All this was accomplished without any casualties to our troops.
The next day was spent in destroying the two great stockades, cutting down the bush round them, and blowing up the fetish tree; as well as burying the enemy's dead, thirty in number.

On the evening of the next day, Bekwai was gained.
Colonel Burroughs determined, after this success, to get rid of the next danger by making another attack on the entrenchments and war camp at Kokofu and, with five hundred men and four Maxims, he started out for that place.

But the task was too heavy for him, and the enemy were quite ready to receive our troops.

They were in great force, and fought bravely for some hours.

The turning movement which was attempted failed; and the colonel decided, at last, to retire to Bekwai.
