The command having been driven from the works, he, having been left alone between the
opposing lines, crept back into the works, put 3 charges of canister in one of the guns,
and fired the piece directly into a body of the enemy about to seize the works; he then
rejoined his command, took the colors, and ran toward the enemy, followed by the command,
which recaptured the works and guns.
