The close underwood, the ravines and fallen trees, favored the Indians and while the bravest of their warriors fought from behind these coverts, others were throwing their dead into the Ohio, and carrying off their wounded. In their slow retreat, the Indians, about one o'clock, gained hermes handbags a very advantageous position, from which it appeared to our officers so difficult to dislodge them, that it was deemed advisable to maintain the line as then formed, which was about a mile and a quarter in length.
In this position, the. action was continued, with more or less severity, until sundown, when, night coming on, hermes bags the Indians effected a safe retreat.* McClung, in his valuable Sketches of Western Adventure, in describing this sanguinary battle, speaks of the Indians fighting from behind a breastwork Stone, in his Life of Brant, says the Indians were forced to avail themselves of a rude breastwork of logs and brushwood, which they had taken hermes birkin the precaution to construct hermes kelly for the occasion.

It is probable that the number did not exceed eight hundred.
