On the 16th of October, Rānā Khan with his leading officers, interviewed the sightless Sovereign and gave him what consolation was possible in his unfathomable misery. Next day, which was a Friday, he had the *khutba* read in the name of Shah Alam II again from the pulpit of the Jāmi Masjid. The flag of Sindhia again floated over Delhi city and was to continue there without a break till thirteen years later, when the banner of St. George took its place.
