It was just as well that we did not put too much faith in the story
that the war on the Indian frontier would be ended with the defeat of
the Haddah Mullah.

News has reached us that the British forces have once again been checked
by the tribesmen.

This time it was the Mohmads who were the victors. These men, if you
remember, professed themselves ready to submit to English rule, and when
the troops arrived in their neighborhood, offered their allegiance to
the British officers.

They were, however, told that to prove their good faith they must, one
and all, give up their rifles. Upon hearing this they became sulky, and
refused to do anything of the sort.

The British waited the two days they had promised, and then began to
destroy the villages of the rebellious tribesmen. On one of these
expeditions they were in turn attacked by the Afridis, and defeated.
