A wounded man means six men out of the fighting line--four to carry him, and one to take charge of their rifles.

A few casualties greatly reduce the fighting strength of the party.
In European warfare this would not take place, as the wounded would be left behind, and would be cared for by the enemy.
The next day representatives of all the Orakzai tribes came in, and asked for terms.

They were told that they must restore all stolen property, give up five hundred rifles, and pay a fine of thirty thousand rupees, and the cost of rebuilding the post they had destroyed.

Representatives of three other tribes also came in, and similar terms were imposed upon them.

Two of these, the Kambar-Khels and the Malikdins, were in the habit of migrating to British territory in cold weather; but the Kuki-Khels sent their families and goods, in winter quarters, to the Bara valley.
