The day broke sullen and gloomy. The rain had ceased, but the thunder Still growled, and the hot earth steamed until the atmosphere was suocating. The _ ght was done. The spot where it had taken place was like a shambles. Whites and blacks were lying dead side by side, and wounded rebels, mad with erce hatred, tried to kill the wounded whites. But the wounded rapidly died for the want of succour, and death came as a merciful relief. .

The unequal struggle was carried on ercely by both attackers and de- fenders; but it was massacre, and the little column of brave men were cut -to nieces, although they exacted a .tejrr"ib1e penalty. For a time they kept the foe at bay and hammered him until, again and again, he recoil- . ed, and the dead bodies of the rebels "lay in heaps. As the British column was thinned off, however, the mutin- ers began to press their charge hcme, until ultimately resistance ceased, for `there was no one left to resist.

After two -hours of` very rough going, a. patch of brushwood was reached, and here the command- ing oicer ordered a. halt, as he wished to rest_ his.men and waityfor. the rst gleam of dawn before rush- ing the village. The soldiers were instructed to keep silent, and no res were to be lit. Suddenly and without the slightest warning, a vol- ley of musketry was poured into them, and they realised that they had fallen into an ambuscade, In the pitchy darkness it was impos- sible to tell the strength of -the enemy, or where he was posted. The unexpected attack threw thecolumn into confusion, and after the volley "wounded and dead encumbered the `ground. In a few minutes. a blaze of lightning illuminated the heavens, and the ash revealed to the entrap- pec`. soldiers" that they were. 5 r- rounded. Thunder followed the sh, and rain began to pour down in tor- -rents, adding -to the misery and dis-. comfort of the men, and increasingl the agony of the wounded. The` rebels red another volley, and at-l tempted to rush `the position, but were checked by the fire of the de- fenders, though the check was only temporary. The column was dis- organised, and when it became known that the commanding oicer had been killed, the men were de- nioralised; yet they fought ercely for their lives, though it was difficult] to tell friend~from foe, and what with the roar of the rain, the howl- 'ing of the wind, which had become a `gale, and the deep and almost in- cessant growl of the thunder, it was impossibleto hear the words of command; equally impossible was it` to preserve anything like a forma- tion. It was every man for himself, though in some instances comrades! fought back to back until one or both fell. The rebels had everything in their favour, they knew the ground, they largely outnumbered their opponents, and were less in- commoded by the storm. i I rn:_, n,, .,.v|. a nun: II `as: LU Uc D_C'vllo `J1 VEHUI Ill lsecmedbrew1ng.
