Lady Inglis makes this mention in her diary: "Mrs.Bruere's nurse was carried past our door to-day, wounded in the eye.

To extract the bullet it was found necessary to take out the eye--a fearful operation.

Her mistress held her while it was performed." The first relieving force failed to relieve.

It was under Havelock and Outram; and arrived when the siege had been going on for three months.
It fought its desperate way to Lucknow, then fought its way through the city against odds of a hundred to one, and entered the Residency; but there was not enough left of it, then, to do any good.

It lost more men in its last fight than it found in the Residency when it got in.
