He defeated an attempt of the prisoners to escape from the jail, and was conspicuous by the part he took in helping to maintain order under most discouraging circumstances. When the English had to vacate Goruckpore he refused to accompany them, thinking that he could trust the natives, and remained alone. But he very soon had to fly for his life, a price being set on his head. He had always been a keen sportsman and was well acquainted with the jungles, through which he fled, eventually reaching Champarun in safety. He afterwards accompanied the Gurkha Column from Nepaul. |
