Christian from the first suspected the troops, but the Officers had the blindest confidence in their men. In anticipation of an outbreak Christian fortified his house, in which he placed the women and children. On June 3 the troops mutinied, murdered their Officers and the European Officials, and then attacked Christian's house, which they soon rendered untenable. He was forced to fly with his wife and child, and they were all three pursued and murdered. In George Christian the Service lost one of its most distinguished members, and no higher praise can be given to his memory than to record the fact that he was held in the highest estimation by John and Henry Lawrence. |
