Many fell; some fled into the forest; others ran down the prepared pathway and manned the big stockade, but the troops rushed forward, and soon compelled them to quit it.
Half a company were sent into the bush, to follow up the flying foe.

They remained out all night, and did much execution among the Adansis.

This was the first real success gained over them.
Pickets and sentries were thrown out in a circle round the village.
At midnight, the troops got a scratch meal under the protection of the huts.

Many guns were captured, some Sniders, many cakes of powder, and much food which was cooking over the fires when the troops entered the village.

Some of the rifles that had belonged to the men who had fallen in the unsuccessful attack were found, together with three thousand rounds of ammunition to fit them.
