He said that their imprisonment without his knowledge was a betrayal by those with him, and that he should not transgress against the people. He replied that he did not intend to transgress against them, but rather that as long as the matter was as it was, there was no objection to summoning them and appeasing them. They had already arrived and he had left. How strange, and how quickly the intermediary obtained their release. The people do not know what the sole cause of the army's hardship was, falling into danger yesterday, which is not remembered except for their betrayal of the experts, relying on Colonel Farkharis's compass. The experts had said more than once that they would not have been civilians if they had not followed their advice. How is it that Colonel Farkharis is the cause, and Uncle knows this? Does he, with his weak argument for escaping yesterday's danger that befell us all, find no other way but to imprison the experts so that it may be said or rumored that what happened was the experts' deception, to justify his bad ideas about them? He is seizing an even more cunning opportunity. As for us, with our inability and our strong hope in God Almighty, we continue to ask Him to grant us, with His great kindness, protection from all harm, as He granted us yesterday. As for our desire from them, we only wish for their comfort, as much as possible, to escape their evil. Let us rely on the Master and follow our experts, who have shown their friendship to us until they brought us to this place. If they had wanted to not help us, they would have led us astray in the vast wilderness, as our connection has only been for three or four days, near our arrival at the intended place. After an hour of marching, the experts came to us, bringing good news of water nearby in the wadi. The soldiers rejoiced at this good news and reached the wadi, which is Al-Balyab wadi, at 2:30 Arab time. The army encamped fifty meters away from the wadi, and the soldiers were seen flocking to the water, happy and passing by. The width of the wadi is approximately fifteen meters. After orders were given to encamp the army here today and tomorrow, On Tuesday, October 23, 1883, the Arabs managed to reach the eastern bank of the wadi and continued until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Considering that they were not seen, they were fired upon from the fort only occasionally, as a precaution.
