The next day the river was fordable, and most of the baggage and four battalions crossed.

The enemy's cavalry also crossed in great numbers, both to the right and left of the British position.
Their artillery and infantry arrived in the afternoon, and opened fire on the battalions still left on the bank.

Harry was with these.

Seeing that they were being decimated by the guns, he called upon the Sepoys to charge.

This they did with great spirit, drove back the enemy, and captured some of the guns; but the Mahrattas soon rallied and, led by Holkar himself, charged in such overwhelming numbers that the handful of troops was nearly annihilated.
