Then two of the conspirators bounded up the staircase on to the roof, ran to the parapet and leaped over into the valley, two hundred feet below.

They were the last of the eighteen men who had lowered themselves, from the roof above, to attack Charlie.
As soon as Tim picked himself up, he hastened to ascend the stairs again, and to run to the side of his master.

Charlie was insensible.
Leaning against the parapet, too weak to stand, but still holding his sword, and ready to throw himself once more before him, stood Hossein; who now, seeing Tim approach, and that all danger was over, dropped his sword and sank upon the ground.
A minute or two later the rajah himself, sword in hand, hurried up.

He was greatly concerned, and excited, at the sight which met his eyes.
Charlie was at once lifted, and carried down to one of the rajah's own rooms, where he was instantly attended to.
A hasty examination showed that only two of the attacking party still breathed.

None of those who had fallen above survived, so fiercely and deadly had been the blows struck by Hossein and Tim.
