Moslem horsemen apparently in idle
curiosity, The gate was open, and the
townspeople, and women With jars of

was nothing to excite suspicion or ap-

ception of his father, and the strange,
unusual proposition, that bhe first in-
terview should be on the mountain

'explained this characteristically, and
with a fair show of reason, and Fazil,

swords, [T'he Portuguese of Gott used

resistible, and, Ulse first line of then

'Straggling shots were fired at them
from the sides of the mountain, but
without effect; and after riding near-
ly a mile down the glade at the same
speed, the path vay turned into the

'Yet they pressed on, until, reaching
a rising -ground which overlooked the
field, they could see it all in its hide-
ous reality. The Ma'•hrattas had seiz-
ed the Beejapoor gains, and that point
of defence no longer remained to the
Mahomedans. Thousands of the en-
emy's foot -men, in compact m'a'sses,
were charging disordered groups of
men 'huddled together, who made a
vain resistance, Great numbers o!
'horses were careering madly about,
but, for the most part, the troop -

then that the Khan's escape was im-
possible; and they were thus prepared
for the sail news which Fazil brought.
'Kakrey decidedly objected, however
