On the night of June 4, when the Sepoys had mutinied, Gubbins and Caulfield drove to the Mint for an European guard to escort the civilians from the Treasury, and Jenkinson rode with them. As they crossed the bridge, Jenkinson saw some armed Sepoys aiming at Gubbins. ""There was no time for warning or hesitation, and he at once reined back his horse, covering with his own body his companions in danger. It were far easier to praise such an act than to praise it worthily, and I praise it best by not praising it at all "" (Taylor's official narrative). |
