About The Book : One day he left his tent quite alone, gun in hand, and never returned. The strictest search revealed no sign that gave a clue to the mystery of his disappearance. He might have been killed and devoured by a tiger, or murdered by robbers, or perhaps he had been made prisoner and was languishing in one of the many fortresses with which the Maratha country is studded, for, although the Marathas were nominally at peace with us, it was well known that their monarch, the Peshwa, and many of his nobles, were bitterly hostile. The battle was opened on the Maratha side by a sudden discharge from a battery of nine guns against our troops, which by this time had advanced nearly two miles in the direction of Poona from their first position at Kirki.
