234 WILD MEN AND WILD BEASTS. 



General Michel marched his force from Neemuch to Shoja- 

 wulpoor, where it was broken up, but detachments continued 

 for some time to be employed in hunting down the predatory 

 bands which had been brought into existence by the rebellion, 

 and who now sought shelter in the jungle. My duties with 

 General Michel being at an end, I was directed by Sir Robert 

 Hamilton, then agent to the Viceroy for Central India, to 

 assume the temporary charge of the Political Agency in 

 Bhopal.
