The greater number of those who remained continued to suffer, and a great many died.

Of about ten European officers present with my regiment, seven had the fever, and five died of it, almost all in a state of delirium.

I was myself one of the two who survived, and I was for many days delirious.
Of the medical officers of the brigade, the only one, I believe, who escaped the fever was Adam Napier, who, with his wife and children, occupied apartments in the brigadier's large pucka-house.

Not a person who resided in that house was attacked by the fever.

There was another pucka-house a little way from the cantonments, close to the bank of the river, occupied by an indigo-planter, a Mr.Ross.No one in that house suffered.
