was but to lose my own lite too i mount ed again and continued my flight clearing evory hedge fence and ditch on my way across country- many a shot was fired at j me but luckily neither i nor my horse was hit in a fo minutss i was one of sight of my pursuers and safe for tho momont 1 checked my horso to gain him timo to breathe and myself to tkink what iahould do i found that i was near the road that led to gwalior and not far from some brlok fields which were under my supervision of course i know tho men engaged chore is was a question whether they would or would not turn against me but i trusted to my popu larity with them for one thing and for an other to the swiftness of my horse it was indeed necessary for me to seek some shelter for the day j for a summer sun in india very rapidly becomes too hot for european com fort or safety my only ohauce was to con tlnuemy flight at night j i therefore rode in- to the brickfields i found bnt five men at work they had all heard the firing had guessed what it meant and the others had gone to hear and see what had resulted my men expressed their joy to see me un hurt and urged me to tako refuge with them for a while and to continue my sight afterwards i dismounted therefore and was taken into one of their huts then we all sat down and discussed tho situation no one they said will oome to look for europeans in our hnts for we are too poor and miserable to be thought of or suspected of harbouring you but your horse will betray ns if he is seen about here they will of course search the hnts bjsldes said another you cannot expect to escapo on horseback for nnder existing circumstances that would be too vonsplouotts a mode of travelling especially stheogluh saddle and bridle your only chance sir said a thirdis to travel by night and on fot in order to b get to gwalior unobserved i told thorn i was entirely in their hands and that i trusted to their goodness for my chance of escape even with the sense 8 of the imminent danger in whloh i was plac ed i had tine to observe with satufaotiop were pnt on me a turban was tied on my head a chuddar sheet or mantle of cotton was thrown over my shoulders and my stockings and boots were replaced by a pair of old native shoes they refused my offer of the few rupees i had about me but tying them in a rag they tucked them into my waistband after dusk they conducted me a couple of miles on the g bailor road and bade me farewell i have often heard europeans say that there la no word in the indian language for gratitude i do not know those poor bricklayers at anyrate showed me that the thing itself is not altogether absent from indian hearts how oan i express the senso of utter loneli ness which i felt when they had lett me 1 about seventy miles of a good straight road lay between me and the friendly haven sindhlas camp at gwalior for which i was bound lint i knew that not a friendly soul lived between i could trust no one on the way i must avoid all contact with the natives lie hid by day and travel by night seek food and water by stealth and oarry my life in my hand the sole european wandering over miles of hostile ground under ordinary ciroumatanoeb 1 oonld easily have dono tho journey in four days but unaccustomed to the peculiar hindus tani shoes which i now wore i could not do my been what oreatures of habit we are to be sure i found that my progress was not rapid and blisters very soon began bo burn on my feet for want of stockings i had not done ten miles when the dawn ap peared and i began to look out for a hiding- place i went off the road and climbed into a large widespread tree and was well hidden in its leafy branches from this lofty perch i soanned the country round and to my great delight i saw a small pool of water not far off i was feeling very thirsty but still i was obliged to wait patiently in my friend ly tree for many a long hour because with the dawn travellers came up who had begun their journey early taking advantage of tho cool of the morning to reaoh choir first halt ing place for their midday meal before the sun became too hot it was nearly noon when seeing tho road quite cloir of enemies tor such to mo were all who passed i slipped from my tree and hastened to the pool uider other circum staucos i would not have touched such water with my fingers for it was a pnd frequented by oattlo and couso- q lmtly none of the purest or cleanest but now 1 i was agonising with thirst and it was a pleasure not easily understood by those who have never undergone such an ordeal to find tho all necessary water near at hand no matter in what state the forethought of my friendly bricklayers hud provided me with several wheatcakes enough to satisfy the wants of natnre for a few days at the edge of that pool under the blog sun i ate a few of my oakes and drank or tho filthy water which yet seemed neotar to my parch ed mouth tnen i hastened back to my tree lite in the evening when the short tropical twilight had been extinguished in the darkness of night i descended and wont forward again on my solitary way my feet were all the