Capt. W---- had lent him a coolie, so I had to pack another box, and as
Herah Sing had invested thirty-five rupees in a pony (without orders)
for me to ride, I got a side-saddle from Mrs. F----; and then came the
news that the Brigadier had cancelled Charlie's leave, as so many had
been applying for the same. It gave me a sharp pang indeed, for this
may be our parting in India; however, it was no time to give way, so
I dressed in all the clothes I could, fearing I might not be able to
get my boxes carried on from Secundrabagh. I put on three of each kind
of under garments--a pink flannel dressing-gown, and plaid jacket,
and then over all my cloth dress and jacket made out of my habit. I
then tied my Cashmere shawl round my waist, and also Charlie's silver
mug, and put on a worsted cap and hat, and had my cloak placed on the
saddle; in my pink dressing gown I had stitched dear mamma's last
present to me, and I filled several pockets with valuables also; in two
under ones I had all my little stock of jewellery, and my journal, and
some valuable papers. I also wore a bustle, in which I had stitched my
Honiton lace wedding dress, veil, &c., and two black and white lace
shawls; so that I was a pretty good size. At half-past 10, Charlie
and Capt. W----, with great difficulty mounted me on my pony,--a very
difficult affair dressed and laden as I was and with no spring in me.
Capt. W---- and a large party, were in fits of laughter; at last it
was accomplished, and Charlie took me out to the Baillie Guard Gate,
and there we parted with a shake of the hands, not knowing when we
might meet again! My heart was very heavy, but it was no time to give
way. Herah Sing led my pony very carefully. At last we came to a part
that was dangerous; the enemy commanded it from the Kaiser Bagh, and
the musket shots were whistling about, so some soldiers advised my
dismounting and walking through the trenches which had been cut for
us. I did so; and when I came out at the engine house an officer came
forward to meet me and congratulated me and offered his assistance. I
said I was waiting for my pony, so he offered me his charpoy to sit
on till it came round and sent his Orderly to look for it; at last
it came, and he took me through some barracks to meet it, and there
attempted to mount me, but of course unsuccessfully. At last, however,
with the assistance of a tall soldier and Herah Sing, and a chair, I
was got up again, and then he begged to know my name that he might
tell my friends he had sent me on safely, and I asked to whom I was
indebted for so much kindness? He said, "Mr. F----, of the Artillery;"
and when I named Capt. G---- he said, "Oh! I know G---- very well, and
I will be sure to tell him you are all right!" So on I went, steadily,
till I came to another dangerous part, when another soldier told me
I had better dismount; but I thought of my former difficulties, so I
made Herah Sing double the pony across, the balls whistling over our
heads. When we got to Secundrabagh, there were the 93rd Highlanders in
their kilts and bonnets, and the Naval Brigade with their great guns.
