Quote: left]The main body of our forces will advance tomorrow ( Wednesday) some mile further up the river. The gun spiked by Col. Stewart when he was forced to abandon the steamer Abbas were found burnt at Birti." Lord Wolseley telegraphs from Korti as follows:"Gen. Brackenbury, who took command of the forces advancing up the Nile when Gen. Earle fell, has sent from Dulka Island, about 70 miles above Merawi, the following report of the recent engagment: " the attack was well planned and gallantly executed. Our expectation is that the effect of the battle will be to open the way to Berber without further fighting. The rebel held a high ridge of razor-backed hills, with some advancing koppies in front, close to the river. Six companies of the Black Watch Regiment and six companies of the South Staffordshire Regiment marched around the high ridge of the hill, entirely turning the enemy's position, which was attacking from the rear. The number of the enemy was not great, but their position was extremely strong and difficult to access and they fought with the most determined bravery.
