The Khân sent a force to recapture these lands, and in February an engagement took place in which the Portuguese were victorious. A second attack by the Moslems was similarly repulsed. A third fight took place in July, and again the Muhammadans were beaten; but Asada Khân then assembled a larger army, and the foreigners were compelled to retire after blowing up their fortress. - [Previous: c19.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.15) - [Next: c19.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.17) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.16) · Pramāṇa
