Henly desperately wounded and then Sir Arthur after a close engagement with Nugent the Bullets flying thick about him was forced to retreat as gallantly as Col. Nugent's Attempt was great The Business being over on viewing the Body of Capt. Henly being strangely mangled Col. Nugent observed him to move and asking whether he was not dead Capt. Henly said he was not and therefore desired honourable Quarters which was given and he sent to the Hospital near Colrain and well recovered of his Wounds by the particular Directions of Col. Nugent and the Lord of Duntreath either out of fear or vexation that the Army was broken died at Kilmore This News of the Enemies passing the River coming to Col. Lundy the Governor of London-Derry he forthwith ordered all the Forces at and about Colrain to march into the Laggan and to quit the Garrison of Colrain although it might have been kept for a considerable time but his Orders were observed and all the Forces marched to London-Derry burning and destroying all the Country between Colrain and Derry before them where Col. Lundy assured the Army that they should fight the Enemy very soon and to that end a Proclamation was set forth which very much encouraged both Officers and Soldiers Within some few days the Enemy began to appear on the other side of the River of Derry which was not much regarded or taken notice of but within two days the whole Army was observed to march towards Strabawne of which Col. Lundy had a full account and was advised that the Enemy could not stay in that Country which was ruined before by the Protestant Army and therefore must of necessity press and force their way into the Laggan being a plentiful Countrey wherefore Col. Lundy was desired to march even with the Enemy on the one side of the River that they may be at the Passes as soon or sooner than the Enemy and if Lifford Claydy and Fin-Waters were secured there was no danger of the Enemy getting into that good Country where the whole Army may be maintain'd till Relief came out of England but these Reasons made no sound in his ears or at least seemed little to regard them and suffered the Enemy to have a days March before him so that when he had ordered some few Regiments of Foot to secure these Passes the Enemies whole Body were drawn up near these Places and broke in at Claydy-Ford whether upon a Sign from Col. Lundy or not I cannot positively say and then Col. Lundy fled crying out You are all cut off shift for your selves suffering about two hundred of the Protestants to be cut off he making his way to London-Derry and indeed the whole Regiment posted at Lifford had certainly been lost had not some Gentlemen of greater Courage or more honesty made a a halt with the Horse and brought up the Foot after the loss of 100 of them and then according to Col. Lundy's Directions all the Army marched with what haste they could to Derry but when they came there the Gates were shut and about 8000 kept out of the Walls and dispersed about the Country so that if the Enemy had pursued all these poor Souls might have been lost but as it was many of them were lost for they made down to Evishein where several of them were killed as well by the Rabble of the Country as the Army besides getting a great many good Arms. When the Enemies Horse and Foot that were drawn up at Claydy observed the Protestants to run the Horse eagerly pressed over by swimming the River dragging the Foot by Tail and Mane after them very few being lost save only Major Robert Nangle and two Troopers drowned The next day and as all looked upon as a great Providence Col. Cunningham and Col. Richards appeared in Loghfoyle about four miles from the Town with nine Sail and a Man of War which brought over two Regiments for the Relief of Derry This indeed comforted the People but alas it was to little purpose for as soon as Col. Cunningham and Richards came up to the Town Col. Lundy assured them there was not ten days Provision in the Garrison and thereupon a Council of War was called and 't was concluded that the Town was not tenable for want of Provisions Upon which Cunningham and Richards immediately returned to their Men on board and waited two days to bring off Col. Lundy leaving the Town to make Conditions for themselves having before brought off most of the considerable men of the Army who neither through fear or disaffection to the Cause they had espoused left the Place but meerly cheated and deluded by this blind Council of War. This sudden Resolution of the Relief going back amazed the Town and especially those who knew nothing of the Design and the Town being in a good condition both as to Provision and a considerable Army both of Horse and Foot in it sent three several Messengers to Col. Cunningham and Richards That if they would accept of the Garrison and secure it for Their present Majesties what Horse and Foot were in Town would take the Field and leave the Town to themselves for in that time they were in a condition to do it but they returned no Answer nor did the Messengers return ever since While Col. Cunningham and Richards were in the Logh the late King James marched all his Forces within a small way of London-Derry and thought to get the Garrison without the least opposition but upon his approach the Townsmen gave him a warm Salute with their great Guns and kill'd Three of his Horse with a Cannon-Ball which put a stop to his Career Col. Lundy observing how violent the men were sent Col. Thomas Whitney round the Walls to command the men not to fire any more which Orders the said Whitney delivered but had he not made soon off he had certainly been thrown over the Walls Col Lundy finding how resolute the men were resolved to let them take their own Measures and within some few hours after the Earl of Abbercorne was sent with a Parly from the late King for to surrender permitting them their Lives Estates Religion and a free Pardon for all Offences past but all this would not work with the People who utterly denied to surrender on any Conditions Col. Lundy seeing this way would not do what he designed as the Town had strong Presumptions to believe it seems the Key of the Ferry-Gate was lost and the Gun before the Gate uncharged and the Gunner not to be found this being discovered the whole Town was allarm'd and every man repair'd to the Wall and Col Murray appointed Governor that night upon which Col. Lundy secur'd himself in his House under a Guard of his own Red-coats fearing the Soldiers of the Town would use violence against him The next day it appearing that Col. Lundy had absconded the Town unanimously chose Mr. George Walker Clerk and Lieut. Hen. Baker their Governors and Col. Murray
