convinced me that he was quite right.. Some 1 years acquaintance
with the Chinese character, and the poor efforts that the enemy
had made on the previous day, together with the knowledge that
they were not well armed, must have shown him that the true
tactics in dealing with a Chinese foe were to attack and pursue
till their flight had made immediate concentration for concerted
action impossible.
Lieut. Barrett also fulfilled his duties with ability
and courage. As for the Indian Officers and Soldiers of the
Hong Kong Regiment, their courage and Military bearing under a
heavy fire deserve the highest praise, and their natural qualities
as hillmen have made them admirable soldiers for frontier warfare
in this mountainous region.
Captain Simonds' force of 4 guns with escort unfortunately
took no part in the evening's action, having gone to
Fanting under a mistaken appreciation of the enemy's intention;
his guns replied to the enemy's in the early part of the day
when close to Taipo Camp, and compelled him to move his Artillery
from the Wa Mi Hills. I append Captain Simonds' report for
Your Excellency's information.
It is impossible to render even an approximate estimate
of the enemy's casualties, for Chinamen always carry away
their wounded and dead.
