Two regiments and a mountain battery therefore went out and rescued them from their awkward predicament, bringing them into camp, with as much baggage as could be found.
The casualties of the day amounted to a hundred and fifty animals, and a hundred followers killed.

Of the combatants two officers were wounded, and fourteen Gordons were wounded, and four killed.
Owing to the necessity of sending out part of the 4th Brigade, to support the cut-off rear of the 3rd Brigade, it was impossible to continue the march that day.

Next morning, the order of the brigade was changed.

The 23rd was to lead, handing over a battery of artillery to the 4th, for service in the rear guard.

It was also ordered that flanking parties were to remain in position, until the baggage had passed.
