Whether OAneral Cord n was 11 m isoner in tho hands off tho Malirti or whetli r tio had tech killo.1 in tho battle he did n<>t learn. When Colonel Wilson found that kbartonm was in tho hands of tlie emmiy ho concluded that it would not bo tvlso for him to attempt to land, and he started ut oticoon his rcturd <lown tho river Howard tJuhat.
