one o'clock
In the evening information came in , from the villages in the plain , that large numbers of the Mongals -- who inhabited the hills -- were meditating an attack . Strong pickets were posted , and the night passed quietly . In the morning large numbers of tribesmen flocked down into the villages , and gradually surrounded the camp . At one o'clock the troops fell in . The cavalry were sent out against the enemy in the northwest direction , followed by the 28th Punjaubees and Number 2 mounted battery . The Mongals at once fell back to the hills . The squadron of the 10th Hussars were dismounted , and ordered to skirmish up a small knoll to the west .
