| Evidence: | 'It being Sunday, we read prayers from a Bible and a Prayer Book that were picked up on the field at Bhoodkhak. The service was scarcely finished when a clannish row commenced. Sine tribes from a neighbouring fort who have a blood feud with the chiefs with us came against the fort: a few juzails were fired; there was a great talking and noise; and then it was all over.' |
