He was repeatedly written to by Mayne, the Magistrate, to come into Banda, he being the only Englishman at Kirwee. But he felt in honour bound to remain at his post, to which he held fast till Mayne sent a small escort to conduct him to Banda. He then very reluctantly started, though he saw that it was utterly useless to remain alone where he was. Before he could reach Banda, Mayne and his party had to fly for their lives, the Nawab's men having broken out, and Cockerell only reached the gates of the Palace to be murdered by these very men. His pluck, and what he unselfishly considered his duty, cost him his life. Only four years in the Service, he was a bright example of a brave young Englishman. |
