art, Mr.. Power, NJ. Herbin and their
comrades. 1t was known that the assas-
sins were actually at Birteh, about
forty miles up the Nile from Hamdab, and
1t is there that he met his death. The lead

Ihe fighting lasted five hours. There
who survived escaped by swimming. The
Brush force consisted of the Black Watch
ana south Stafford Regiments, a squadron of
nussars, Two guns OF the Egyptian Ar
tuery, an Egyptian camel Corps, and
r a SECTION OF the hospital corps. The
Teneis consisted of the Monassir and
hobatat tribes, and numbers OF dervishes
from berber. 1t was impossible to judge the
NUMBER or the enemy, owing to their extended
pos!ton and the ROCKY nature of the ground,

leader IRON Berber, together with several
einiisi are among the killed. The guns spiked
