When the Huriana Infantry and the detachment of 4th Irregular Cavalry stationed at Hansi determined to mutiny, they sent five Sowars to their comrades at Hissar with instructions to rise, murder the Europeans and seize the treasure. These men rode up to the Fort on arrival and called on the Guard to open the gates, as the Russian Army had arrived. All the European officials and residents were inside the Fort, as well as the Treasury Guard of Sepoys. When the latter heard of the events at Hansi they sounded the alarm, and Lieut. Harwell on going to the spot was shot down. Wedderburn, while holding office, was shot in his chair by one of the Treasury Guard Sepoys, who came up behind him. |
