== Synopsis ==
Rumours of mutiny caused the wives and families of five European NCOs and many civilians to be sent to the protection of Rajah Maun Singh at Sheergunge on 8 June. On 9 June, after professing loyalty, the infantry regiments rebelled and prevented the artillery from firing on them. They allowed the Europeans to leave in four boats down the Gogra. The mutinous [[17th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry|17th Bengal Native Infantry]] were in the vicinity and harassed the fugitives. Col. Lennox, Mrs Lennox, their daughter and two servants were compelled to leave their boat and take to the fields. They Many were helped by killed during a friendly local chieftain and reached harrowing journey towards [[Goruckpore]] and eventually [[Calcutta]].
