advanced over sand lnowls
and scrubs for mile from
Fort Baker along the Teb

fire with Remington rifles.
The range was so long that
: the shots proved ineffective.
The rebels in swarms reached
the high ground in front and
on the TANKS Of the British
army. They retired slowly
as the English advanced,
keeping about twelve hundred
yards from the main body of
the English forces. The
British cavalry followed, COW
