No correspondent had a chance of going with the party.

The only one who even started was sent back by General Hunter to await the column's return in a guard-room.

I have been obliged to build up the story from my knowledge of the ground and from what has been told me by Major Henderson and other officers or privates who were present.
Before that party returned in triumph another important movement was already in progress, of which, I believe, I was the only outside spectator.

Just before four I was awakened by the trampling of cavalry going up the Newcastle road.

They were the 5th Lancers, the 5th Dragoon Guards, and the 18th Hussars.
