14 European officers were killed, and one hundred and cficers killed
15 one wounded. The small number killed in com- earn
16 parison with those wounded, is to be accounted for
17 from the wounds being chiefly inflicted by musket-
18 bullets, instead of cannon-shot and grape, though
19 it must not be supposed that great numbers were
20 not struck by the latter, and many no doubt were
21 killed and wounded by them.

23 only thirty wounded.

25 cers, rank and file, exhibits 301 killed, and 1913
26 wounded,
