Five days after, another party at Pon-Pon shared the same fortune.

He was not so successful at Rantowles on the 23d of the same month, where in a rencounter with Col.
Washington, his dragoons were roughly handled, and retreated with loss.
He avenged himself, however, on Washington, in less than a month after, by surprising him at Monk's Corner.Col.White soon after took command of the southern cavalry, and obtained some trifling successes, but suffered himself to be surprised at Lenud's ferry on the Santee.

These events all took place prior to the surrender of the city.

The activity of Tarleton, with the general remissness, and want of ordinary military precautions on the part of the militia which opposed itself to him, made his progress easy, and thus enabled him to cut off every party that was embodied in the field.

He was now to succeed in a much more important and much more bloody enterprise.
