Only a fe>y of his troops had come up so close to the fiver, as to be seen from the ofpposite side ythe bal- iiicft-remaiteei concealed by the ugoods in I^p rear* Captain Wickliffe was therefore directed toircmain on the grouiwl with 100 men, and tomakieas greatashew of encatnping as' possible, while the main .body was secretly marched off towards Malcolm's mill, in Which directioto he was to pursue them, after remaining two jbours at Grand ri^€r. This manoeuvre had'tlic de- 'sired eitect. A part of the men left on the ground kept up a galling and efBcient fire on the Ipdians frpm tte ferry bouse, while the others pretended to be forming an encampment, by which means the enemy were kept 'firom pursuing and barrassing the main body. • ' General M* Arthur arrived A sight of the enemy near 'llfalcoilin's mill about 4 o'clotk in the.eveniiig.
