in spite of the soaking rain. I forgot to mention the wounded; one, - sergeant of Fraser's division, - in the shoulder; one Arawa, -in the scalp.

Richmond. P.S. Telegraph this to Haultain. Send back steamer as quickly as possible. Do not detain for biscuit; but ship if possible without deferring her return.
