they would fly the country and come to Sind." It is
certainly not my duty to protect these poor people, the
inhabitants of Kutchee; but it is my duty to protect the
inhabitants of Sind; and therefore I shall march, on the
16th of.January, beyond the frontier, at the head of a
strong force, accompanied by the Sindian chiefs Wullee
Mahomed, Chandiah, Ahmed Khan Mugsee, and many
others, at the head of many thousands of their followers,*
all determined to revenge their plundered villages upon the
mountain tribes. I shall also be assisted by His Highness
Ali Moorad, Talpoor, who will march against the enemy,
by whom his frontier has also been molested.
It is no small satisfaction to me that I find the Sindian
chiefs, who but two years ago stood opposed to us in battle
at Meeanee, now eager to draw the sword and fight under
British colours. It gives no equivocal proof of their con
tentment with the government ot Sind.
What the result of these operations may be, it is im
possible to say; but I hope it will be such as permanently
to secure the tranquillity of the Sindian frontier, and enable
our ally, the Khan of Khelat, to recover the rule of his
country from these robbers. With this last I have nothing
to do. The moment 1 have punished the robbers I shall
retire within our own frontier,')- satisfied that 1 have per
formed my duty to the East India Company, to the people
of Sind, and to humanity.
(Signed) C. J. Napier, Major General,
Governor of Sind.
* The whole of these thousands amounted to about six hundred.
■f Sir C. Napier did not withdraw his troops within the Sind fron
tier; a strong detachment was posted at Shahpoor, thirty miles beyond
the British frontier, and retained there for more than three years.
