The second shell killed the guide and his horse and wounded Sergeant HOSE, who, however, remainined, kept control of the teams and led them away from the shelling at a trot, to a safe position about half a mile away. On being lifted from his horse Sergeant HOSE was found to have sustained severe wounds in the leg, forearm and side and is now in a serious condition. He set a very fine example to the men, and by his prompt action prevented further casualties.'
