They made two trips , and filled up all the storage vessels at the disposal of the garrison . The night passed quietly but , just before dawn , the enemy charged down through the surrounding houses . Lieutenant Edwards and his party at once opened fire , at about twenty yards ' range .

During the attack four of the sepoys were killed , and six wounded . Next night another effort was made to obtain water . Two sangars were stormed , and most of their occupants killed .
