The troops mutinied on June 3, and Simson with the other residents were forced to retire to Ghazipore. Messrs. Venables and Legge, indigo planters, afterwards restored partial order, and Simson was one of those who returned with a force from Benares to reoccupy the district. They reached Azimgarh on July 18, and were at once attacked by a large body of rebels, who were defeated and dispersed, but the advance of the 12th Irregular Cavalry compelled our officers to abandon the Station again on the 25th. Simson was then sent to the Mirzapore district, where he did good work against small parties of rebels and mutineers. Notably he and Lieutenant Knyvett, with only 50 mounted Sikh police, defeated and dispersed a body of 500 or 600 mutineers at Shahpore. |
