Colonel Hay, after remaining two or three days in Wilmington to rest and refresh his men, was on the return home with his detachment, when he came upon Butler's camp, on Hammond's creek, while they were all asleep, and fired upon them. A few were killed, probably the sentinels, and some others were wound- ed. Such an attack, made with spirit and in the dead hour of the night, took them by such a surprise that they sought safety in the best way they could. A few evenings after he had a skirmish ...with another body of Tories, and some British troops. This wa3 quite a spirited affair for a short time, but was soon over. General Butler ordered a retreat after the first fire, under a mistaken apprehension that the enemy had artillery, of which he was destitute ; but Col. Robert Mebane, who belonged to his command, rallied as many men as he could and continued the conflict. Colonel Thomas Owen, father of General Owen, and of the late Governor Owen, was there, and, as General Owen informed me, took the chief command.
