with so much skill and effect that
in less than an hour the British fire
slackened and not long afterward was
completely slenced. An English officer
present at the time said: We soon

British hailed the Caroline. but got no

Despite uhe battery fire OF Jacksons
guns the British columns preserved
pretty good order until they got within
reach Of the frontlersmen's rifles. Then
the muskets OF the Tennesseeans and
the Kentuckians snapped angrily. and
most Of the bullets found billets in the
bodies OF the foe. The British were first
staggered and then thrown into con-
fusion. The American artillery and
small arms moved down whole flies Of
the enemy and forced retreat within
twenty-five minutes after opening the

Sir Edward Pal1enham had ordered
the Forty-fourth Regiment 10 be pro-
vided with fascines TO nil the ditch in

ladders to mount the parapet when
these troops reached the firing line it
was discovered that they had failed to

them back for them. Before the fascines
