The continental troops lost two hundred and thirty-four men, and the Charleston militia, who, though associated with them in danger, were more fortunate, had one captain killed, and six privates wounded.
The loss of the garrison was astonishingly small.

In killed and wounded, it amounted only to fifty-five.

So great was the advantage of the cover afforded by their works.
[Sidenote: The siege raised.] [Sidenote: October 18.] After this repulse, the Count D'Estaing announced to General Lincoln, his determination to raise the siege.

The remonstrances of that officer were ineffectual; and the removal of the heavy ordnance and stores was commenced.

This being accomplished, both armies moved from their ground on the evening of the 18th of October.