I spoke to one of the sailors on a 24-pounder, and asked if there were
any place appropriated to the ladies? He jumped off, and said he would
show me the way, and congratulated me on getting out of Lucknow, and
asked if he could do anything for me? He said his name was Mr. H----,
and he belonged to the _Shannon_, and that he might be found at any
time at that gun if I sent for him. He then told me of the fight they
had coming in, and that 1,842 Natives had been killed in that very
garden; the bodies were counted as they were buried: he said they
lay in heaps breast high. I took up my position in the corner of a
verandah, as it was cleaner than the house. Mrs. B---- was the only
lady arrived. Herah Sing drew me some water, and I took out a ham
sandwich Charlie had given me in the morning--his own breakfast--for
they had had a ham at the Brigade Mess, one that had been kept in store
as a treat to be eaten when the relief arrived. While I was eating it,
Captain C---- came up and offered to do anything for me; so I asked for
a hackery to take on my baggage. He said he could give me camels, but
I preferred a hackery as I might be able to sit on it if my pony broke
down. He gave me some sherry, and said he would send me some bread and
butter--a great treat. He left, and then came Mr. H---- again and asked
if I wanted anything, and sent me a loaf of bread. I asked him to get
me some ropes, in case my baggage had to go on camels, which he did;
and then came Capt. C---- again with his rezie and pillow for me to
sit on, and his Kitmagar with bread and butter and cold mutton and a
bottle of beer. I ate a little, and then asked him to cut sandwiches
for me, of the rest, for night; which he did, and I put them in my
basket with the bottle of beer. About the middle of the day came Miss
H---- and Mrs. S----; they had walked all the way. About an hour after,
came Mrs. H---- and Mrs. B---- and her baby in a buggy; they came to
my corner, and our party remained together all day. Every other place
was filled with ladies and children, soldiers' wives and Crannies'
wives. We were to move on to the Dil Koosha in the evening, which we
were glad to hear, for the smells here were intolerable. About dusk
they began to make preparations, and the place was one mass of camels,
bullocks, carriages and human beings; the same outside, in front of
the gateway: so great was the confusion that Capt. C----, who had been
ordered to keep the road open, gave it up in dispair, and came and said
it was utterly impossible to do so; he had left a string of camels
entangled in a ditch, and the road was one mass of entanglement; he
was, however, obliged to go off again, and it became pitch dark; and
there we were, left to our own devices: how we were ever to get on,
none of us could tell. However, at last I decided my best plan was to
load my pony with my bundle of bedding, and walk myself, and the rest
of my baggage must take its chance; the coolie who had night blindness,
and one of the old men, must remain with it, and get Capt. C---- to
send it on in a hackery next day. I got a soldier of the 9th Lancers,
named Mitchell, to load the pony for me; he was very civil, and did
all he could for me: we then sat down in the dark, patiently, till we
should get our orders to move; the enemy were out between us and the
Dil Koosha, and we were not to go without a large escort, which was to
be ready at 8. A little before that time came Capt. E----, to say the
enemy were out so strong that no carriages of any kind were to go on
that evening, we must hurry with all speed to the Dil Koosha, but must
go a roundabout, sandy road, and must run no risk of being hindered
by carriages sticking in the sand: as many dhoolies (palanquins for
the sick) as could be procured would be in readiness for the ladies,
and those who could not get them must walk. Soon after, fortunately,
came up Mr. O'D----, who said our only plan would be to go and take
possession of empty dhoolies ourselves; so off we set, he dragging us
through the entangled mass--far worse than any London mob--and he put
us into four dhoolies, nearly all separated. I called to my old man to
bring the pony and bundle of bedding, but that was utterly impossible
for the time; we waited some time in the dhoolies, and then mine and
Miss H----'s were ordered somewhere to the front, but in quite a
different direction to what I considered the right road to the Dil
Koosha. We heard the enemy firing in the distance: never shall I forget
the confusion of that night--the masses crowded together in the pitch
darkness; for even when Mrs. B---- had a candle lighted, thinking her
baby was dying (its breath having been caught by the cold air), it
was ordered to be put out immediately, on account of the number of
ammunition waggons. I think we must have started about 9; we went on
steadily for some distance, and then some of the advanced guard came
riding back, telling the dhoolie-bearers not to speak a word, the
enemy were so near; so on we went, nothing to be heard but the tramp
of the bearers; after a time we were all halted, and not allowed to
make the slightest noise, the enemy were so close. After a time, on we
went again in silence, a very roundabout way, and when I looked at my
watch after our arrival, I found it had stopped at ten minutes past
2. Now, the direct road would only have been two miles. We were kept
waiting on our arrival for some time, for they said there was no place
ready for us; we were turned back from the house, as there were already
1,100 sick there. After waiting about an hour in the cold, I seized a
gentleman who was passing with a lantern, and asked him where we were
to go; he pointed to some tents a long way off, and after tumbling over
innumerable tent-pegs and ropes we reached them, and lay down on the
ground for the night--for it was utterly impossible to find my pony
with the bedding--but we got a rizie (quilt) to lie upon, and I put
my head on my basket. The tents were so open that I, of course, got a
severe cold; however, daylight soon appeared.
