The mahout, with voice and goad, tried manfully to get her back into the path, but there was a moment's wild confusion, in the midst of which Gerrard became aware of a mob of wild Darwanis, their garments flying, charging down upon his rear. "They have broken through! Our Sahib is slain Chatar Sahib the Red Sahib!" they yelled. "Fly for your lives!"
