Owing to its proximity to Dehli his district of Goorgaon was much exposed to the rebel movements. The Officials entrenched themselves in a serai, but were unable to hold it, and had to leave the Station and make their way to Muttra, with fugitives from other districts picked up on the way. Ford remained but a short time at Muttra, when he left to return to his district, and was the means of saving several Christian fugitives. He established himself at Hodal, where he was shortly joined by Harvey, the Commissioner of Agra, with a party of the Bhurtpore troops. These soon mutinied, and Ford, with his party, made for the camp before Dehli, which after much trouble they succeeded in reaching. After the fall of Dehli Ford saw much service with General Showers. |
