Their object was to attack a strongly-fortified village on the eastern side of the valley, about six miles distant from the camp.

When they were within two thousand yards of the enemy's position, the tribesmen could be seen, making their disposition for the attack.
The Sikhs, Dogras, and Buffs stormed the heights on either side; but the enemy made no attempt to stand.

The Guides advanced straight on the village, which was destroyed without loss.

The grain found there was carried into camp.

Several other villages were captured and, though the enemy were several times gathered in force, the appearance of a squadron of Bengal Lancers, in every case, put them to flight.
In the meantime, the 3rd Brigade were encamped at Nawagai.
