The history of General Sir Charles Napier's administration of Scinde, and campaign in the Cutchee Hills . y the general made for the scene of action withhis Mogul escort, leaving orders for a regiment of irregularcavalry to follow; for that such a daring attack, so closeto his camp, would not have happened unless a refuge wasat hand he felt assured, and that refuge could only beTrukkee.

This advice, agreeing withwhat had just occurred, was confirmed by the ambassadorsfrom the Murrees, and Sir C. Napier, seeing he hadthe game at last in his hands, instantly detached thecamel corps and the volunteers of the 13th regiment,
