The combat now became a trial of skill in sharp-shooting, on the issue of which life or death was suspended.

The overwhelming superiority of the Indians, as to numbers, left little room for hope on the part of the English.

Every instant they were shot down behind their retreats, until nearly their whole number perished.

The dead, the dying, the wounded strewed the ground in every direction.

Out of nearly one hundred, including the teamsters, not more than seven or eight escaped from the bloody spot.