Friday, November 20th. As soon as day dawned I went all over the
immense camp in search of my pony. I found several ladies had passed
the night in their dhoolies; Mrs. B---- fortunately had a small tent of
her own, so she went straight off to the commissariat officer and asked
him for a place for it, and kindly asked me to share it with her; it
was such a luxury, when it was pitched, to get into it by ourselves,
and I had found the pony, with my bedding, so when I was dressed I lay
down on it and rested, for I felt quite worn out. We spent the day
quietly; in the afternoon, to our great delight, Mr. C---- brought us
a packet of overland letters. Oh! the joy of having them once again,
and finding all our dear ones at home were well; we had received none
for many months. My hackery arrived, just after, with my worldly goods;
Capt. C---- had kindly sent them on from Secundrabagh, so that I began
to feel more comfortable. We went to bed very early, to recruit our
strength.
Saturday, November 21st. I rose early, and took home some newspapers
that had been lent me, in one of which was an account of poor Mrs.
B----'s murder at Hissar. On our return we drew our rations--bread,
meat, tea, sugar, rice, dal, and salt--a bountiful supply: I then sent
off the coolie to Charlie with a note, and he sent me back a charpoy
(bed) and some other things, so I had no longer to sleep on the ground.
Sunday, November 22nd. A quiet day! But we have no service, although
there were six Padres in the camp. In the evening, to our joy, we heard
the old garrison were leaving Lucknow, and might be with us that night.
Mrs. B---- and I sat up till Davie came and told us they could not be
here till the next morning.
Monday, November 23rd. Rose early, and went out to enquire for our
husbands, and found they had arrived, but were kept in a camp, about a
mile off. We waited impatiently till 4 P.M., when Mr. B---- made his
appearance; he said he had waited all day, to ask the Brigadier's leave
to come up; but the Brigadier had been away himself all day with his
wife; so he set off without leave, and met him just returning. About
sunset, in came dear Charlie, limping sadly; he was loaded with a
sword, carbine, haversack, case bottle, and a stick to help him along;
he had gone on the sick list, for his knee was so bad, he did not feel
equal to marching. He had tea with us, and then stretched his bedding
outside our tent, under the awning of it, so as to escape the dew; but
I longed to give him shelter, it was so cold. We packed all ready for
starting, as we were to march in the morning; but the hour was kept
secret, on account of the enemy.
Tuesday, November 24th. Charlie called us at 6, thinking we should
be off early: however, we did not start till noon. All the ladies
were ordered to collect in front of the Commander-in-Chief's tents,
when all those who had no private carriages, would be stowed away in
covered hackeries: the dhoolies were all kept for the sick. We were
late, for Mrs. B---- would not leave in her buggy till the Bheestie
was ready to accompany her. I mounted my pony, and we tried, with
Charlie's assistance, to make our way through long lines of baggage,
hackeries, camels, bullocks, &c., &c.; never, I believe, was such a
scene! The whole army marched, excepting a few to keep the Dil Kooshe
for a short time. There were 1,000 sick carried in dhoolies, and 467
women and children, in any kind of conveyance that could be got for
them, added to Sir C----'s whole army, a portion of which consisted
of nine batteries: never shall I forget the scene! As far as the eye
could reach, on all sides were strings of vehicles, elephants, camels,
&c., &c.; and when we were all pitched for the night, our camp extended
over seven miles. The dhoolies were all kept for the sick; none were
allowed even to ladies who were hourly expecting their confinement: Sir
C---- said the wounded men must be first thought of, as they had saved
our lives. The dust was overpowering! We went across country to avoid
the enemy. Our road was over cultivated fields; such ups and downs! It
was a wonder how the vehicles surmounted them. Most of the carriages
were drawn by bullocks, as the horses had been too much weakened by
the siege to be of any service. Being such tremendous lines, we were
