seven o'clock
The Egyptians advanced with steady volleys . The Baggara horsemen attacked them furiously , but were repulsed with heavy loss . There was hand-to-hand fighting among their huts ; and the second brigade carried , with the bayonet , that rough hill that you see over there . `` It was all over , by seven o'clock . Our loss was only twenty killed , and eighty wounded . About one thousand of the Dervishes were killed , including their chief Emir and some forty of the others , while five hundred were taken prisoners . It was a great victory , and a very important one ; but it can hardly be said that it was glorious , as we outnumbered them by three to one .
