after a great accumulation of water had taken place produced the 

 results mentioned. 



The obstruction in 1841, was formed somewhere below Hasora. 

 The spot was visited by the late Messrs. Winterbottoin and Agnew, 

 a year or two after the flood. 



The water on that occasion is believed to have risen 800 or 900 

 feet above its usual level at the landslip, and the stream is said to 

 have been stopped as far back as to G-ilgit, or nearly as far. 



In 1841 a Brigade or Division of the Sikh Army was encamped 

 near Attock when the flood took place, and was swept entirely away. 

 On the present occasion it is understood that the loss of life has not 

 been great."
