This was a post of considerable importance and responsibility. The Hill Station of Mussoorie, close to the Doon, contained a very large European population, of whom a large proportion were women and children. The adjoining district of Seharanpore, of which Spankie was Magistrate, was partially disturbed. But fortunately the evil spirit of rebellion did not extend to the Doon, thanks in a great measure to vigorous administration. But Keene was not altogether free from anxiety. He had to provide supplies for the population of Mussoorie and the Doon, and this he did most successfully under circumstances of no ordinary difficulty. Not the least was the deficiency of coin, but his tact enabled him to remedy this by the issue of paper. |
