Meanwhile, Farlow's patrol captured four enemy soldiers with ten camels but they were prevented from crossing the plain by rifle fire from about 50 defenders in the foothills where the Nekhl to Akaba road leaves the plain to the east of Nekhl.
I mellemtiden fangede Farlows patrulje fire fjendtlige soldater med 10 kameler, men de blev forhindret i at krydse sletten af riffelild fra omkring 50 forsvarere i forbjergene hvor vejen mellem Nekhel og Aqaba forlader sletten øst for Nekhel.
