215 CHAPTEK XIV. THE SIEGE OE .DELHI. JUNE-AUGUST 1857. By June 21 Hodson had so far recovered that he was able to mount his horse and go about his various duties in spite of the bodily weakness which still annoyed him. " God," he said, " has been very good to me, and in nothing more so than in preserving what is most precious to me from the horrible danger and suffering of so many of our poor countrywomen and children." The sight of so many refugee officers wandering about the camp made him th...e more thankful that his stepson, Eeginald Mitford, then serving at Agra with the 3rd Europeans, " was safe from that at least." Pending the arrival of rein- forcements from the Punjab, he felt that nothing more could be done against Delhi, although, like many others, he still cherished the hope that a few days more might " end this business, . . . and so enable a part at least of the force to move on to- wards Aligarh, and reopen the roads and d&ks, and restore order for the time ; but when the end will be who can say?" On June 23, the centenary of Plassy, the rebels made a furious attack with all their available men and guns along the whole of Barnard's position.
