When the detachment of Sepoys mutinied on May 19, the Officers and non-combatants made for Agra. But Power resolved if possible to retain his district, as the mutineers had gone to join their companions at Allygarh, and he had only the villagers to deal with. Assisted by his brother, Lieutenant De Kantzow, Doctor Watson and six sergeants and clerks he remained till June 29. Then the mob in the town rose, the jail was broken open, and the whole party were forced to retire to Agra. After the relief of Agra, Power accompanied Greathed's column to Cawnpore, and was present as a Volunteer at the Relief of Lucknow. Subsequently he was attached to the Commander-in-Chief and his force in Oudh till the recapture of Farruckabad. |
