A man of great energy and determination. At first impressed with the idea that the Mutiny was only partial, he had his eyes opened by the outbreak at the adjoining District of Muttra, and then supported the Lieutenant General in his proposal to occupy the Fort. He was the first to propose the disarming of the Native Regiments, a difficult work cleverly executed. Shortly after the English had gone into the Fort Drummond, at great personal risk, visited the city and patrolled a great part of it. This had so good an effect that from that day supplies became abundant, and domestic servants, not before attainable, offered their services in crowds. Drummond continued to render good service in many ways during the occupation of the Fort, and was specially commended to the notice of Government by Lord Canning. |
