Poor man, he little thought it was the last hour they would spend on earth together. The next morning we were awoke by a noise outside our windows, and found out 13 a force of cavalry, infantry, and artillery were on the point of moving from the Kesidency. We had heard of no intended expedition, but immediately fancied they must be going out to meet the enemy. I was feeling very unwell, and dozed for some hours, and awoke, saying, "Oh, I have dreamed our troops have been signally defeated/' My ...dream proved but too true. An officer was soon afterwards brought in wounded; and he brought the disastrous intelli- gence that the native troops with us had proved un- faithful. At the same time the report came in that our force was returning, and it was very doubtful whether they would be able to save their guns. You may imagine our feelings of anxiety and con- sternation. I posted myself at the window — for re- maining in bed was out of the question — and watched the poor men coming in ; a melancholy spectacle, indeed ; no order ; one after the other ; some riding ; some wounded, supported by their comrades ; some on guns ; some fell down and died from exhaustion, not half a mile from our position.
