VICTORY OF PORTO NOVO 153 from Hastings, who furnished three lakhs from his own coffers, materially smoothed the way for Pearse's advance. Two thousand Maratha horse gave him \ the strength he needed in that arm; while Mudaji l\ himself was converted, in Hastings' words, ' from an \ ostensible enemy into a declared friend. ' In the Ganjam district, on the southern skirts of Puri, Pearse's column suffered cruelly for a few weeks from an outburst of cholera, that new and deadly scourge which pres...ently in Calcutta made, wrote Hastings, ' an alarming havoc for about ten days, ' of April, 1781. In spite of sickness, desertions, and a mutinous spirit among the junior officers, Pearse brought his brigade in sixty-four days to Nellore. In the Masulipatam district he was reinforced by troops from Madras, but not till the beginning of August did he join hands with the main army under the veteran Coote, whose long campaign in the Karnatic had been crowned a month before by the decisive victory of Porto Novo l in July 1781.
