CHAPTER VI
TATIA TOPE
WHEN the army of the "mutineers" had been
defeated at Cawnpore on the 16th of July,
Srimant Nana left Cawnpore and proceed-
ed to Brahmavarta. That night—the 16th
of July—was spent by Nana in his palace
there, in deliberation as to his future plans; and
the very next morning saw Nana Sahib approaching the
boats waiting on the river Ganges with his youngest
brother Bala Sahib, his nephew Rao Sahib, his aide-de-
camp Tatia Topé, with all the ladies belonging to the
royal household, and with his treasure and a few supplies.
