Lieutenant J. Hills was on piquet duty, with two guns, at the mound to the right of the camp. About 1 1 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 nosition assigned in case of alarm, but, before he reached the spot, he saw the enemj' 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 woanded with his
pistol ; he caught the lance of the second in his left hand, and wounded him with his sword; 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 mau 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 ; be first cut at Lieutenant Hills who parried the blow, and he
then turned on Major Tombs, who received the blow in the same manner. His second attack onthe Lieutenant was
more successful, as he was cut down with a bad sword-cut on the head, and would have been, no doubt, killed, had
not Major Tombs rushed in and put his sword through the man.' — Extract from Despatch of Lt. Colonel M. Mackenzie,
