Christophe withdrew from Petite-Anse and joined the insurgents with about 600 men.

Christophe, who had remained a willing spectator of the combat, “fearing no doubt,” says the *Gazette officielle* already cited, “the punishment he had deserved,” but more probably yielding to some message from Pétion, withdrew from Petite-Anse in the night of 24 to 25 (16 to 17 October) (1) and thus came, tardily, to unite with the insurgents, bringing with him the remnants of the 1st, 2nd and 5th, which formed his brigade and whose strength amounted to about 600 men.
