The station, though rumours of approaching evil were rife, remained quiet till May 31, the women and children being sent off in the interval to Nynee Tal. On that date the Native Infantry and Artillery broke out, murdering several of their Officers, and the station was given up to plunder and arson. Robertson declined to leave for the Hills with the rest of the Officials and took refuge with a friendly native, along with the Doctor and the Deputy Collector. But the townspeople attacked the house and murdered Robertson and his companions. |
