Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ...upper villagers had declared that the Frank was of no use to them, as he gave them nothing, but reserved all his favours for the eastern villagers; while the latter indignantly, and with truth, denied the accusation. The next few days were busily employed by me in pouring oil on the troubled waters. These efforts were attended with a fair measure of success, when an unlucky DISTURBANCE IN THE UPPER VILLAGE 331 fight between two women in the upper village led to a general disturbance there. The quarrel itself was soon settled, but the general excitement remained, and soon found an outlet for its energy by re-starting the old contentions about me with the east village. And now matters went from bad to worse. The malcontents were careful to explain that against me personally they had no complaint, and several of them added, that should existing dissensions go to an extreme length and fighting occur, every one respected me so much that not a hair of my head would be injured. But my friends were rapidly becoming cowed by the majority, and there was no real danger of a fight. They were alternately accused of receiving my money and taunted with not supporting me better. It was at length agreed that a certain test should be applied, to discover if my friendship for the Kaua were sincere or not. Acting on this suggestion, headmen representing the whole of the tribe, came to ask me to send for a force of Chitralis, to cooperate with the Kafirs in a raiding expedition. The spokesman declared that it was well known to all the village that the Mehtar would do anything to please me, and that if he were asked for rifles, he would certainly send them. They argued, also, that the Mehtar would be delighted at the chance afforded him of capturing prisoners...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
