The first part relates how the outbreak came upon the author's companions and himself, in our obscure little station, how on withdrawal, they had to take a long round in their endeavour to reach Allahabad ; what adventures they met with, and what places they visited : whilst the attempt has been throughout made to distinguish purely military mutiny from insurrection; and where the people seemed to side with the Sepoys, under what ideas, and with what aims, they did so.
