Captain Hume was hloion np hy a shell, but was not severely wounded. Lieutenant J. R. Hume, his brother, was badly but not dangerously wounded. Lieutenant Johnson was wounded, and was also baj^oneted by a Russian, who threw his fii-elock at him. The remaining officers, Captain Werge (Brigade-Major), Captain Rocksby, Lieutenants Elton, Harkness, and Burke (Adjutant), were not touched, nor was Acting Assistant-Surgeon Fane, who went down Avith the regiment to the fifth parallel. The regiment went out less than 400 strong, and suffijred a loss of \'iO officers and men killed and wounded. The gallant 62nd went into action 245 of all ranks. They were formed into two companies, with four officers to each, and the Colonel, Major, Adjutant, and Acting Assistant-Surgeon O'Callaghan, and formed part of the storming party.
Colonel Tyler was hit in the hand crossing the open space in front of the Redan, and retired. Lieutenant Blakeston was shot in the very act of getting in through an embrasure of the Redan. Lieutenant Davenport was shot through the nose. On the parapet two officers were killed or died of their wounds, and four officers were wounded out of a total of eleven; three sergeants wei'e killed and four wounded out of sixteen, one drummer was killed out of eight, and fourteen rank and file were killed, and seventy-five were wounded out of 210. Such was this heavy day. To show how it fell on our allies I may give the following fact. The 15th regiment, Colonel Garrain, went into action 900 strong against the Little Redan, and came out 310.
The two Chefs de Bataillon were killed, eleven officers were killed, and nineteen officers were wounded. It Avas observed that an immense number of the Russian dead in the front Avere -officers. THE RETREAT. IGl The " Vladimir" behaved admirably on Sunday. She took up a position within range of the French battery at Inkerniann. She was not safe anywhere, and stem on let the shot pass ovei* her till I was tired of seeing them miss her. Our attack lasted about an hour and three-quarters, as well as I could mak(! out, and in that time we lost more men than at Inkermann, where the fighting lasted for seven hours. At 1'48 p.m., which was alwut the time we retired, there was an explosion either of a tumbrel or of a fougasse between the Mamelon and the Malalchofi', to the right, which seemed to blow up several Frenchmen, and soon afterwards the artillery of the Imperial Guard swept across from the rear towards the Little Kedan, and gave us an indication that our allies had gained a position from which they could operate against the enemy with their field pieces.
From the opening of the attack the French batteries over Careening Bay had not ceased to thunder against the Russian fleet, which lay silently at anchor below, and a lively cannonade was kept up between them and the Inkermann batteries till the evening, which was interrupted every now and then by the intervention of the English redoubt, and the late Selinghinsk and Volhynia redoubts, which engaged the Russian batteries at the extremity of the harbour. At one o'clock wounded men began to crawl up from the batteries to the camp; they could tell us little or nothing. " Were we in the Redan?" " Oh, yes; but a lot of them had been killed, and the Russians Avere mighty strong." Some were cheerful, others desponding; all seemed proud of their wounds.
HaLfan-hour more, and the number of wounded increased; they came up by twos and threes, and — what I had observed before as a bad sign — the number of stragglers accompanying them, under the pretence of rendering assistance, became greater also. Then the ambulances and the cacolets (or mule litters) came in sight along the Woronzolf-road filled with wounded. Every ten minutes added to their numbers, and we could see that every effort was made to hurry them down to the front as soon as they were ready for a fresh load. The litter-bearers now added to the length of the melancholy train. We heard that the temporary hospitals in front were full, and that the surgeons were beginning to get anxious about the extent of their accommodation lor the wounded.
