Only one month had elapsed, however, when a letter came to me saying that, Bosh, the brother of the Emir Hussabullah, was stirring up a rebellion and collecting the remainder of the Sultan's children, in Jebel Marra, thereby sowing the country with the seeds of mischief and unrest.

[ fought him continuously for fifteen days, at the end of which time he left the hill and sought refuge in flight. Leaving my son Suliman, with 1,200 men to act for me, at Jebel Marra, I followed the fugitive until I overtook him at Saraf el Gidad near Kebkebia. I delivered a hot attack which ended in his being slain, and with him his brothtr Seif el Din and thirty seven of the chief of his warriors.
