Initially I thought that we were ...Dear Pettygree,<br /><br />Initially I thought that we were in for it as the Dervish appeared from every direction. However, I kept my feelings to myself so as not to upset the men. I felt much better after 3 controlled volleys sent the first lot, to our front, off to their Maker. The Beja and Hadendowa attempted to hit our right flank, but the two companies of Sikhs that I deployed outside of the zariba held the Beja at bay for quite awhile. The Sikhs were under orders to fire two volleys, so as to increase the number of rifles to our front, and then to retire back into the zariba. However, the noble Sikhs decided to stay outside the zariba and face down the Beja.<br /><br />The Dervish made one more rush at our front, but they were easily repulsed by the Seaforth Highlanders. Then the Hadendowah attempted to attack the tower, our weak point, but our Egyptian soldiers successfully held the tower. The Hadendowah seemed to loose heart after this attack.<br /><br />A final charge by the Beja on our right flank was once again repulsed by the Seaforths. The Dervish fell back out of sight after all of this.<br /><br />The Harrington sisters, Alexandra and Minerva, send their best wishes to their uncle and their assurances that they are well. I dare say that Alexandra was particularly plucky with her Purdy Shotgun.<br /><br />Looking forward to your arrival with the main column.<br /><br />ArchieDer Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-63083018683876957422019-09-26T17:10:06.577-05:002019-09-26T17:10:06.577-05:00A nail-biter from start to finish.
