The sum, however, was altogether insufficient to satisfy the troops and, as Nana Furnuwees found that Bajee was still intriguing with Scindia for his overthrow, and that no rest could be hoped for until the latter's army marched away, he advanced Scindia fifteen lakhs of rupees from his own private funds.

The latter was then able to satisfy his troops.
Scindia accepted the money, but still remained in the neighbourhood of Poona.
These matters were not concluded until months after Harry left for Bombay.

On arriving there he called upon the Governor, to report the release of Nana Furnuwees.
"I received Colonel Palmer's last report, four days ago.

He has given me full details of the manner in which you, on your own initiative, brought about Nana's release, and the approaching departure of Scindia; and I of course brought them before the Council, and they quite agreed with me as to the remarkable daring and ability with which you had carried out what Colonel Palmer believed to be an impossible scheme.
"I have pleasure in handing you your commission of captain, and only regret that we cannot break the rules of the service, by nominating you major.

Tomorrow your name will be removed from the list of officers of the 3rd Regiment, and you will be appointed to the staff.
