After crossing the Ganges, they arrived at Alumbagh, on the Ist of November. Lt had now become known that Outram and Havelock were not only holding their own, but were suffering comparatively little injury from the almost unceasing fire kept up on them by the enemy. There were understood to be 100,000 rebels in arms around. fis Excelleney and staff reached Cawapore on the 3rd of November. On the Ith, the 5th, 52rd, S4th, 93rd, with portions of other regi- ments, crossed the Ganges, and were speedily followed by the Naval Brigade, who dragged their twenty-four guns along with them. Large supplies of provisions had by this time been sent into Alumbagh, and arrangements of all sorts were made with the caution required and deliberation permitted by the occasion. Sir Colin Campbell left Cawnpore on the 11th, and rode forty miles at a stretch in the direction of Lacknow. The sick and wounded lefi by Havelock at Alumbagh, were sent iuto his camp, with the view of return- ing to Cawnpore, under a guard of Sikh horsemen.
