Sewer was wounded In the neck by musket
ball. One corporal and seven privates were
killed and besides Capts. Miller and Sewer,
1st Lieut.. Nicoll, Sergt. Kelley, one corporal and

casualties. OF the killed were Privates James
Burrows, Conrad Hooks, Luachlin NJ. S. Neil.
and Nicholas Whiteley. and Corp Luke Hovey.
Pvt John Bradley later died Of wounds received
in action, Corp John Lindon was reported miss
ing, and Corp. Joseph Smith and Pvt. John
Fozier were among those wounded.
Commodore Barney was wounded and made
q prisoner as was Capt. Miller. The former
was severely wounded in the thigh and was so
weakened from the loss of blood that he was
forced to lie down by the spring that afterward
took his name, and 1t might be interesting to
know that when construction work was begun
just TO the south Of Fort Lincoln Cemetery,
the old spring was walled up and is today In
the basement of the first house south of that
burying ground.
During the brief sojourn In Washington, it Is
said the enemy added insult to injury by oc-
cupying the Marine Barracks the house of the
commandant serving as the British headquar-
ters, and that to the hitching post In front of
the old Center House of the barracks, Admiral
Cockburn tied his horse. As further humilia-
ton the barracks on both sides of the Center
House were used to confine American prisoners
captured at Bladensburg and elsewhere.
But the enemy did not quit the Capital with
out suffering a retribution for his wanton de-
struction of American property and at Green
leaf Point number of British were killed In
an explosion. 1t occurred, we are told when a
British captain with company of soldiers
marched down to the Point, later known as the
arsenal grounds, to destroy the powder
magazine.
On reaching the spot they found the maga-
zine empty, the powder, the day before having
been taken out and thrown into dry well
One of the British soldiers. not being aware of
this fact threw lighted match taper into
the well. A most violent explosion resulted
whereby the officers and about 80 men were
killed and the rest most shockingly mangled
Some of these unfortunate victims were seen
flying through the air to great distances others
being totally buried alive under tons of earth
thrown upon them. The survivors were care
fully taken to Capitol Hill, and those in the
most distressed condition were lodged in Carroll
Row adjoining the residence of DR.. Ewen, who

Upon the retreat of Gen. Winder from Old
Fields, he came into Washington over what was
then known as the Lower Bridge and he re-
quested Barney to defend this entrance way
into the city which this intrepid sea fighter
made immediate preparations to do But the
British, after resting at Melwood, about three
miles from Old Fields, on the Marlboro pike,
marched to Bladensburg instead of crossing the
bridge at the former place
In adopting this course, the British employed
clever tactics by continuing on the road lead
