THE SACK OF THE KAISER BAGH. ing timber, they reached the enclosure of the Kaiser Bagh, Avhere they found that the remainder of the 90th Regiment were already established, they having rushed in by one entry ^vhile the Sikhs and loth Foot effected an entrance by another. The scene that presented itself to Captain Wolse- ley's eyes within the building, or rather collection of palaces, courts, and gardens, which for magnificence and costliness of fittings enjoyed a reputation that was not belied b...y the reality, baffles description.
