Was, on the outbreak of the 55th Native Infantry at Hoti Mardan, specially deputed by Lawrence to victual the fort at Attock, then held by a wing of the 27th Inniskillens; this being considered a matter of vital importance. The harvest of the Chach plains was at that time being gathered in, and the happy idea struck Macnabb of collecting the revenue direct in kind, so that in a few days a splendid store was laid up in the fort. Thus well did this young officer earn the approbation of Lawrence. He subsequently, in 1862, captured the body of Himmat Khan, who refused to be taken alive, and who was known to have murdered Dr. Graham and his daughter in the outbreak at Sealkote. He also arrested the Rao Sahib, the active Lieutenant of Tantia Topi. The Rao was tried, convicted, and executed, it being proved that he was in command at Bithoor when the European fugitives from Futtehgurh were massacred there in his presence. |
