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.
