Yet the leaders, probably despairing of pardon, urged the men to try the chance of battle.

In that region, a spot almost surrounded by swamps and pools was without difficulty found.
Here the insurgents were drawn up; and the cannon were planted at the only point which was thought not to be sufficiently protected by natural defences.

Ginkell ordered the attack to be made at a place which was out of the range of the guns; and his dragoons dashed gallantly into the water, though it was so deep that their horses were forced to swim.

Then the mutineers lost heart.

They beat a parley, surrendered at discretion, and were brought up to London under a strong guard.
