The 13th and 17th demi-brigades from Les Cayes reached Port-au-Prince, and Gérin entered the city the next day.

Haitian

Lys had arrived at Les Cayes. At the mere news of the dangers with which Port-au-Prince was threatened, the population had risen to its feet. The 13th and 17th demi-brigades had set out on the march.
