v3.c42.s9.5

The fleet entered the Kumaria creek only two marches short of Chatgaon, and landed a body of pioneers who began to cut the jungle *forward* in the direction of Chatgaon and *behind* towards the advancing army, which was also clearing a way in its front. The two divisions joined hands on the 21st. Buzurg Ummed Khan brought up the rear several miles behind.* Beyond this point the jungle was very dense and the road very bad, so that Farhad Khan's advance was extremely slow.
