98 COMPENSATION. 



cumstantially related, (with all that she, 

 with others of her sex, suffered) by two 

 civilians resident during the siege never- 

 theless, I may perhaps be permitted to 

 add, that after passing, unhurt, from the 

 fire of the rebels, who lined the road 

 for the first three miles although one of 

 her companions was shot in the arm, and 

 afterwards died from the effects of the 

 wound she, with much fatigue and suf- 

 fering, got safe to Cawnpore, and thence 

 floated down the Ganges to Calcutta, 

 whence she sailed in the steamer to 

 Southampton, where I met her with a 

 degree of satisfaction it is impossible to 

 express. 



It will scarcely be believed, except by 

 those whom it immediately concerns, that 

 no compensation has yet been awarded to 

 the sufferers in that critical and destruc- 

 tive siege, although 1,000, GOO/, sterling 

 has been sent out to the Indian Govern- 

 ment for that purpose.
