" On the 20th December he wrote to Lady Thackwell from Cawnpore : " Plots have ripened since I last wrote, and the denouement you will possibly get by the next mail, if they should not break forth by this. The reports on the morning of the 18th were that the Sikh army had crossed the Sutlej and meant to attack Ferozepore, into the miserable fort of which place all the ladies had taken refuge. Sir Henry Hardinge had been unwilling to believe that the Sikhs were in earnest, and has in consequence... delayed to form and brigade the army until the enemy were over the river, and he has incurred every chance of defeat in detail, and will probably not be able to bring 10, 000 men into the field against very likely six times that number. On the 17th I was dining with Dick, when at nearly 11 at night we both got an order to join Headquarters as expeditiously as possible, and I laid my dak that night for 10 o'clock this morning OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN 197 and shall hope to reach Umballa by the morning of the 25th — 400 miles — and must no doubt afterwards ride to reach Headquarters, if I am able to do so without an escort.
