the One Hundred and Eighteenth regiment, under
Colonel Reid, crossed the river ut Carksville and
divided into three squads. The first proceeded to
camp, which they captured, with about four hundred
prisoners and four pieces of artillery.
The second party proceeded to Berry, where an
imperial guard was stationed. The commander be-
ing shot down, the Others surrendered.
The third partyprOceeded to capture Colonel Rice,
the post commander, who escaped while the party
were in the house but was afterwards captured.
