| D Company Pushes across the Swamp |
2/IR 13 pushes across the swamp and surges along Atwater pushing 4th Company steadily backwards. Back at the Lourenco farm, Major Wiggins arrives to organize the final line f defense as the Slobobian Grenadiers also press ahead through the thick woods.

| Dragoons arriving and dismounting |
In a bid to avert total defeat a squadron of dragoons launches a dismounted assault south into the woods to check the grenadiers advance.
Wiggins is wounded in the final fighting. The Slobobian assault finally peters out (for now) in the woods surrounding the farm, but the position is tenuous enough that, as word gets back to Brigade headquarters, a general withdrawal is ordered. With dusk approaching, Wasserman abandons the Bethany position.
