A second attempt made by the magis- trate, with a military guard, to enter Khurda, failed, 142 HISTORY OF BRITISH INDIA.
BOOK ii. And the party retreated to Cuttack, harassed by the ^insurgents. Jagbandhu was, in consequence, em- boldened to advance to the town of Jagannath, of which he took possession. The only force at this place consisted of about eighty Sipahis, while the rioters were estimated at four thousand. The town was plundered ; the fort, buildings, and bungalows were set on fire, a...nd the troops stationed for the de- fence of the collector's house and treasury, were at- tacked ; they repulsed the assailants, but the officer commanding judged it expedient to retreat with the public treasure to Cuttack. This affair contributed to extend the insurrection, and every district in which the ancient proprietors had been deprived of their estates, was in arms. The triumph of the rebels at Puri was short-lived. One of their objects in march- ing thither had been to place their Raja at their head ; but his fears or his prudence deterred him from connecting himself with the disturbance, and one material element of opposition was thus defective.