worse for my first days jonrnoy and i had had no sleep in that timo my progress was proportionately dower the dawn saw me hardly eight miles from my starting place a ruined edifice some distanee off the road was my shelter on this day and in the area en closed by its dilapidated garden wall i found a weli and luckily an old bucket and halfrotten rope lay near it again i ate of my oakes and i drank of tho well water and was able to have a good sound sleep in the friendly shelter of tho ruin tired in body and wearied in mind i slept long in deed and night had already fallen when i awoke alter more food and drink i start ed again muoh refreshed with my rest i travelled again all night and in spite of my sore feet i forced myself on and made good progress bnt the next morning found me in a sad predicament i could see no cover or shelter of any kind except a small clump of tall trees in the far distance ahead i made for it bnt with a heavy heart for i knew that it indicated the roadside well where travellers rest for their midday meal suoh i found it to be still i could do nothing else there was no other place to reit in perhaps also my suc cess so far had emboldened me to a little negligence i went np to the well had another feed on the last of my wheatcakes and a hearty drink from tho well i then retired to the farthest of tho trees and lay down at fall length on the ground ooverlng myself all over with my chnddur this was rehearsing what i intended to do when travellers came np for thus the native are axnstimed to take their short midday rest at first the coast was dear and i could lie at ease with my head uncovered l dared not trust myself to sleep very toon however travellers began to pass along the road sod many looked curiously at the lazy man who hid either overslept himself till too late in the morning or was beginning to sleep too long before noon they were however too intent on their own journey to mind me much and they went on it was not from them i expected trouble the crucial time came as noon approached the blzing sun shone in full glory and heat travellers began to drop in at the well i covered myself head and all with my mantle pretending to be asleep bnt caret ally noticing ever arrival among them to my horror i saw two sepoys armed with swords they in doe course began their meal chat ting freely and i lay quite still hoping that after food and rest they would proceed on their way leaving me once more at liberty to resume my journey unluckily the sun had begun to beat upon me yet i dared not move the mere f aot of my lying thus still and immovable made them suspect i was a corpse parhans ha has been poisoned said one or died of a snakebite during the night those cobras are so deadly said another he may have money on him suggested a third he evidently does net not hear us said a fourth let us go and see how matters stand slowly two of them approaohed me shook my shoulder and at length gently raised the chndder from my face at the first glance they sprang back shouting the word faranghi 1 european i jumped to my feet and in a moment i was surrounded by the entire group including the two sepoys with their swords now drawn at first i felt quite dazed for i could not comprehend what had so suddenly betrayed me bub on their pointing to my face and one of them producing a small pocket mirror suoh as native dandles often carry about 1 looked in the glass and saw a strange sight wh ile my blue eyes showed that i could not be a native i had also while drinking washed off tho berry juice from my lips and part of my face dis closing portions of a white skin which con victed me of being a european indeed it was useless to struggle or resist the band was too numerous and two had swords they seized me at once and dragged me nearer the well and my hands were tied behind my back with the bucket rope some were for killing me at once bnt the two sepoys greatly extolling their own prowess in having made me a prisoner said that i belonged to them and that they would take me on to jhansl where a reward was offered for every european brought in as they were armed no one disputed their argument and i was left to them after a while i was told by them to walk on between them i did so for re sistance nnder the circumstances would have been madness nor was 1 without hope that some nnforseen ohancs might yet en able me to esoape they were now after all only two to one because to avoid shar ing their expeoted reward they would not allow the others to travel with them after having walked several miles back towards jhansi without offoriug any re sistance or making any remark i saw with delight that they beoame lees suspicious and observant of me and my doings i gradually and cautiously tried the rope that bound my wrists luckily it had not been knotted with the skill of a jack- tar and i found after a little working that i could easily free my hands i was far too cautions to do so at once however i was determined to wait for a favourable chance that chance came much sooner than i expeoted the day was very hot and it was not