Rujub, the Juggler

CHAPTER XII
19/34

In the Daob a mutiny had taken place at four of the stations, and the Sepoys had marched away to Delhi, but without injuring the Europeans.
After this for a week there was quiet, and then at places widely apart--at Hansid and Hissar, to the northwest of Delhi; at Nusserabad, in the center of Rajpootana, at Bareilly, and other stations in Rohilcund--the Sepoys rose, and in most places massacre was added to mutiny.

Then three regiments of the Gwalior contingent at Neemuch revolted.

Then two regiments broke out at Jhansi, and the whole of the Europeans, after desperately defending themselves for four days, surrendered on promise of their lives, but were instantly murdered.
But before the news of the Jhansi massacre reached Deennugghur they heard of other risings nearer to them.

On the 30th of May the three native regiments at Lucknow rose, but were sharply repulsed by the 300 European troops under Sir Henry Lawrence.

At Seetapoor the Sepoys rose on the 3d of June and massacred all the Europeans.
