This district soon caught the contagion of rebellion and anarchy, and Gonne with the rest of the officials were in a few days, after hoping against hope, compelled to leave. They attempted to make their way down the Sarju by boat but, finding all the regular landing-places occupied by the rebels, they left their boat and made the best of their way to the Fort of Mathiara, belonging to the Raja of Dharawa, Thence the party attempted to reach Lucknow, but failed.
