After marching five miles, the advance guard, of which I had the command, discovered six buffaloes grazing at a distance of about two miles from us.

We returned to the hunters with this information, and they at once consulted with me as to the best way to attack the "enemy." Acting upon my suggestions, Fitzhugh, Crosby, Lawrence Jerome, Livingston, Hecksher and Rogers, accompanied by myself as guide, rode through a convenient canon to a point beyond the buffaloes, so that we were to the windward of the animals.

The rest of the party made a detour of nearly five miles, keeping behind the crest of a hill.

We charged down upon the buffaloes, at full gallop, and just then the other party emerged from their concealment and witnessed the exciting chase.

The buffaloes started off in a line, single file.
