House at Arrah Fortified against the Dinapore Mutineers - from a sketch by Major V. Eyre, 1857. A lithograph of the house, from a sketch by Major V. Eyre, has been published at Calcutta, whence our View has been engraved. The lithograph bears the following superscription: "Sketch of the House at Arrah. Fortified by Mr. Boyle, District Engineer, E. I. [East India] Railway, and defended by him and Mr. Wake, Magistrate, with 50 Sikhs and the English residents, for seven days against three mutinous regiments from Dinapore. Siege raised 3rd August, 1857. Print dedicated to the heroic garrison". After Indian troops in the cantonments at Danapur (in Bihar) mutinied and deserted, Irish civil engineer Richard Vicars Boyle fortified a detached two-storey house and provisioned it to withstand a siege. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
