Staff officers galloped up to stop the scuffle. Called to attcrtion by the bugle, the dragoons looked at each other in amazement, â€" scarcely understanding what had happened. Fifty horses were struggling on the ground, and many of them were so seriously hurt that they had to be shot. The worst accident happened to one of the subalterns of the Hessians, A Bavarian dragoon, maddened by the excitement of the charge, and unable to pull up his horse, inadvertently drove his lance through the lieutenant‘s body. Every officer of the brigadier‘s staff was swept off his horse, and some of them were seriously injured. In the excitement mary of the Hessians drew their swords to defend themselves, and some nasty wounds were infliected. A lieutenant had his leg broken. CIRCUS MEN HOME. To their horror, the Bavarians did not change front. They crashed at full speed into the Hessian line. Horses and men were thrown into confusion. Many on both sides were hurled to the ground.

Owing to some confusion the Balaclava blunder was repeated. The instruction was misâ€" interpreted as an order to charge the Hessians. i The Bavarian charged madly across the plain, cheering and waving their swords and lances.
