It was also thought advisable to take the guns from the Native troop of Horse Artillery.

A few of the younger men belonging to it deserted, but the older soldiers continued faithful, and did good work in the breaching batteries.
There was a short lull after our fight on the 9th--a sure sign that the enemy's loss was heavier than they had calculated upon.

When the mutineers received reinforcements we were certain to be attacked within a few hours, but if no fresh troops arrived on the scene we could generally depend upon a day or two's respite.
Our next fight was on the 14th July.

The rebels came out on that morning in great numbers, attacking Hindu Rao's house and the Sabzi Mandi piquets, and supported by a continuous fire of Artillery from the walls.

For some hours we remained on the defensive, but as the enemy's numbers increased, and we were greatly harassed by their fire, a column was formed to dislodge them.
