On May - we moved to Waschbanlk

General Hamilton with three battalions
up the steep slope of Withock hill. The
Third cavalry brigade crowned hill
on each side of the main road. and
Bethune attacked by the Pomeroy road
from three sides. The enemy hurried
ly abandoned the position which they
had strongly entrenched and retired to

we hope to dislodge them tomorrow, as
many of them have retired We have
gained the summit of the Berg with
the loss of only few men wounded

Hildyard moves on Vessels Mex. Our
small loss, I think. was certainly due
to the excellent troops leading Generals

says:
1.-The enemy evacuated Helpmakaar
Mex during the night. leaving rear
guard of about 900 men in front OF US.
These have been forced back through
out the day under considerable difficul-
ties, as they fired all the gross on top
of the Berg as they retreated. and the
wind being unfavorable to us. we were