frequently stopped by entanglements; and though we had only four or
five miles to go, we did not get to our ground till dark. The number
of guns with the force added immensely to the number of vehicles
accompanying us. As I said before, we had nine batteries, the Naval
Brigade included, and the Artillery park and magazine attached is
tremendous. There were also innumerable commissariat carts, and many
with treasure from Lucknow, the Commander-in-Chief with one division,
and General O---- with another. General H---- died this day of
dysentery. We heard distant firing all the way, and hoped it was not on
the little party left at the Dil Koosha. I could not possibly describe
the confusion when we arrived at our encamping ground for the night. I
had been obliged to get off my pony, as the sun was so powerful, and
get into a hackery, and "squat" down on the straw, like most of the
other ladies; but when we got to the ground, we had to hunt about for
our baggage, the little we had brought with us. Luckily, Charlie got
hold of our baggage hackery, and got down my charpoy for me to sit on;
but it was bitterly cold, so that Mrs. B---- took her baby into some
officer's tent till her own could be found. We had brought a little
bread and meat in a cooking vessel--our day's rations; also tea and
sugar. I had purchased some cheese at the Dil Koosha, so Mrs. B----'s
Ayah, a Musselmaunee, set to work and boiled the kettle on the ground,
and then fried the beef in a little frying pan I had brought, and we
had a grand tea: beef, and bread and cheese, and tea with milk and
sugar in it. It revived us a little, but poor Charlie seemed quite done
up; and poor Mrs. B---- had been nursing her baby all day, without
taking anything herself. Luckily, up came Mr. B---- with her camels and
tent; he had been searching for them: it was soon pitched, and we were
in luxury compared with most; for many poor delicate women and children
passed the night on the ground, by the side of their hackeries, and
the nights are bitterly cold now. The hackeries were too full for all
to lie down in them. Charlie put his bedding partly under the awning
of some tent, to escape the dew, which is very heavy; and it is very
dangerous sleeping in it.
Wednesday, November 25th. We halted--and really needed it. Charlie drew
his own rations, and we had all our meals together, and got on very
happily though not in great comfort. Mrs. B----'s Ayah did all the
cooking for us, and made some delicious pourries for tea. We went to
bed at 8, very tired. Charlie slept this night in a dhoolie.
Thursday, November 26th. We expected an order to march, but did not
get it; a party of the 8th Queen's and some Engineers went on ahead to
repair the Bunnee bridge for us, so we halted this day also.
Friday, November 27th. An order was given for us to march at 7 A.M.,
but just as we had prepared everything for starting we were told we
were not to go till after breakfast. About 11 we started, and went
about thirteen miles, encamping for the night two miles on the
Cawnpore side of Bunnee. I was very tired with the jolting of the
hackery.
Saturday, November 28th. While we were still in bed, came an order
to strike tents and be off; it seemed almost more than one could do:
we hurried and dressed, and had a little breakfast, and I was in
the hackery by 8! We had tremendous work to get out of the crowd of
hackeries starting and get into the line, and it was half-past 9 before
we really began our march. We heard very heavy firing at Cawnpore all
day, so that the Chief ordered us not to halt at Enown, but march
the whole way in to the banks of the river--thirty miles--he himself
hurried on to Cawnpore, and it was fortunate he did, for the Gwalior
mutineers had been there three days; and this day, the 64th Queen's,
returning from spiking some guns, lost 7 or 8 officers; indeed, all
that went out with them: and an officer of the 70th had to bring them
out of action. I jolted on in my hackney from 8 in the morning till 12
at night, the life almost jolted out of me; luckily we had bread and
cheese and a bottle of beer with us. Charlie dragged on his weary way,
first walking and then in the hackery, but he was quite done up at
last; and yet, when we got to the encamping ground, we were two hours
more searching for Mrs. B----'s tent: it was 2 o'clock before I got in.
