The only troops at Humeerpore were the Treasury Guard of the 56th Native Infantry, under a Subhadar, who were known to be disaffected. Loyd therefore called on two neighbouring Rajas, on whose loyalty he could rely, to furnish him with a few men; and up to June 13 a semblance of order was maintained. But on that date the Sepoys broke out, the levies joined them, and the work of murder, arson, and plunder commenced. The Christian clerks and their families were the first victims. Loyd, Grant, and two visitors (refugees from Jalaun), finding that their horses had been seized, fled across the Jumna hoping to escape to Cawnpore or Futtehpore. The others went on, and one did eventually reach Havelock's camp, but Loyd and Grant returned and lay hid at the junction of the Jumna and Betwa. For a few days they were fed by faithful men in Humeerpore, but eventually they were betrayed by a goatherd and brought into the station, where they were shot by the mutineers. |
