It became quite apparent that the game would be closely fought.

Mann kept on worrying old Nyren to let him go in, and although he became quite indignant at his constant refusal, our General knew what he was about in keeping him back.

At length, when the last but one was out, he sent Mann in, and there were then ten runs to get.

The sensation now all over the ground was greater than anything of the kind I ever witnessed before or since.

All knew the state of the game, and many thousands were hanging upon this narrow point.
