Papers Relating to Military Operations in Affghanistan (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Papers Relating to Military Operations in Affghanistan 9. Brigadier Sale found himself at J ellalabad, surrounded and attacked by all the armed population of the country. He had at first but six days' provision; his men were harassed, and the defences of the place were exceedingly weak. The latest letters from him are of November 27th; he had attacked and dispersed the enemy, and collected supplies for thirty days. Ammunition had been sent from Peshawur but it is uncertain whether it had reached him. All the later reports, however, from this post are in a tone of laudable and increasing confidence. The enemy, after their first defeat, had not again ventured to assail it; and we may look, we trust, with certainty, to the security of this portion of our troops.