Then, of course, our baggage hackery never arrived till late the next
day; so we had to contrive and boil a little water in a lotah, so as
to have a cup of tea, and then we lay down,--Charlie outside and I in
the tent with Mrs. B----.
Sunday, November 29th. We hoped to be allowed to halt, but an order
came that we were to go two miles nearer the river, and to form a very
compact camp on account of the enemy. We started again, and got to
camp in the middle of the day; had the tent pitched in a nice turfy
spot, and were having dinner all comfortably, when another order came
that we were to cross the river that night! This was killing work,
but we afterwards heard the enemy intended firing on the bridge of
boats; luckily, Sir Colin had a battery up close to it, and kept them
off. No doubt it was a most anxious time to him--but we did grumble
occasionally, as he did not appear to think much of our comfort. Mrs.
S---- was confined in her dhoolie while changing ground this morning.
At 8 P.M. we started--all the baggage hackeries were to be stopped for
us ladies to cross the bridge of boats; but in consequence of some
of them having "dodged" into the line, it took us eight hours to do
the three miles; fortunately, it was a splendid moonlight night; just
as we were on the bridge of boats there was a sudden discharge of
musketry, which greatly alarmed us. I thought for certain the enemy
were going to attack us, but it turned out to be our own men firing in
the entrenchment; we happened to have stuck just at the time, and the
bridge of boats is so narrow we could not have escaped. I own I was
more frightened this night than any time during the siege; however, we
got safely to the Artillery barracks, where we were to halt; some very
dirty crannies had taken possession before us. However, we lay down on
our bedding which we had brought in the hackery with us and slept till
8 A.M.
Monday, November 30th. We waited on in misery till the tent came up,
which was not till late in the day, and then we found the Bheesti, our
factotum, had fever, and could not work; however, Charlie managed to
get the tent partly up, when another order came to move to some other
barracks half a mile off. In the midst of it all, Charlie contrived
to hurt his bad knee against a tent-peg. Some started for these new
barracks, and we were preparing, when a counter-order came that we were
to wait till morning; so we got our tent up, and slept in it.
Tuesday, December 1st. We took our chota hazree, and then went to
our new quarters, where we pitched our tent, and made ourselves
comfortable, and we were actually allowed to remain in peace for the
rest of the day.
Wednesday, December 2nd. We hoped to remain in peace, and the Brigadier
asked Charlie what sort of an appointment he would like; but,
unluckily, he was totally unfit for work, and so obliged to decline
all. About sunset came an order for us to march that night (we had just
returned from visiting General W----'s entrenchments), and no gentlemen
were to accompany us but Captains E---- and B----. Charlie had not yet
got his sick certificate from Dr. C----, so I was in a sad state of
mind, fearing we must now separate altogether. We set to work dividing
our clothes, &c., as best we could, but we were both excessively tired.
I did not lie down till 12, midnight, and then did so fully dressed,
expecting every moment to be ordered off. I had a most distracting
headache; however, the night passed on, and we did not move.
Thursday, December 3rd. I woke Charlie at daybreak, and he went off to
the superintending surgeon, to see if he would sign his papers, and
then was told to come at noon: at noon he went, and did not return till
4, when he said he had got his certificate. I was overjoyed. We marched
at 10 P.M.; I went in a shigram with a Mrs. R----, Charlie seated on the
step, and Mr. R---- in front. Charlie guided the blind coolie with my
pony all night by holding his stick out to him, and the coolie taking
the other end of it. I was more idle, for I slept all night. We went
twenty-five miles.
Friday, December 4th. All very fatigued this morning, Mrs. B----
especially. We got a couple of delicious chickens and some eggs for
dinner, a treat we had not enjoyed for months. We were ordered to
march at 9 P.M. Mr. R---- had had fever all day, so I gave up my place
in the shigram to him, and Charlie and I travelled in the hackery. We
went thirteen miles this night.
