Gallantly held to his post with Loyd, the Magistrate. Though urged by Mayne, the Magistrate of Banda, to retire to that Station whilst comparative order still prevailed, they refused to move. Had they gone to Banda they would have been saved, for no lives were lost at that Station, excepting that of Cockerell, who came in from Kirwee after the others had been obliged to fly. On June 13 they had to try to make their escape, for the troops mutinied, murdered all the Christians they could find, and burned and plundered the Station. Crossing the Jumna they tried to get to Futtehpore at first, but finding that hopeless they returned and remained hidden in the reeds at the junction of the Jumna and Betwa. Here they were for a time fed by loyal men in Humeerpore, but were at last discovered, brought back to the Station and shot there. Very gallant and unselfish was their conduct. |
