Three miles away a gorge opened into the Rajgul valley, and it appeared that, beyond this, lay Wira valley.
All the summits were strongly picketed.

Night fell, and there was no sign of the baggage.

The troops were wet to the waist, there were seventeen degrees of frost, and the men had neither blankets nor food.
When morning broke there were still no signs of baggage, but at eleven it began to appear.

At noon fighting began again, and the rest of the train did not arrive till about five o'clock.

Fighting had been incessant the whole day.
