On hearing of the approach of the mutineers from Bareilly and Shahjehanpore, the non-combatants set off in boats down the Ganges. But hearing many contradictory reports as to the attitude of the villagers on the banks, the party divided next day. Some went up the Ramganga to Dharmpore, whence most of them returned to Fattehgurh. This they gallantly defended, but were eventually obliged to evacuate it and the survivors were brutally murdered. The others tried to escape down the Ganges to Cawnpore and Lowis went with them. He lost his life on the way; the others were the victims of the Nana at Bithoor. |
