Watson, the Magistrate, and his Assistant, Outram, supported at first by troops who mutinied later on, and then only by ten brave volunteers, held the district throughout the month of June. Driven back at one time to Hatras, whence they sent the women and children to Agra, they returned again to Allygarh, where they held their own, with incessant work in the saddle, till July 3, Then, after they had repulsed hundreds of the bad characters of Koel and mutineers, the revolt of the Gwalior Cavalry and Artillery compelled them to retire to Agra. The day after their arrival Outram took part in the battle of Shahgunj, in which he was wounded. He served as a volunteer in the fort and after the relief returned to Allygarh. Here he was attached as Civil Officer to Colonel Riddell's Column, and finally accompanied the Siege Train to Cawnpore. Wounds and exposure, however, had done their work, and in the following year he was permanently invalided. |
