The enemy's loss was estimated at two thousand.

Ours was not known, when I left the camp; but it was roughly estimated at over six hundred in killed and wounded.

Among the former, I regret to say, was General Fraser, who was mortally wounded by a cannon shot, while leading on his men." "I am sorry to hear of his loss," General Lake said, "while the rest of your news is satisfactory, indeed.

Reports had reached me that the Rajah of Bhurtpoor had joined Holkar but, after coming into Agra and begging that we would accept him as an ally, I had difficulty in believing that he would have turned against us; especially as he must have known that, if Holkar was defeated, he would have to bear the whole brunt of our anger--which he could not hope to escape, as his territory lies within two or three days' march of Agra." The general called his staff, and told them of the brilliant victory that had been won at Deeg.

The news spread rapidly through the camp, and was greeted with enthusiastic cheers by the troops.
In the meantime Lord Lake had entered his tent, and obtained full particulars of the battle.
"I was close to General Fraser when he was struck, sir," Harry concluded.
