935.11.2

(_May 3rd_) On Tuesday (_Sha`bān 24th_) we marched from where the river had been crossed, went on for nearly one _kuroh_ (2 m.) and dismounted on the fighting-ground at the confluence.[2603] I myself went to enjoy Ūstād `Alī-qulī's firing of culverin and _firingī_; he hit two boats today with _firingī_-stones, broke them and sank them. Muṣṯafa did the same from his side. I had the large mortar[2604] taken to the fighting-ground, left Mullā Ghulām to superintend the making of its position, appointed a body of _vasāwals_[2605] and active braves to help him, went to an island facing the camp and there ate _ma`jūn_.
