THE EASTERN LIMIT Before he resumed his march eastward, Alexander ordered a great qaan> tity of ship timber to be felled in the forests on the upper course of the Hydaspes, which abound in fir and cedai, and floated down the stream to his new cities, and a fleet to be built for the navigation of the Indus. Alex- ander, on his march up the river Hydraotes, received or extorted the sub- mission of some other smaller tribes. As he approached Sangala, he found the Cathseans strongly entrenched on a...n insulated hill near the ciry, behind a triple barrier of wagons. A bloody carnage ensued; for the besieged made a vigorous resistance, and more than twelve hundred of the besiegers, including several general officers, were wounded. In reveuTO seventeen thousand of the barbarians were massacred ; seventy thousand were made prisoners. Alexander then continued his march towards the southeast and arrived on the banks of the Hyphasis, or rather of the stream formed by the junction of the Hyphasis (Bias) with the Hesidrus (Sutlej).
