The fugitives rallied — Surrounded and overwhelmed by fuperior numbers, Douglas fell, while attempting to refcuexfir William St. Clare, of Roilin, who fhared his fate. Robert and Walter Logan, both of them knights, were flain with Douglas. His friend fir 'William Keith, having had his arm broke, was detained from the battle. His few furviving companions found his body in the field, together with the caiket, and reverently conveyed them to Scotland. The remains of Douglas were interred in the fepulchre of his fathers, in the church of Douglas, and the heart of Bruce was dcpofited at Melros.
