A History of the Mahrattas v2.c34.15

v2.c34.15

Before the army arrived at Mahtur they had two partial actions with Hurry Punt; the first took place on the 28th April at the village of Ussaumlee, and was entirely maintained by the English detachment with very trifling loss; the second was four days afterwards, when fifty or sixty of Rugoba’s army were killed or wounded, a loss which dispirited them ever after; but the enemy experienced a much greater, having made an attempt on the left of the English line, where they met with a severe repulse.
