September. A few of the desert Sbammar had broken faith with him, but
had been defeated by Pnkal-ad-Dawish, the majority of them being killed 5 and
all their property captured. Faisal-ad-Dawish was then camped at Jatha-
raiyah, three hours north of Hail. Ibn Talal was at Namsiyah, one and half
hours from Jathamiyah and apparently did not know than Ibn Sa’ud was
marching against him. On the 7th September Faisal-ad-Dawish fought an
engagement with Ibn Kashid and defeated him, killing *00 men. Ibn Sa’ud
himself joined Dawish at Jathamiyah the following day and on the mornin 01
of the 9th September a general advance was made, supp orted by artillery
Ibn Rashid’s force broke at once and fled, some made forHail and others Took
refuge in some forts. The former were pursued right up to the town and only
escaped at all owing to the ground being too broken for cavalry to operate over
it. Those who took refuge in the forts were shelled out and' all their arms,
munitions of war, etc., including three guns and three machine guns, fell into
Ibn Saud s hands. Ibn Rashid lost 500 killed in all that day. Ibn Rashid
then sent an envoy to Ibn Sa’ud to sue for peace but he refused to treat unless
Ibn Rashid surrendered himself, and evacuated Hail. Ibn Sa’ud was then
awaiting die remainder of his reinforcements which were due on the 16th,
w icn ic intended to enter Hail, forcing an entry if the town had not already
surrendered.
