These at once fell furiously upon the mutineers, and the latter were already giving way when some fifty of the Punjaubies, led by their officers, fell upon them.
The effect was decisive.

The Sepoys scattered at once, and fled in all directions, pursued by the furious soldiers and the Punjaubies.
Reaching the walls, the fugitives leapt recklessly down.

Forty or fifty of them were cut down by the cavalry, but the greater portion reached the broken ground in safety.

Here the cavalry could not follow them, for the ground was covered with rocks and boulders concealed by the bushes.

In the village itself three hundred and fifty lay dead.
"Thanks, Marshall," Frank Mallett said, when the fight in the village was over.
