The Retreat From Kumasi

A TRYING AND TERRIBLE JOUUNRY Reuters tepresontative in Lonrlon, has had an interview with an officf r who has just arrived from Kumasi. He was with the relief force which fought ite way from the North into the capital, was besieged wiih tho Governor in Kumasi itself, and was with those who succeeded in cutting their way out, and on'y rerched tho coast after heavy fighting. Dealing first with the reraatkable march from tbe North into Kumasi, the officer referred to said : — "On April 18 the first reports reached the British garrison at Gam baga of trouble with tbe Asbantia, and immediately Mojor A Morris, the Com missioner of the Northern Territories, who was in command at headquarters, commenced preparations to march to Kumasi, 340 miles to the south. " Early on the morning of May 15 scoots brought in word that a strong Ashanti ambush had been prepared in front of us, and shortly afterwards we saw an ugly stockade right across the road. The seven-pounder was at once brought into action to draw the enemy's fire, and in a few minutes tbe Ashantis replied with volleys from all directions, In about an hour the fusillade ceased, except from behind the stockade, which Major Morris decided must be rushed without delay, The gtockado was eventually taken, with the loss of Major Morris and 15 Housa9 wounded, and at three o'clock the same afternoon Kumasi was reached, Mojor Morris continuing to direct the operations from bis ham mock, although in intense pain, with intervals of unconsciousness. Daring the day's fighting we had killed several hundred Ashantis, including a nutn ber of important chiefs. We found that Kucpasi was invested on every side. Both ammunition and food were lapidly giving oat, and soon we became very hard pressed indeed, At the time the column with the Governor cufe its way out, rations had been reduced to a biscuit and a half per day and 5 cz of moat. Nothing else of any description was to be had, and the naval civilians were dying of starvation at the rate of 30 to 40 a day. Tho few luxuries ob tainable at the beginning of the seige were sold by the native traders at a ridiculous prices—biscuits 10s each, matches 2s a box ; 71b tin of flour 6s ; a small tin of corn beef, £2 18^ whiaky 23 a spoonful, were some of the prices readily paid for as long as the3e luxur ies lastedj but these soon gave out. Our five ponies had to be killed for food and on the day we left Kumasi there were only three and a half day's rations on the minimum scale for the whole garrison. It just became a question whether it would not ba better to so reduce the garrison bo that the supply of food would last for 24 days than for the whole force to remain with nothing before it but starvation in three and a half day's time so Major Morris decided to get out s leaving a sufficient forca to hold the place until \ relief came. I ♦: On May 30 a further reduction of rations waa ordered, and every day matters steadily went from bad to worse, until it waa decided to partially evacuate the place. Every road was eagerly watched by the enemy, but' after infinite trouble Major Morris succeeded in discovering a track by which he hoped to be able to get oat of tho town, This was kept a close secret, and until ten o'clock on the night pre vious to their departure ifc was not known that an attempt to get out wan imminent. The column moved out of Kumassi at five o'clock on the morn ing of Saturday, June 23rd, Fortuna tely them was a heavy mist. With the force were the Governor and Lady Hodgson, the Basel missionaries and their wives, two mining engineeis, and a number of officer?, doctor?, and others. We had with us GOO Hausas of all ranks. There were about 800 non-combatante, and also 1000 native civilians following behind tbe rear guard. The whole column was two miles in length, tho ladies being in the centre, surrounded by a special guard. An hour after the start, while wading through the swamps, the advance guard became engaged at the Patase stockade. Captain Leggettwaa severely wounded, and we had four men killed and nine wounded, but ftfter heavy firing the Btockade was turned by a' fiUnk attack, A road wns cut through the stockade for tho ham mocks and loads, and as the Ashantis were on the run ifc was of vita! import- j ance to push on before the enemy were i reinforced. During the whole day we continually encountered bands of Ashantiß. Fighting continued all day, and Oaptain Marshall and Dr Graham were wounded, We baited eighteen miles from Kumasi, in the village of Tereboum, whence the Ashantis were driven after a few Boots, and round which place we formed square. To increase our diffi culties a terrific tornado broke upon us, and lasted throughout the night. The scene was a remarkable one. Ths rush of the water and the howling of the natives were incessant, while there were nearly 3000 people packed within the sqaare in a village not 120 yda in circumference. Next morning the column proceeded through dense fores'-, and encamped for toe night at Masiasu 30 miles from Kumas'. Our rearguard had some fighting with the Ashantis, and lost six m~n killed and several wounded. During the uext few days the advance through the dense jungle vas most difficult, and the suffering of the wounded very great. Gradually we got out of the enemy's country, and it bfcame increasingly plain that, owing to Major Morris' tactics, the enemy would not be able to catch us up. On Juno 28 Captain Marshall became worse, and in the evening ef that day he died. He was buried in his ham mock by the side of the track s Major Morris reading the service. On the following day Oaptain Leggett breathed his last. The sufierings of all, espe cially the wounded, were terrible, and the swampa and deep rivers, together with tho torrential rain?, increased our hardships. "Most of us had only the clothes we wore, as the carriers had lost our loads. Gradually, however, we got into friendly country, and all, more dtad than alive, eventually reached Oape Ooaston July 11, after a never-to-be-forgotten march of nearly three weeks from Kumasi.'
