The enemy fought stubbornly, in the village; but were driven out with only some half-dozen casualties on our part.
Thirty sheep were found in the village, and they were a Godsend, indeed, to the troops.

As in every other place, too, numbers of Lee-Metfords, Martinis, and Sniders were found.
Treda was burnt by the rear guard.

The Ju-ju house, which was the scene of the native incantations, was pulled down, and the sacred trees felled.

The enemy, however, were not discouraged; but hung upon the rear, keeping up a constant fire.

Some of them proceeded to attack the Pekki people.
Fighting went on at intervals throughout the day, and it was decided to spend the night in a village that had been taken, after some resistance.
