This put new life into the attacking party; with a loud cheer they dashed across the bridge, while Peel poured round after round from his 24-pounder on the insurgents with most salutary effect.

The enemy faced about and retired with the utmost celerity, leaving a 9-pounder gun in our possession.
The whole of Hope's brigade, followed by Inglis's, now arrived on the scene and proceeded to cross the canal, some by the bridge, while others waded through the water.

Having got to the other side, both brigades re-formed, and moved rapidly along the Kalpi road.

We (the Commander-in-Chief, Hope Grant, and their respective staffs) accompanied this body of troops for about a mile and a half, when the rebels' camp came in sight.

A few rounds were fired into it, and then it was rushed.
We were evidently unexpected visitors; wounded men were lying about in all directions, and many sepoys were surprised calmly cooking their frugal meal of unleavened bread.
