Mayne, however, by great tact persuaded him to take care of the ladies and children at his palace, and he faithfully performed this duty so long as the troops remained quiet. It was not long, however, before they broke out, and then ensued the usual scene of arson and plunder. The officials, of course, could no longer remain at Banda, and they made the best of their way, via Nagode, to Mirzapore with the women, and children. Mayne, having lost his own district for the time, rendered excellent service in Allahabad and Mirzapore. The Trans-Gangetic portions of these districts were put in his charge and he remained at the small fort of Soraon, within a few miles of the Oudh border, incessantly occupied in keeping in check the rebels from the neighbouring fortified villages, who threatened the district and the high road between Benares and Allahabad, up which all the troops from Calcutta for the relief of Lucknow had to pass. On the re-occupation of Banda by the Madras troops under General Whitlock, Mayne returned to restore order in that district. |
