N. I. and 200 Sappers and Miners. It was to reach Mercara after forcing the Heggala Ghat and occupy- ing Virajpet. The light company of H. M. 48th Regt. and tbe grenadier company of the 20th Regt. N. I. proceeded on the 2nd April in advance beyond the Stony River into Coorg : their progress was checked by a party of Coorgs posted near the river, and Lieut. Erskine, a most promising young officer of H. M. 48th was killed. At six the follow- ing morning the main body broke ground, and had to figh...t its way up the pass every inch. The Coorgs had fortified it with three successive stockades, as well as with breastworks, and felled trees at every hundred yards. The first stockade was taken with trifling loss ; but from that time till four in the afternoon a series of hard conflicts was maintained in carrying the successive barriers, which the enemy defended with bravery, maintaining at the same time a continued skirmishing from the wood. The last stockade was only captured by attacking it in reverse as well as in flank.
