melee

I had time during the mêlée to take note of the actions of General Forrest, and I observed that a great change had come over him.

As near as they could make out, they had accounted for eight of the enemy, four in the mêlée just finished.

Into this wild mêlée Jack plunged, closely followed by his friend Harry.

Meanwhile, the youngsters were in a mêlée with the two dogs.

Then it was that they had time to observe what had escaped their notice in the rough-and-tumble of the mêlée.
