Strana 92 - Duncan's battery, thrown forward in advance of the line, was doing good execution at this time. Captain May's squadron was now detached to support that battery and the left of our position. The Mexican cavalry, with two pieces of artillery, were now reported to be moving through the chaparal to our right, to threaten that flank, or make a demonstration against the train.
Strana 217 - Divers noises were also heard in the room where the corpse lay, as the clattering of chairs and stools, whereof no account could be given.
