The attack was almost unopposed.

The tribesmen imagined that we were again going to attack their former position, and they were unable to return in time to defend the village.

Their loss, however, was severe, as they came down to the open ground, and were swept by the guns of the mountain battery.
A few days afterwards the campaign was brought to an end, the enemy coming in and offering a general surrender.

The expedition had been very successful, twenty-six villages having been destroyed, and all the hoards of grain having been carried off.
On the 13th of October the Mamund valley was evacuated, and the force moved into Matassa.

The inhabitants here were perfectly peaceable and, beyond the blowing up of the fort of a chief, who had continued hostile, there was no fighting.
