         286  Kumaonis Loaders reached at  East India Company Camp in End of February . Those loaders promised Hearsay for bringing more 100 loaders from Hills by 1^st March and 200 additional Hill  loaders after Hearsay reaching to Champawat. In second week of March, Hearsay reached to Champawat with soldiers and supply. Hearsay established supply depot at Champwat Fort. Hearsay wanted to reserve food supply  for one month for 1500 soldiers. Hearsay instructed loaders for bringing supply from Bilhari to Champawat. Hearsay was hopeful that at least within 10 days full supply would reach to Champawat from Bilhari camp.

 Hearsay army did not have Guns (Topen). The army did not have gun powder etc too. By fast spending nature, he did not have enough money too and had to stay in Kailaghati. There was only one European officer Lieutenant Martindale in his army and Hearsay sent him for surrounding Katolgarh with 500 soldiers. Hearsay had to keep 300 soldiers to protect communication line from Pilibhit to Champawat.  There were 300 soldiers in Champawat. Hearsay could keep only 300 soldiers in Kali River valley.  By appointing Kumaunis gun men he had 500 soldiers in Bilhari for keeping eyes on Hastidal ‘s movement.
