Reaching Dhoolie, Wilson found James Cox ready for a start. They arrived at Poosah at mid-day, where a boat was all ready. They were joined there by several young men from the neighbouring factories, and the officer in charge of the Poosah Stud. Dropping down the river, they reached Jeetwarpore next morning. When at Poosah, they heard that the detachment of Holmes� Irregular Cavalry (then at Mozufferpore), hearing the main body had mutinied, at once began to loot. Wilson and Cox, and their party, were at Jeetwarpore some three days, and not a letter or paper did they receive. | | | Indexer Notes | (1) This index entry was extracted from the author�s [Minden J.
