or part of the second West-India regi- 
ment ; but before the messenger had got 
many yards, a firing was heard on the 
tight from the enemy, and all along the 
front. In this situation I left Captain 
Harrison, of the light company of the 
54th regiment, most actively employed 
im using every exertion to keep his men 
to their duty, and was proceeding to the 
right, by the goth regiment, to know 
what was doing there; but I had scarce 
reached this regiment, when I heard 
the battery I had left was taken, I in- 
stantly turned about, directing Major 
Harcourt, with all the men of the 4oth 
he could collect, to follow me and retake 
the battery. I again met Brigadier- 
General Strutt between some men, who 
informed me his leg was shattered, and 
Captain Harrison shot through the 
shoulder. JF still pushed forward, using 
my: best endeavours, with other officers, 
to animate the men to their duty, many 
of whom at that moment were killed and 
wounded, At this time, the troops in 
the front and on the right gave way, and 
the enemy took possession of the remain- 
*ng battery. In this dilemma nothing 
but a retreat could be thought of. 
We reached Biabou with inconsider- 
able loss. “The enemy hung on our rear 
and right; but, from the judicious at- 
tention cf heutenant-colonel Fuller (who 
on every occasion afforded me the most 
ready assistance) and lieutenant colonel 
Graham, they were kept off. 
_ Biabou being upwards of 12 miles 
from Kingston, without provision, and 
little ammunition, it appeared by no 
means prudent to take post here; I 
_ therefore, as soon as the men had got 
some ‘little rest, and i¢ became dark, 
(after having ordered frres to be kindled) 
resumed our march towards Kingston 
‘unmolested.
