Accompanied by Lieut. Coghill, Lieut. Melvill rode off with the colour. Both Officers reached the Buffalo river although, owing to the badness of the track, the Zalus kept up with them and continued throwing spears at them.

The river was in flood and at any other time would have been considered impassable. They plung ed their borses in, but whilst Coghill got across Melvill, endum. bared by the colour, was washed off his horse. Coghill at once rode back into the river to his assistance but the current was too strong and both officers were under heavy fire from Zulus on the bank.
