v2.c30.34

His two treasure-laden ghurabs were seized at Tartipur, and 30 boats of his flotilla (with many officers and men on board) were captured at Shirpur and Hazrahati. His servants, who had refused to part from their families merely to show an unavailing devotion to a ruined man, now submitted to the victor (9th April), and were graciously taken into the Imperial service. Two of them, Mir Murtaza of the artillery and Ibn Husain* of the flotilla, afterwards covered themselves with glory in the Assam War and the capture of Chatgaon. †
