killed about 20 of the enemy. I unfortunately lost my shoes
in the mud on the 22d, and had to travel the whole of the 23c1
without shoes, a distance of about thirty miles. I shall say
nothing of the hardships I Anderwent, as you Could be able to
judge from the state in which you found tne'on the 24th:
Before I close this I conceive it my duty to state, that the
conduct of the company of the Royal African Colonial Corps,
the volunteersi and militia, was highly creditable ; in short, they
behaved bravely. It was reported that Quashie Yaccoom's
people (the Wassaws) left the field early in the action.
Annexed is a,return of our loss in killed, wounded, and miss-
ing. The enemy's loss must have been very great, as one of
our balls, from their crowded state, must have killed and wound-
ed two or three at a time. The force we had engaged (includ-
ing the Dinkeras and Wassaws) did not amount to two thou-.
sand. The Commendas were not in the action.—l have &c.
