There were quite a number of soldiers also.

Promising them to report their situation, I left, readjusted myself to my horse, recommenced the run, and was soon with the troops at the east end.

Before ammunition could be collected, the two regiments I had been with were seen returning, running the same gauntlet in getting out that they had passed in going in, but with comparatively little loss.

The movement was countermanded and the troops were withdrawn.

The poor wounded officers and men I had found, fell into the hands of the enemy during the night, and died.
While this was going on at the east, General Worth, with a small division of troops, was advancing towards the plaza from the opposite end of the city.
