The Sultanate of Bornu

Note 502 — APPENDIX IV

Philip Askell Benton translation

[According to Gaston Dujarric, Vie du Sultan Rabah, the Kanuri were at first victorious but scattered to plunder the enemy’s camp. Rabeh, who as usual, had kept a strong body of gun-men as a reserve, rallied his troops, gave all his generals—including his son, Fadel Allah, whose arm had been broken by a musket-ball—100 lashes apiece, and sent them forward to victory.—P. A. B.]
