This, however, was not accomplished so quietly; some of Herry's men resisted, and the sergeant, who was mounted, was nearly pierced with an assegai. He avoided the missile, and with his gun wounded the Hottentoo in the legs, giving him a charge of shot; another he wounded in the eye with a pistol bullet, who fell down at once.
