and the latter being quite unprepared, the Mirza fell upon a large force from Tatta which had disembarked, and killed and made many prisoners, and then returned. After this action, Shah Husain returned to Tatta, and Mirza Yadgar Nasir, repentant and ashamed, waited upon the Emperor and presented the heads of his enemies. Once more Humayun forgave him, and spoke not a word of all that had passed. Shah Husain now wrote letters to Mirza Yadgar Nasir, and again drew him over to his side. The Shah requested him to secure for him the two zamindars who had obtained the boats for the Emperor. These men, being informed of the demand, repaired to the camp of Humayun. Mirza Yadgar sent a messenger to Humayun, representing that he had some revenue matters relating to his jagir of Bakhar to settle with these two zamindars, and requested that they might be sent to him. The Emperor ordered that several persons should accompany the men, and bring them back again when the business was concluded. The instant Mirza Yadgar Nasir saw them, he took them forcibly from the Emperor's men, and sent them to Shah Husain. Thus he once more exhibited his animosity to the Emperor, and never again sought a reconciliation.
