"The Third March brought us to Shadadpore: The country for the last twenty miles was more like the dry bed ofa salt lagoon in an interval betwixt spring-tides, then an inland district; only two or three miserable villages

were found in this dreary region, and even these were abandoned by the inhabitants, who, in ignorance ofBritish discipline, apprehended the excesses of a native army. On the evening of the 14th General Willshire'sbrigade marched to cross the desert; some unlucky loss of road occasioned delay and fatigue, and the infantry brigade did not reach its destination till the next day at past two in the afternoon, having made ma marchexceeding thirty miles".

"14th.A March of fourteen miles. Stayed in the rear to ascertain whether any more camels had been taken off during thenight, and was glad to find that the precautions adopted since yesterday had proved effectual-no further desertion havingtaken place. The villages on this route, together with that at our encamping ground, have been deserted for the last twomonths from a dread of the Khelat Beloches who have ravaged this frontier, since it was left unprotected by the SindianGarrisons Stationed for their protection, but who were summoned to Hyderabad when opposition to us was contemplated,and have not yet returned. The wells are few in number, and from not having been lately drawn the water is at first verybad, though it improves as it is taken out. Great difficulty is experienced in watering so many horses and camels, but weare nevertheless obliged to halt here in order to refresh the letter, previously to crossing a desert of thirty miles in extentwhich now lies before us. Curbee in abundance is found at all the deserted villages in the neighbourhood. By some accident


10/24

the village unfortunately took fire, and being surrounded and filled with combustible matter, it was found impossible tosubdue the flames, which blazed the whole night. Being totally without inhabitants, nothing of any value could have beendestroyed, but the affair will doubtless be magnified by the tongue of report, and our credit in the country will sufferaccordingly".

"22nd August, 1849".Sir,

I have the honor to report that, on the 16th

instant, I proceeded to Khyree Ghurree, with the intension of visiting all theposts on the western side of this frontier. On the night following, an unusual and even quite unprecedented fall of rain took place, which rendered the country for two days impassable, even for men on foot, and it is still so for horsemen. On themorning of 17th the water was standing more than two feet deep in the lines at Khyree Ghurree; and in a few hours thewhole of these lines fell down, and were completely washed away. I had previously caused men and horses to leave thelines, and pitch where they could find dry spots on the tops of sand hillocks, which alone appeared above the water; so thatno one was hurt. As for as the eye could reach nothing but water could be seen; and the whole desert between KhyreeGhurree and Rojaun was converted into a lake. Even now, after a lapse of six days, the water is nearly three feet deep insome parts of the road; while the mud still renders it very difficult ever for a cossid to get from one place to the other. It ismy intension to return to Khanghur as soon as possible. I received information yesterday a strong body of Murrees hasassembled in the hills for a predatory excursion on the border.

I have the honor, &c.,John Jacob, Major,
