Palmer's horse was at once killed, and Greaves fell among the Pathans.
Adams and Fincastle, and two soldiers, galloped forward to their assistance, and were able to help Palmer back to the shelter of the graveyard.

Meanwhile Fincastle, who had had his horse killed, tried to help Greaves on to Adams' horse.

While doing so, Greaves was again shot through the body, and Adams' horse wounded.

The two troopers came to their assistance; and Maclean, having first dismounted his squadron in the graveyard, pluckily rode out with four of his men.

In this way the wounded were successfully brought in; but Maclean was shot through both thighs, and died almost instantly.
