on the north side, capturing some
prisoners and raising the Dickens gen.

tower. The colonel and two companies
got here in time for dinner, but one
company, which was left out in the
brush, got surrounded by the insur-
gents and we all went to the rescue
and had lively engagement for about
three miles. The insurgents were in
an old tower and in trenches at the
base of the volcano. They were en-
trenched on the road and entrenched IN
the hills. Lieut.. Cartmell with all of
Capt Smiths company not on guard
at the church took the road. Capt.
MARBLE took the open with the 47th.
and Major Craighill sent my company
into the hills.

banana and cocoanut trees over the
hill across river and over trenches
and up another hill.
