[Text, vol. i. p. 370.] Sipahdar Khan, after obtaining possession of the fort of Taltam (by the treachery of the garrison), laid siege to Situnda, by command of the Emperor, and pressed the place very hard. Sidi Jamal, the governor, offered to surrender on terms which were agreed to; so he and his family came out, and the fort passed into the possession of the Imperialists.
