Rani on the Road to Kalpi

At midnight on this day, accompanied by a small party wearing armour and carrying a dagger and two loaded revolvers, the Rani left the Jhansi fort in her white horse. Her party was attacked just as it had got out of the city and a fight ensued. In this skirmish many were killed but the Rani used her revolver skilfully and her horse galloped on .As soon as they were clear of the enemy’s scouts , the Rani took the road to Kalpi.
