reconnoitre the neighborhood. In a short time
they came upon tho enemy, whose force was too
formidable to be resisted by so small number;
and being too tar advanced to make rood his re-
treat, lost some of his party before the arrival of
the remainder of his company-after which con.
siderable skirmish ensued; but owing to the refrac
