Note 54 — SIEGE OF ST. SEBASTIAN. August and September, 1813.

Just before the assault was given, a sergeant of the 28th. regiment, named Bull, being sent with a party to the coast from Roncesvalles, to make purchases for the officers, placed the money entrusted to him, 2000 dollars, with a Commissary, and took a receipt. He then persuaded his party to join the stormers, so, as he said, that the ‘Slashers’ should be represented, and took part in the assault, which he survived, reclaimed his money, made his purchases, and rejoined his regiment. Singularly this gallant little party did not sustain any loss.
