Still the position fhey took up and gallantly stuck to all day undoubtedly pre- vented a large body of the enemy from turn- ing the right of the attacking party and in flicting serfous loss on the French and the | Japanese. | Among many instances of personal bravery in the action I propose cspecially to bring to notice in dispatches the conduct of First Lieu- tenant S. D. Butler, United States Marine Corps, in bringing a wounded man from the front under heavy and accurate fire; Lieuten- ant Butler was wounded while so doing, but, I am glad to learn, not seriously. The regi- mental adjutant, First Lieutenant Henry Leovard, as Licutenant Butler was suffering severely, volunteered to carry him out of the fring line. This gallant feat he successfully accomplished, but, I regret to say, was very dangerously wounded in so doing. The Ninth Regiment was fighting somewhat outside my sphere of action, so I am able to bring forward only one {nstance of personal gal- Jantry in that regfment, although, circum- stanced as they were, fighting for about twelve hours almost alone and unsupported, and rever giving back a foot of ground until di- rected to retire under cover of the night and the fire of the naval guns, such instances must have been very numerous. The one I would refer to Is the bringing back to me by the acting regimental adjutant, Captain Law- ton, of the account of the position of the regi- ment across a wide and fire-swept space, and Tetyrning with reinforcements to guide them to his regiment when he was severely wound- ed. The withdrawal of the regiment was a delicate overation, finely carried out, on which | I congratulate Lieutenant Colonel Coolidge and | the officers and men under his command. the men, although very south gate having been nto the walled city at who re- bs.
