The arrival of Sir R. Napier at Senate had been preceded by the move¬ 
ment of the larger portion of the transport mules, especially those of the 
Lahore and Rawul Pindee trains, to the highlands, and it was with the 
greatest difficulty that carriage was found for the troops ordered up. 1500 
animals were at this time left in a sick depot at Pocada, where glanders

The superior organization and condition of the Punjab Transport Corps 
over the divisions formed at Zulla could not fail to attract attention. 
The whole of the troops of the Bengal Brigade, under Brigadier-General 
D. M. Stewart, arriving with every arrangement for transport, were ready 
to march immediately after landing. The superiority of the Bengal system 
over that of the Bombay Native Army and the better physique of the 
Punjabees has been maintained throughout the campaign.
