The atmosphere was unimaginably disgusting, laden as it was with the most noxious and sickening odours.
It is impossible to describe the joy of breathing the pure air of the open country after such a horrible experience; but we had not escaped untainted.

That night we had several cases of cholera, one of the victims being Captain Wilde, the Commandant of the 4th Punjab Infantry.

He was sent back to Delhi in a hopeless condition, it was thought, but he recovered, and did excellent work at the head of his fine regiment during the latter part of the campaign.
After a march of eleven miles we reached Ghazi-uddin nagar, to find the place deserted.

We halted the next day.
