With their assistance we drove off the sepoys, but in the scrimmage my poor mare was shot.

She was a very useful animal, and her death was a great loss to me at the time.
At sunset on the 14th of September only a very small portion of the walls of Delhi was in our possession.

The densely-populated city remained to be conquered.

The magazine, the palace, and the Fort of Selimgarh, all strongly fortified, were still in the hands of the enemy.

The narrow strip of ground we had gained had been won at severe loss.
