From the gardens and houses of Kisenganj, only two or three hundred yards off, the mutineers poured a deadly fire of musketry on our men, and from the bastion near the Lahore gate showers of grape caused serious losses amongst them.

Owing to the nature of the ground the Cavalry could not charge.

Had they retired the guns would have been captured, and had the guns been withdrawn the position would have been lost.

For two hours the troopers drawn up in battle array sat motionless, while their ranks were being cruelly raked.

Not a man wavered.
