But I did not succeed, for as I stopped them at one point others galloped past me, and I was thus kept dodging from point to point, until the whole commando was out of range of the firing.
The leader of the enemy's storming party was Colonel Le Gallais, without doubt one of the bravest English officers I have ever met.

On this occasion he did not encounter much resistance, for only a very few of the burghers attacked him, and that only at one point of his position.
Among these burghers were Staats-Procureur Jacob De Villiers, and Veldtcornet Jan Viljoen.

As for the rest of our men, it was useless to try to get them to come back to the fight.

The gunners however did everything they could to save their guns, but had not enough time to get the oxen inspanned.
Our loss was, as far as I could make out, nine killed, between twenty and thirty wounded, and about one hundred prisoners.

Among the dead were Veldtcornets Jan Viljoen, of Heilbron, and Van Zijl, of Cape Colony; and among the wounded, Staats-Procureur Jacob De Villiers and Jan Rechter, the latter of whom subsequently died.
