9. 2nd Jumay Acher, 1289, letter from Abou Saood, Fatiko. 10. 29th Jumay Owal, 1289, order for confiscation of Fatiko after the attack made upon the troops. Letter from officers of Fabbo. 12. 4th Regeb, 1289, report of Abou Saood's escape with government guns, &c. 13. 22nd Jumay Acher, 1289, letter from vakeel Suleiman, Fabbo.
He fraternized secretly with Allorron and his Baris. Many of his men purchased tobacco from the natives in exchange for ammunition. The natives from Belinian were in daily communication with Abou Saood's camp, and their spies obtained information of our proceedings, and carried the news throughout the country that "they would be supported by Abou Saood against my authority."
I ordered Abou Saood's people to camp on the west bank of the river, as I did not wish them to be in constant communication with my troops, who would quickly become contaminated by their morals. The news brought by Abou Saood from Khartoum informed me of the death of Agad; therefore the representation of the firm of Agad & Co. had now devolved upon Abou Saood, his son-in-law.
We had been expected long ago, but, as already described, the delays attending the opening of the Suez canal had prevented us from starting. I quickly perceived the real state of affairs. A great number of Allorron's people were absent in the interior, employed by Abou Saood's companies as mercenary soldiers.
Taken by surprise, a panic seized the slave-hunters, very few of whom had time to fire their muskets before they were speared by the pitiless Umiro, who wreaked wholesale vengeance by the massacre of 103 of Abou Saood's men and about 150 of their allies. The main body under Lazim were completely cowed, as they feared an overwhelming attack that might exhaust their ammunition.
This would require at least 6,000 cows. It was a complete fix. There were no cattle in any of Abou Saood's stations; they had all been consumed; and he now came to me with a request that I would lend him eighty oxen, as his people had nothing to eat. It was clearly impossible to move the ivory.
Declaration of Abou Saood's men, containing declarations of Mohammed, Wat-el-Mek, and Besheer Achmet, that Abou Saood gave the order to fire at the Pacha and the government troops. Two large papers. 7. 29th Jumay Owal, 1289, letter from Abou Saood from Fabbo. 8. 29th Rebi Owal, 1289, Major Abdullah's reasons for not detaining Suleiman, and for not arresting Abou Saood.
