For this purpose they armod themselves with ‘clubs, axes and steves, ed headed by two drummers marched defiantly tewards the main entrance of the camp.

Upon being ordered by the Colonel to return to their quarters the men sot up @ ‘fiendish yell of defiance, one of thom hurling a largestoms, which struck the Colegel a ‘violent blow on theside.
