But the cool, steadfast bearing of that group of Englishmen put a strange spell on the Sepoys. Another moment of intensest strain, and the native officer gave a sharp word of command. The magic of discipline pre- vailed : the men swuno^ round and marched off into the darkness. But the fate of Lucknow and a thou- LUCKNOW AND SIR HENRY LAWRENCE I 5 I sand British lives hung on those few critical moments. It was the haughty, ice-cold courage of that heroic group on the Residency steps which, for the moment, averted a great disaster.
