When the mutineers arrived in Delhi he went to the Calcutta gate of the Fort, where Sir Theophilus Metcalfe, Mr. Hutchinson and Captain Douglas also gathered. They were however too late to prevent the mutineers crossing the bridge-of-boats and had to flee. Fraser, after shooting a trooper with a musket taken from one of the guards, dashed through the crowd in his buggy, and made his way to the Palace. As Douglas and Hutchinson were being carried up the stairs to the room over the gateway, he made one last endeavor to appease the mob, but was cut down while speaking.
