The loss of the two officers, who were both extremely popular, was greatly felt by the force.
The infantry and guns now having arrived, the enemy retired to a village, two miles in the rear.

Here they were attacked by a squadron of the Guides, who dispersed them and drove them up into the hills.

In the meantime our camp had been attacked, but the guard repulsed the assailants, with some loss.
The enemy had lost so heavily that they scattered to the villages, and sent in to make their submission.

This fight effectually cooled the courage of the natives, and the column marched through their country unopposed, and the tribesmen remained comparatively quiet during the after events..
