AGAINST LARGE ODDS
Brave Fight of British Marines
with Slave Dealers
Details of the Battle in Africa Show the
Natives to Have Been Crafty and
Many in Number.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-Further details Of the
disaster to the British force in it's encoun-
ter with the slave dealers on the west coast
of Africa have been received here from
Bathurst, the capital OF the British colony,
Gambia The British troops numbered 90
men, They had destroyed the strongholds,
Kembujeh and Mandina. and were returning
to the kembujeh creek for the purpose of
re-embarking. when they were ambushed
near the mouth of the creek. There had
been no signs OF an enemy, and the attack
was most sudden and unexpected. The
British had entered into perfect trap, and
were surrounded on every side. A fusillade
was directed upon them from all directions.
In spite of the suddenness OF the onslaught
and the terrible fire to which they were sub
Jected the sailors, encouraged by the heroic
efforts of their officers tried TO make
stand. The attempt was useless, as the en-
erny maintained their well-directed volleys.
The peril OF the British was extreme. To
remain there meant the total destruction of
the force. Amidst hailstorm of bullets,
and with their officers and comrades falling
dead, dying or wounded all about them,
they were compelled to retreat So great
was their danger and so ferocious the attack
Of the enemy that the British were unable
to rescue the bodies of Lieutenant of Ma
rines Francis w. Hervey and of eight 9TH
ers who had been killed. 1t was only with
the greatest difficulty that they were able
to save the wounded In their retreat they
were forced to abandon their field piece
and 6,000 cartridges, all of which fell into
the hands of the enemy.
on the arrival of the news at Bathurst
the war vsssels Aviso and Alecto were dis
patched to the scene of the disaster and at
tempted to land a party at Condor. The
enemy, however were prepared for their ar
rival, and as soon as the attempt to land
was made opened up a heavy fire, which
compelled the party to retire. The Alecto
thereupon returned to Bathurst for REIN
forcements. Three hundred men of a West
India regiment are expected at Bathurst,
and the expedition against the slave deal
ers will be resumed Immediately upon the
arrival of these soldiers.

that he is correct by showing that in con-

are more or less hard and that the capacity

The new steel propeller, the Potomac, is
now regularly on the route between Balti-
more and Washington, and, though the
novelty is wearing of, her visits To Leon

and is differed and manned by as fine q
crew as ever troi deck. Their names are {:
William G. Geoghegan, captain; G. M.
Geoghegan, LIST officer; J. B Douglass, End
officer; Robert Loder, chief engineer; j.
J. Goldrick, assistant engineer; A. Wiles,
purser; j. J. Cough, clerk; Robert Carter
Howard Landon, quartelmasters; j. War

Captain Geoghegan is moi the prettiest
captain that sails out Of Baltimore but he
il the best.
G. NJ. Geoghegaa is not quite as old as
the captain and is considered by the ladies
to be fairly coed looking.
J.B. Douglass is coed size man and a
good man for his size. He is an all-round
good fellow.
ROBERT Loder and j. j. Goidrick are new
men on the route and will be popular when
the people get acquainted with them.
A. Wiles, the purser, is the prettiest man
on board and some say he is the most in

j. J. Cough, [Joel is Jewel" is the
politest man on the steamer and is a valu-
able acquisition to the company.
