About noon-day prayers we renewed our march, and ascended the pass, crossed the river, and halted on an eminence; we again set out at midnight. In going to examine the ford by which we had passed on our way to Bahrah, we found a raft loaded with grain, that had stuck fast in the mud and clay; the owners with all their exertions had not been able to extricate it. We seized this corn, and divided it among the men who were with us; the grain came very seasonably. Towards evening we halted lower down than the junction of the Sind and Kábul rivers, and higher up than the old Níláb, between the two. We brought six boats from Níláb, and divided them among the right and left wings and centre, who immediately began to exert themselves in crossing the river. On the Monday, being the day on which we arrived, and the night following, and on Tuesday and the night following till Wednesday, they continued passing; on Thursday, also, a few passed. - [Previous: 1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.1.13) - [Next: 1.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.1.15) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-elliot.1.14) · Pramāṇa
