Summary: had mutinied on account of arrears of pay. However, on making enquiries, it was ascertained that the report was false, and that everything was quiet. Colonel Macan desired me to take charge of the 4th Cavalry till he returned to Headquarters, as he intended to remain for a few days. I rode out to reconnoitre the country, and found a fine tank, where we determined to fish in the evening. After dinner, we went to the tank, and being provided with nets and torches, we found great sport in catching fish. It was a delightful evening and added a pleasant diversion to our journey.
