Seeing the enemy advancing in strength, he galloped his troop forward, and occupied a cutting in advance of the infantry firing line. He opened fire on the advancing enemy, and by his bold simulation of the strength checked their advance, and compelled them to dig in. He showed splendid courage and initiative.
