in case of alarm, and for noble behaviour on the part
of Major Tombs in twice coming to his Subaltern's
rescue, and on each occasion killing his man. — Yes-
terday,the 9th July 1857, Lieutenant J. Hills was on
piquet duty, with two guns, at the mound to the
right of the camp. About 11 o'clock a.m. there was
a rumour that the enemy's cavalry were coming down
on his post. Lieutenant Hills proceeded to take up
the position assigned in case of alarm, but, before
he reached the spot, he saw the enemy close upon his
guns before they had time to form up. To enable him
to do this, he boldly charged, single-handed, the
head of the enemy's column, cut down the first man,
struck the second, and was then ridden down, horse
and all. On getting up and searching for his sword,
three more men came at him (two mounted) ; the first
man he wounded with his pistol ; he caught the lance
of the second in his left hand, and wounded him with
his swora ; the first man then came on again, and
was cut down; the third man (on foot) then came up,
and wrenched the sword from Lieutenant Hills, who-
fell in the struggle, and the enemy was about to cut
him down when Major Tombs, who had gone up to
visit his two guns, saw what was going on, rushed in
and shot the man and saved Lieutenant Hills. By
this time the enemy's cavalry had passed by, and
Major Tombs and Lieutenant Hills went to look after
the wounded men, when one of the enemy passed with
Lieutenant Hills' pistol; he first cut at Lieutenant
Hills who parried the blow, and then turned on
Major Tombs, who received the blow in the same
manner. His second attack on the Lieutenant was
more successful, as he was cut down with a bad
sword-cut on tlie head, and would have been, no
doubt, killed, had not Major Tombs rushed in and
put his sword through the man.'— Extract from Des-
