After a pro- longed fight the former in person had finally turned the right of the position, with two companies C. A. R. , but losing heavily owing to the thick grass and consequent slow progress. Meanwhile, the W. A. R. Company in front had engaged the stockade, of similar proportions to the one we had rushed, but horse-shoe in form.
