Hearing while at Kundwar of a rising at Gudduck, in which the Chief of Nurgoond was actively concerned, he at once started for Nurgoond, hoping by his personal influence to settle matters. He reached Ramdraog, 25 miles from Nurgoond, on the evening of May 28, when the news that the Chief had joined the rebels was confirmed, and he was urged not to proceed with his insufficient escort. But on he went, and during the night was attacked by the rebels; and he and his escort, consisting of sixteen troopers, were cut tip, one man alone escaping and he severely wounded. Manson's death was much deplored, as he was most popular and an officer of no ordinary merit. The Chief was subsequently captured and brought to justice. |
