It was now Mir Jumla's turn to make an effort and open the way to Lakhau from his side. For this purpose the Dikhu was bridged near Garhgaon after three unsuccessful attempts. A force was sent (25th Sep.) under Abul Hasan to follow the circuitous high road from the Dikhu bank opposite Garhgaon, by way of Sairing and the southern hills, to Dewalgaon. The expedition was an unqualified success : outposts were set up at Sairing and Gajpur, Dewalgaon was reached and communication reopened with the fleet. From Lakhau large quantities of provisions were now sent by land and water under escort, and arrived at Garhgaon on 24th and 31st October respectively.
