| Notes: | Dramatized account (characters and main events were accurate - details were "filled in.") of siege of British East India fort in Calcutta in June 1756 by native Moslems. After the capture of the fort, 146 survivors were crammed into a 14' x 18' room with little air for 10 hours. Only 23 were alive in the morning. |
