the charge for which the Tennessee

pared by fixing bayonets. The retire :

good order.
The engagement was brought on by
the enemys persistent attacks upon
the outpost at Jaro Bridge. Nothing
could be gained by forcing the enemy
back further, as ii was impossible with
the limited number of troops TO hold
the position.
The American troops were exhausted
by the fighting and having to wads
knee deep through the rice fields and
sugar cane. There were several cases
of prostration by the heat.
