After a day of rest in the valley, orders were issued for the 3rd and 4th Brigades to move, at daybreak.

The 2nd Brigade was to follow, the 1st being left to garrison the camp.

The path was across a low ridge connecting higher ones, and offered no great facilities for resistance, and was overcome with the exchange of a few shots, only.
From the top of the Karanghur Pass was seen the valley of Maidan, the spot which the Afridis were wont to boast no infidel had ever gazed upon.

The view was magnificent.

From the foot of the slope stretched a valley, broken here and there by ravines and nullahs.
Every inch of it seemed to be cultivated; and it was one wide expanse of terraced fields, sprinkled with groves and dotted with countless habitations.
