" It is an exceeding satisfaction to me, " Sir Colin added, " to have your assistance, and to find you in your present position. " Not until the evening of September i did Outram arrive at Allahabad. By that time Havelock had fallen back upon Cawnpore, disheartened by the failure of two attemps made in the teeth of appalling obstacles to relieve the daily dwindling garrison of Lucknow. He had even talked of retiring as far as Allahabad unless the reinforce- ments he sorely needed were sent up t...o him without delay. The prospect indeed was enough to daunt the most sanguine leader of troops in the field; for cholera, sun- stroke, dysentery, and the inevitable losses in battle against heavy odds had reduced Havelock's effective strength from 1300 men to 700. His spirits had been further depressed by the knowledge that another officer was about to relieve him of his command. On this point, however, Outram had already taken care to reassure him. On August 28 he had telegraphed to Havelock announcing his intention to retain that officer in command of the relieving force.
