Through Three Campaigns

CHAPTER 9: Captured
10/33

The other Maidan tribes would probably have come in at the same time, but for their fear of the Zakka-Khels.
There was trouble the next day in the Mastura valley, where two officers and four men were wounded.

The following night the camp was fired into, by an enemy who had crept within a hundred and fifty yards of it.

News came that General Kempster, with his detached brigade, had met with little opposition; and his search over the hills showed that the Zakka-Khels, in that direction, were severely punished.
On the 13th, the 3rd Brigade left the camp to cross the Kotal towards Saransur.

Except for a few long-range shots, there was no opposition.

Next day a Mullah's house was destroyed, documents found there showing that he had taken a vigorous part in the rising.
Two days later the brigade started on their return march.
