The Hadda Mullah had fled, directly the fight began; but the Suffi Mullah was seen constantly rallying his followers.
On the following morning, General Westmacott's brigade marched to a village situated at the mouth of the Jarobi gorge--a terrible defile, with precipitous cliffs on either side, the crests of which were well wooded.

The resistance, however, was slight, and the force pushed through and burned the houses, towers, and forts of the Hadda Mullah.

They were harassed, however, on their return to camp.
In the meantime, Sir Bindon Blood had joined General Jeffreys' brigade, which was still engaged in operations against the Mamunds.
Several villages were burned, and large supplies of game and fodder carried off.

The Mamunds at last sent in a party to negotiate; but it soon appeared that they had no intention of surrendering, for they had been joined by a considerable number of Afghans, and were ready for a fresh campaign.

The Afghan borderers were in a good position, and were able to bring their forces to the assistance of the Mamunds with the assurance that, if they were repulsed, they could return to their homes.
General Jeffreys therefore recommenced operations, by an attack upon two fortified villages.
