In the mean time Major Powell had completed his arrangements for the defence. The men were dis tributed all around the circle, lying down in the wagon-beds, and to confuse and disconcert the enemy, these beds were covered with blankets, thus entirely concealing the defenders. A DISCOMFITED HOST. 483 " Some fifteen minutes afterwards/' says Major Powell, "I was surrounded by about eight hun dred mounted Indians, but, owing to the very effect ive fire of my small party, they were driven back with... considerable loss. " But it is not in the words of a cold and almost unnaturally modest official report that the heroism of these thirty-two men can be described. Two offi cers, twenty-six private soldiers and four citizens, lay quiet in their improvised defences, awaiting the onslaught of unknown numbers of a brave and mer ciless foe, with perfect certainty that nothing but a merciful bullet, or their own cool heads, brave hearts, and steady nerves, stood between them and death by the most exquisite torture.
