Not at that time.
Question from Lieut.-Col.

Booker--Do you consider there was a panic when the retreat commenced?
Answer--I think the retreat was caused by a panic.

After the column was re-formed I ordered the two leading companies again to extend and skirmish.

They did so.

I ordered the rest of the column, which at that time was composed of Queen's Own and Thirteenth mixed together, to retire, as they were exposed to a heavy fire on the front and right from the enemy's front and left.
