Dined with Colonel B ke. 27th. After a long ride in the morning, accompanied Colonel B ke and ladies to dinner at Mrs. W gs. In the evening, a small party, with music.

Amboyna, Banda, and Ke; and that of Gilolo, including Morty, Batchian, Obi, Ternate, and other small islands. These divisions have each a considerable number of peculiar species, no less than fifty-five being found in the Ceram group only; and besides this, most of the separate islands have some species peculiar to themselves.
The tallest of the company turned, his leg-irons clanking at the movement, and stared at the boy. "See!" he cried to his fellows in Pushto. "They send children against us. What a people, and what fools!" "Hya." said Jakin, nodding his head cheerily. "You go down- country. Khana get, peenikapanee get live like a bloomin' Raja ke marfik.
That afternoon a messenger from Havelock brought down the terrible news that they had fought their way to Cawnpore, only to find that the whole of the ladies and children in the Subada Ke Kothee had been massacred, and their bodies thrown down a well. The grief and indignation caused by the news were terrible; scarce one but had friends among the prisoners.
