After oomplimenta
1 beg to report that after we had received newa of
DHAIJ'a raid (i.e. the abortive raid to QARAITAH vide ray 304-C
of 14th September and 314-0 of Slat September) we concentrated
and got ready for action (fa aana). • e then heard that the
force had returned to JAHRA but that three amaller raiding par-
tiea had been aeht out from the main body. The firat of theae,
under IBH TUWALA raided our Araba camped at EL HABA wella, t>ie
aecond under Ibn MAJID raided the wella of EL RUMAH, while the
third party under "KARAN" went for SHIBAAK. All theae*Ghazzua 1
were aucceaaful and lifted camela. Our forcea on hearing the
newa puraued the raidera hot-foot in order to recover the camela
We followed hard on their tracka which led aa far aa J\HRA,
but God did not aee fit to let ua rocover them. Aa they enter
ed JAHRA, we reached Subaihiyah# We the purauera halted
(nanwakhna) at SUBAIHIYAH for one day, our hope bein?r that our
camela would be aent out to graze and would get them by a aud-
en attack. rr e thought thia waa the only way of getting them
aeeing we had not aufficient forcea to engage Ibn Subah'a
people at JAHRA, who were both many and were occupying towera.
Next day we moved from SUBAIHITAH and halted (nauwakhna) at
KAHAITAH, where we aent out a reconnaiaance which encountered
IBN SUBAH*a acouta. Our party waa dtiven back. We then moved
from RAHAIYAH with the intention of caTrming beyond JAHRA,until
we ahould get a chance at our camela. Aa we were on the march
(accroaa the enemy*a front) we auddenly encountered the enemy
they saw ua at the aame time. ,ir e feared to be at a retreat aa
the
that would have brought out a; whole lot in purauit "khifna
yaairun fi dhahurna ,, and would have reaulted in damage to our
force• During all thia time that I am talking about, our
mounted acouta and theirawerte engaged with each other. Finally
