A few moments afterwards a bullet smashed my left arm just below the elbow joint and knocked me over; I was up at once and hardly knew that I was wounded, but, during the slight delay caused by my endeavouring to pick up my sword and hat, my men had rushed past me and were furiously crushing through the narrow opening in the glacis which was partly closed by a manlet. The supports, which had come up while the powder was being laid, now joined the rear of the stormers, and closely followed by the column, rushed headlong through the gate, most of the defenders of which had been killed or disabled by the explosion. They were all soon inside, but Crosse, who had run forward on seeing that I was wounded, was the first to enter. The column, being speedily reformed, cleared the Cashmere and Water Bastions with the bayonet, and then set to work to fight their way through the narrow streets to the Jumma Musjid.
