18.10.9
Luckily for him, there fell such a fog and mist, of the kind called in Hindian, cohessa, and it occasioned such a darkness, that two men, though ever so close, could not distinguish each other. This darkness made the enemy mistake their way, as well as Seradj-ed-doulah's private enclosure; so that this Prince escaped narrowly. It was observed of the English, that they marched steadily, with order and deliberation, as if it had been a review day, firing endlessly on every side, until they arrived at the front of the camp, from whence they returned leisurely to their posts and fortified houses, without suffering the loss of a single man.
