A History of the Mahrattas v1.c13.58

v1.c13.58

Sivajee had just returned from the coast on Jey Sing's arrival, and hastened to Raigurh, where he for the first time called a consultation of all his principal people. Netajee Palkur, though it was a part of his duty to watch the motions of the enemy, was at a great distance with the main body of the cavalry, and Sivajee, although he probably then found it impolitic to displace him, never forgave the neglect.¹ Kartojee Goozur had further opportunities of proving his activity; but it was rather in eluding pursuit than in any particular success; he, however, cut off several parties of foragers, and brought in constant intelligence.
