Mr. J. Brierly was now the leader of the little fleet, which confidently
prepared early on the afternoon of the 6th to continue the journey down
stream. The servants, who survived, have by their statements left no
room for doubt about this; and to the non-official residents of Fatehgarh
the Brierly family had long been one which eommanded respect by reason of long residence and commercial standing, J. and H. Brierly were brothers, the latter being junior and always called "Dick Sahib." They had been over twenty-five years in Fatehgarh, and resided with their families in the house behind the present Civil Hospital, which still exists.
Originally auctioneers, the two brothers opened a shop and commenced
manufacturing tents. They supplied the wants of the station, dealing in what was then known as " Europe " goods ; and were concerned in a good many commercial ventures at Fatehgarh. Mr. Brierly 's boat was by far the most commodious, and most of the passengers eventually transferred to it. At the moment of starting, however, Mr. Brierly 's boat led the way, having on board sixty-seven persons of whom nearly half were children. Then followed Mr. Maclean's boat with thii*ty-six including seventeen children. Nine of these children belonged to Mrs. Palmer, and they were looked after by Hingun, their ayah, who never left them until the very end. Ju Mr. Shiels' boat were his wife and two children.
Similarly, in the fourth boat were only Mr. and Mrs. Ives and their grown
up daughter. The fifth boat was a small one of Mr. Brierly s, which had domestic servants in it, the sixth boat being devoted to canning the
provisions and valuables. Altogether there were one hundred and ten persons comprising twenty-five men, thirty-three ladies and fifty-two children.