Saturday, December 5th. I felt quite stiff and bruised by the jolting
in the hackery. We asked Mr. C---- to bring his rations, and we would
cook them with ours, as he had no servants and got hardly anything
yesterday; he says the amount of misery experienced by the wounded
travelling in the rough hackeries is hardly credible, and many did not
get their wounds dressed or have anything to eat the whole day. There
is a sad want of servants and management. We started again at 7 P.M.,
having had our hackery well littered with straw, and went twenty-four
miles, not stopping at Futtehpore, which was half way.
Sunday, December 6th. We got to camp about 9 A.M.; the tents were
pitched in a nice tope of trees. We were ordered on again at 9 P.M.,
and had rather a long march; the last mile of it we turned off the
trunk road over a rough track to the railroad, of which we knew
nothing, as we both slept, and on awakening found ourselves at the
temporary terminus.
Monday, December 7th. We hoped to breakfast before we left the ground;
but no, we were packed into the railway carriages immediately, and
then were kept waiting three hours for the baggage to be loaded.
Charlie gave up all hope of being able to accompany us, it was such a
time before he could find our baggage and get it into the train; but it
was done at last. We took three hours getting to Allahabad, stopping
once to water the engine, which in this enlightened country is done
by coolies with earthen jars--the apparatus not being in order. We
luckily had a bottle of porter and some Native biscuits, so we kept
up till we arrived at Allahabad at 3 P.M., where we met with a most
unexpected reception, the whole station being lined with gentlemen and
soldiers who turned out for the occasion, and cheered us most lustily;
it was almost overpowering. They had done everything they could for
our comfort; all sorts of vehicles had been lent by their owners to
take us from the station to the fort, where a large suite of the
Governor-General's tents, about fifteen in number, had been pitched for
us. We shared a double-poled tent with Captain and Mrs. R----; it had
one public and two private compartments. It was a great luxury to be
quiet by ourselves, after the many months we had been herded together.
Captain D---- sent us over a splendid dinner. We met Dr. H---- and
S---- H---- at the station; all the former could do was to squeeze my
hand and say "Poor thing! poor thing!" Our tents were very comfortably
furnished; so, after taking tea with the R----'s, we went to bed.
Tuesday, December 8th. It was such luxury to be in bed, and have my
chota hazree brought to me, after having had to make it for so many
months--almost the whole of the siege--and it was such delicious
bread and butter! Mr. S----, the chaplain, and some gentlemen, came
round to all the tents, early, bringing cakes of soap for us; and the
night before all our tents were supplied with oil lamps. We went over
to breakfast in the Mess tent--it was the Governor-General's Durbar
tent--a most splendid one, and pitched in the centre of our camp; we
had a delicious breakfast--coffee, with rich cream. I enjoyed it much,
after our siege fare, and was as pleased as a child to get it. We
telegraphed to Capt. P----, in Calcutta, to write home, and say we were
all safe. Drs. B---- and H----, and Major T---- called. After this, our
days passed quietly at Allahabad. Christmas Day, we dined with Capt.
J----, of the Fusiliers; and Monday, January 11th, left Allahabad in
country boats, to join the steamers at Sirsa, as none of them could
come up higher, on account of the shallow water on the Dum-dumma Flats.
We had a narrow escape! As our boat was alongside the _Charles Allen_,
another steamer passed, having several Native boats attached to its
flat; one came with great force against ours, and every one expected we
were done for, as these Native boats generally crush up and go down
instantaneously. There was a cry, "Save the women and children!" and
we were dragged up on the top of the paddle-box by our arms; however,
our boat did not go down, or we must have gone with it. Captain F----,
of the _Charles Allen_, afterwards told me he had expected to see us
go down, and thought the poor creatures had escaped Lucknow only to
meet with another horrible death. We had a pleasant trip down the
river, and reached Calcutta on Thursday, January 28th. We slept that
night on board, and the next morning took up our abode at 3, Harrington
Street--one of the houses prepared by the Relief Fund Committee for the
Lucknow refugees, where we found everything provided for us in the most
luxurious style.
