CHAPTER IX
29/31

The cavalry followed.

Before two o'clock the whole force was back again over Range Post.

The enemy poured in all the shells and bullets they could, but our men just came back at a walk, and only four were wounded.

I am told General Brocklehurst was under strict orders not to lose men.
The shells did more damage than usual in the town.

Three houses were wrecked, one "Long Tom" shell falling into Captain Valentine's dining-room, and disturbing the breakfast things.
