and Miren chided by his Commanders, plucked up some courage, and resolved to return to the field of battle. A number of braves took him in the middle of their ranks, and returned to the charge, where they behaved so as to be remarked from both sides. This was no sooner observed by Cadyr-dad-qhan, than he advanced, and let fly a shower of arrows; the very first of which having lodged in the breast of Mahmed-amin-qhan, who had espoused Miren's aunt, and was mounted on an elephant close to him, it killed him outright, and dispatched him to the other world. Another arrow hit Miren himself, and broke one of his teeth; and whilst he was carrying his hand thither, another arrow lodged itself in his neck, without finishing him, however; for his last hour was not yet come. After this flight of arrows, Cadyr-dad-qhan's men falling upon the braves that surrounded Miren, came to hand-blows with them; and being warmly received, the business of wounding and killing with sabre, and arrow, and spear, went on briskly; and numbers on both sides being wounded and slain, the engagement became hearty and warm. In a little time the ground was strewed with a vast number of bodies. But Miren had lost his presence of mind; he held his empty bow in his hand, without once remembering to put the other into his quiver; shook his head to and fro, like the flame of a burning taper, for fear, doubtless, of being hit again by some other arrow; and he was ready to turn about a second time.
