The mosque was not interfered with.
It was thought that, as such little opposition was offered in the last pass, the enemy had lost all heart; but a foraging party, the next day, found the tribesmen in great force at the other end of the valley, and were compelled to retire.

Another party of the enemy attempted to rush a picket of the 36th Sikhs; and a strong force pounced upon the baggage train, and killed several of the drivers; then, retiring till the main guard had passed, dashed out again and killed three of the guards, and wounded several others.
For the present, no damage was done to the homesteads; as it was hoped that the Afridis would come in and surrender.

Next day a foraging party was hotly attacked and, at night, there was severe fighting round the camp.

A party of elders came in, to ask what terms would be given; and were told that the tribesmen would have to deliver up their rifles, and pay a heavy fine.

It was evident, from their manner, that although they would be ready to pay a fine, they would certainly not deliver up their rifles.
The troops had now settled down comfortably.
