Regarding water and what is to be done, His Excellency the Hakdar replied that this stems from the lack of attention from the Batabshan... and that he hopes His Excellency, since the Qaimaqam and it is not proper for me to interfere in his affairs, will communicate with Hussein Pasha Mazhar to emphasize and implement his warnings, and ask for God's protection. Praise be to God, we arrived after presenting what we clarified. Unlike the day before yesterday, when we lost seventy-four camels and four mules. I received news from His Excellency the Hakdar that the army will stay here for a rest. On Tuesday, the blessed 16th of October, 1883, at 3 o'clock Arab time, His Excellency General Hicks Pasha arrived to meet His Excellency the Hakdar, and a discussion took place regarding what is necessary. His Excellency the Hakdar said, with great regret, that due to my persistent urging of Your Excellency regarding the camels, I feared that you might feel some displeasure from us. Also, if the officers had been alerted at that time, they might have remembered that this was interference in your affairs, although I do not wish to interfere at all. It is only because I know that our lives depend on the camels, and it is our duty to rest them in the pasture, and for the soldiers to pay attention to them without harshness from us, which necessitates repeating this topic. Therefore, I hope you will emphasize to them the importance of paying attention to the camels, as it is not hidden from Your Excellency that the day before yesterday 94 and yesterday 101 camels, in addition to the mules, whose benefit is essential for our needs. His Excellency the Hakdar replied that since Your Excellency has informed Hussein Pasha Mazhar, there is no objection to issuing a warning this time through your own person to the Miralaayat, and perhaps the objective will be achieved. He replied, " حاضر" (present/understood). From the discussion, he stood up and immediately summoned the Miralaayat, who came to him, and he emphasized to them, hoping for the achievement of the objective. At 4:30 Arab time, His Excellency Colonel Farquharson arrived to meet me. During the discussion, he informed me that the Qaimaqam Hilt had departed on this date with a detachment of cavalry to scout a location in Um Raga'a before the existence of water was confirmed. I informed him that the camels and mules were tired. He replied that we need the mules before anything else. "Look at the Krupp cannons, then the camels to carry them," he said. In fact, we cannot leave the Krupp cannons on the road if there are no means to transport them. During the discussion, it was revealed that the officers are not obeying orders, which is the important matter. I replied that considering the current situation.
