And while this work was going on, a sudden corner revealed another string of rebels running down a path.

"For a moment," writes B.-P., "the thought crosses one's mind, shall we stop to fire or go for them?
but before the thought has time to fashion itself, we find ourselves going for them." Again there was the cheering rush, the rattle of rifles, and hard fighting till the enemy was scattered.

So the battle went on, and it did not cease until the stronghold was completely cleared.

Then the "flag-waggers" signalled back to the main body for stretchers.[2] During this pause Baden-Powell wrote an account of the fighting (illustrated), to be sent home to his mother.
In this manner Babyan was beaten, and the victors went back to camp satisfied with their day's work.

On the following morning it was discovered that a column sent by the General to attack the enemy on the Inugu Mountain had not returned, and Baden-Powell with a patrol of a hundred men was ordered to go in search.
