A History of the Mahrattas v2.c37.32

v2.c37.32

Of the regular troops not a man was touched, but fifteen of the Candahar Horse fell in the charge. The loss of the Mahrattas was supposed to be considerable; and General Goddard imagined he had gained a victory; but as soon as he had encamped, Sindia took up the same distance as before, observing a greater vigilance in guarding against surprise. On the 14th Colonel (Apr. 14.) Browne, with the Madras troops, joined, and General Goddard on the 19th made another attempt on Sindia’s camp, but the Mahrattas only waited until he came within sufficient distance, when they let off a flight of rockets and retired as before.
