Here there was no outbreak in the beginning, as the Native troops were disarmed and remained quiet. But in August 1858, when they were being sent away in detachments and disbanded piecemeal, they gave way to panic, imagining that they would be destroyed, and broke out armed with weapons which they had secretly collected. On their way through the station they passed Morris's house and attacked it. With the assistance of his small guard of Sikhs he resisted successfully, and before long the Europeans arrived in pursuit and the rebels fled. But the fight was severe for the time, and they left nine or ten of their number on the ground. |
