Alarm being excited by the accounts 

 received from India during the campaign 

 on the Sutlej, strong reinforcements of 

 European troops were hurried out early in 

 the summer of 1846. One of the corps 

 embarked was the 32nd regiment, under my 

 command. The voyage, prosperous and 

 monotonous as visual, was performed ; and, 

 with my first view of the Bengal coast, I 

 resolved to keep a journal.
