nine o'clock
The approach to the pass , which was four miles to the left , was across a very rough country ; and as , after advancing four and a half miles , a severe opposition was met with , most of the day was spent in dislodging the tribesmen from the villages , and turning them out of the spurs which covered the approach to the pass . Finding it impossible to make the summit that night , they encamped and , although they were fired into heavily , but little damage was done . At dawn the expedition started again but , by accident , they ascended another pass parallel with the Lozacca . At nine o'clock the Ghoorkhas and Sikhs arrived at the top of the pass . It was very difficult and , as the baggage animals gave great trouble on the ascent , and were unable to go farther , the party camped on the top of the pass . General Lockhart left the camp early that morning , but was also opposed so vigorously that he was obliged to encamp , three miles from the top of the pass , after having burnt all the villages from which he had been fired upon . In the morning he joined the advance party , and went ten miles down the pass .
