Boat 10
Mr. and Mrs. Ives: Miss Ives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
47
The witnesses take up the account on the 11th June. Between 5 and 6 a. m. the early morning tea was being served out and drunk, when without warning the loud explosion of two guns over against the Island, following two rending crashes in Mr. Brierly's»boat, tlu*ew the fugitives into a panic. A thii*d crash succeeded, the boat rocking violently and settling down as the water poured in through the smashed timbers. A party of mutineers had crossed over the Ganges from the Cawnpore side with two guns, and at short range from the left bank of the river, to the north of the island, opened fire on the largest boat. Two balls struck the boat amidships almost in the same place, making a total wreck of that side; while the third smashed the plank roof of the cabin, reducing it to matchwood and killing Mrs. Ives, an ayah and one child.
