Lord Gifford led the way, as usual, with his scouts.
The enemy opened fire as soon as the scouts appeared; but these, with the Houssa company of Russell's regiment, rushed impetuously into the village, and the Ashantis at once bolted.

Two of them were killed and five taken prisoners.
The next halting places of the advance troops were Kiang Bossu and Ditchiassie.

It was known now that Ammon Quatia was lying with the Ashanti army at Amoaful, but five miles away, and ambassadors arrived from the king finally declining to accept the terms of peace.

Russell's and Wood's regiments marched forward to Quarman, within half a mile of the enemy's outposts.

The white troops came on to Insafoo, three miles behind.
