aptain Fagan, who had been writing in his tent,
hearing the noise, started up, and without waiting for his sword, led a
few foot artillerymen, who were ready armed, in pursuit. Fifteen of the
enemy were shot down by the party, and the captain returned with a sword
and a Minie carbine, of which he had relieved a ressaldar of the 8th
Cavalry."

Note. None but Europeans now remained in the camp. In consequence of
their behaviour on this occasion, the 9th Irregulars were sent away,
while the Golundazees who composed Renny's artillery were ordered to be
disarmed. This latter measure was considered unnecessary. The brave
fellows served in the batteries during the remainder of the siege; and,
at the time of the assault, were sent in with the stormers to turn the
guns captured in the bastions upon the enemy.

Notice having been received in the camp that the Nemuch brigade was
advancing upon Agra, the only city in the Doab which remained faithful
to the British, a force was sent out to oppose them. It consisted of
450 of the 3rd Europeans, Captain D'Oyley's battery, and about 50
mounted volunteers. It was determined to attack the enemy, who were
several thousand strong. They came in front of the village, with 11
guns. The British force met them with half a battery on each wing,
supported by the volunteer horse. A long artillery fight took place,
and the enemy were driven back but not followed up. The foot were kept
alternately advancing and lying down. Two tumbrils were blown up, and a
gun dismounted. The enemy sent some cavalry to turn our flank, but they
were met by our guns and some volunteer horse. It was now that Captain
D'Oyley was mortally wounded, but still he continued giving his orders.
At last, beginning to faint away, he said, "They have done for me now.
Put a stone over my grave, and say that I died fighting for my guns."
The enemy were ultimately driven out of the village, but the British
ammunition falling short, advantage could not be taken of the success
which had been obtained.

GALLANTRY OF BRIGADIER CHAMBERLAIN.

Brigadier Chamberlain's gallantry was on all occasions very conspicuous.
On the 14th of July a desperate attack was planned by the enemy on the
British batteries.

They came out in great force to storm the pickets under Hindoo Rao's
hill, and the Subzi Mundi. The British, however, under good cover, kept
them back for several hours, making great havoc among them, and losing
only 1
