Several soldiers ran to the house to help their comrades but this time we heard the regular volley of the workmen of our host.

They fired as though in a manoeuvre calmly and accurately.

Five Red soldiers lay on the road, while the rest now kept to their ditch.

Before long we discovered that they began crouching and crawling out toward the end of the ditch nearest the wood where they had left their horses.

The sounds of shots became more and more distant and soon we saw fifty or sixty Tartars pursuing the Reds across the meadow.
Two days we rested here on the Seybi.
