departure with the rest of the company.
13111 Sandy slept on, and did nob wuken
tin it was broad doylight. When he got
up and looked around he realized his
position—hc was left alone in Lucnow
barracks, with a horde- uf bloodthirsty
Sepoys waiting to attack. He could see
the walls Of the fortress lined with
armed Sepoys, and every loophole glis-
tening with muskets.
To use hie own words in relating the
occurrence. "I said to myself, I fear it's
all up with you tins time, Sandy Mac-
pherson, my boy, but it's better to be
shot than etabbed, so I tightened my belt
and shouldered my musket, and came out,
in full marching order in face of the
blacks."

tary Ilighlund soldier appearing right in

across the .barvack yard as eunlyand
mconcernedly as if he were en parade,