long before we were all vory thirsty a little after four in the afternoon as we walked along one of them said i see a well a little off the road let us go and drink we had better hurry on to jhansi said the other it will not take long said the firit and we must take care that our prisonor does not die of thirst or of sua stroke to which these cursed europeans are so subject otherwise goodbye to our reward vary well said the other i have hoard it said that brandy causes sunstroke ond drinking water keeps it off he has acoompauied us very tamoly said one he must be a coward said tho othor they all are except when they are to gether i listened but said nothing and we went to the well some distance off the road oae of them uogirded his sword and put it down on the ground while he drew water from the well near it sat tho other sepoy his sword at his bolt waiting for his drink while i stood near him with my hands bohind my back now or never i baid to myself 1 quietly slipped my right hand from the loop that hold it to seizs tho sword on the ground and draw it was the work of an in stant the next the sitting soldier fell a corpse to the ground with his head almost severed from the neck with one blow of the sharply ground sword at tho noise of the attack the soldier who was drawing water turned round and for a moment was petrified at seeing his late prisoner free brandishing a naked sword and slay ing bis comrade recovering himself he rushed at mo with a shout but him also i slew with his own sword i was once more free and what is more i was now armed from my dead enemies i took their oh ipauks in india travellers generally carry some food with them to meet the not unfrcqiout catos of finding scanty supplies njc a soul was in sight i ato and drank and thanked g jd for my de liverance then i started onoe more iu the gwalior direction but i kept clear of the road i led the life of a nocturnal animal resting daring the day and hiding as i best might bnt daring the night pushing forward at my best speed towards gwalior when the soldiers chapattic wore done i satisfied the cravings of hunger by eating man goes from the trees or jl melons in the fields isor did i disdain the raw cobs of indian corn or in fact anything edible i could find never could i have believed in my old soldier days when we used to grum ble at our beer and beef and bread as suppli ed by the commissariat that i oonld ever have managed to get down my throat what i ate with each relish daring those four d lys we never know what we oan do till we try on the elghtn day after leaving jhansl the fonrth after slayingvthe soldiers i reached gwaliorwearled fagged footsore and almost tired of life have lain down to die or have recklessly thrust myself into the midst of my enemies bat the distant sight of the great rock fort ress ot gwalior revived my spirits i was soon conducted to a house and tended and cared for by order ol maharaj th sindhia oh the luxury of a bath after ill that time and travel and suffering 1 a few days of rest and good food had almost set me np again when i wis onoe more started on my fliot the maharaj ih continuing loyal to to the government incurred the animosity ot his own people and after a time of seeth ing discontent and hisuppressed murmurs his troops broke oat into open mutiny against him crying to be led to join their brothers in arms attended by only a handful of faithful servants sindhia was obliged to flje to agra for bis life gwalior was of ooarse now become too hot for any european and i followed sindhlas ex ample again i started on my wandering bnt this time i had fewer adventures for the dis tance was shorter oa the second day i swam across the river chumball at the im minent risk of being seized and devoured by one of the numerous alligators that swarm in its waters but on the other hand tnere was the certainty of being selz id and slain if i sought the ferry bridge there then was none i passed dholpore and soon found comparative safety nnder the influence of the vicinity of the european foroes at agra there in due course i arrived sate indeed as to life and limb bat i was not a very pre eontable objsot mj feet were blistered swollen am torn my olothes were filthy and ragged my skin was tanned and raw with the heat of the tun and my eyes were iufl tmed and nsarly blind from the continual glare and fine dust ot the road in all i had done about one hundred and thirty miles i say barefoot for the native shoes i had got from my bricklayers proved almost worse than useless to me as i came near to agra late in the after nooua lady driving in ber oarriage saw me and very kindly took me np and convoyed me to the fort still a good distance off the neighbouring europeans had found shelter and safety in akbars old fortress which was garrisoned by a large european force i was taken to the commandant who heard my statement of what had oocurred at jhan si and i was then attached to the battery of artillery in garrison but i did little dnty an attack of brain fever soon follow ed and during it i was nursed with tho ut most care at d
