On the extreme left, considerable bodies of the enemy appeared, and for
a moment it seemed that they would leave the hills and come into the
plain. The cavalry, however, trotted forward, and they ran back in
confusion, bunching together as they did so. The battery immediately
exploded two shrapnel shells in their midst with great effect. This
ended the affair, and the troops returned to camp. The casualties were
as follows:--
BRITISH OFFICERS.
Wounded severely--2nd Lieutenant G.N.S. Keene.
" slightly--Captain L.I.B. Hulke.
" " --Lieutenant R.E. Power.

I shall make the reader no apology for having described at such length,
what was after all only a skirmish.
