I saw that the colors of the Thirteenth were safe, and I moved off with the column.

A short distance from Ridgeway I dismounted and walked with a member of the Queen's Own who was wounded, and kept the road afterwards for some time with him.
A volunteer rode the horse into Port Colborne, where we arrived, much fatigued and distressed, at about 3 p.m.Nearly two miles from Port Colborne I was, with others, taken up by the second train which came down the road to meet us.

The train took up several officers of the 13th and the Queen's Own.
At Port Colborne, through the kindness of Mr.Pring, the Collector of Customs, I was provided with the requisites for writing my despatches to the Major-General Commanding and to Colonel Peacocke.

The drafts were perused by Major Gillmor; and one despatch was copied by Major Cattley of the Thirteenth and the other by a non-commissioned officer of the Queen's Own.
Shortly after returning to Port Colborne I received advice of ten companies of volunteers from Paris.

Others arrived during the evening.
