configuration of the country favored cover and our casualties were few. I regret to say that Major Brown, R.A.M.C. was slightly wounded in the right upper arm by a spent bullet. He returned to camp at Taipo at 11 p.m., making light of his wound which rendered his return to Hong Kong necessary and I now hear has been very painful.
Captain Berger's Force captured 5 guns and utterly routed the Chinese, who fled over the Lam Tsun pass and on to Sheung Shui Ts'un at the head of the Pat Heung Valley where Berger, still pursuing, lost touch with them and bivouacked for the night.
At 8 p.m. Captain Simonds sent me a messenger asking for food for 3 British Officers and 120 Indian soldiers, also for one blanket per man. I sent these things by coolies under a fairly strong escort. At 8.30 Berger applied for ammunition by signal message. I saw that he must have ammunition at all costs as he was in the heart of the enemy's country, so I got 40 soldiers of the Hong Kong Regiment, 11 Sikh policemen and all the coolies I could muster and despatched the lot under Mr. May, Captain Superintendent of Police, who had very kindly volunteered to proceed in charge.
My camp had now only 16 soldiers left in it, so I signalled to Commander Davison, R.N. of H.M.S. Humber in the Harbour, to land an armed party for its protection.
