three o'clock
The streets of Futtehpore were absolutely choked with the baggage train of the defeated rebels , and the discovery of many articles of attire of English ladies and children raised the fury of the troops to the highest point . Pursuit of the enemy was , however , impossible . The troops were utterly exhausted , and officers and men threw themselves down where-ever a little shade could be found . At three o'clock the baggage came up , and by the forethought of the commissariat officer in charge some camels laden with rum and biscuit came up with it , so that the men were able to have a biscuit and a little spirits and water , which revived them ; for whatever be the demerits of spirits upon ordinary occasions , on an emergency of this kind it is a restorative of a very valuable kind . Singularly enough , in this battle , in which thirty-five hundred men were defeated and twelve guns captured , not a single British soldier was killed , the enemy never waiting until fairly within shot . Twelve soldiers , however , fell and died from sunstroke during the fight . On the 13th the troops halted to rest .
