65/79 The Rajah's statement regarding this lad is confirmed by all the people of the town, but none of them know what afterwards became of him. With great difficulty he caught the boy, who ran very fast, and brought him home. He fed him for some time, and tried to make him speak, and associate with men or boys, but he failed. He continued to be alarmed at the sight of men, but was brought to Colonel Gray, who commanded the first Oude Local Infantry, at Sultanpoor. He and Mrs.Gray, and all the officers in cantonments, saw him often, and kept him for several days. |
