(Killed in the attack on Kundranee.)
Kumber Nephew of the
Shumbrane chief, " Lango."
Also a nephew of Hundoo's, name unknown.
Sunjur Rind.
There were also many others, esteemed as warlike cha
racters, but of less note, killed. Neither Islam Khan nor
Alim Khan were with the party.
Our own loss has, I am happy to say, been trifling, com
pared to the result, as shown by the annexed return of
killed and wounded : nine of our horses were killed and
ten wounded, seven of them mortally so. Amongst the
wounded is your own horse, which I was riding at the
time; he has received two severe sword-cuts, one on the
loins close behind the saddle, and the other on the heel.
After all was over I returned to Shahpoor, vid Chuttur, to
which latter place I had sent all the prisoners able to march,
under the custody of Naib Russaldar Azeem Khan. Rus-
saidar Shaik Ali, with the remainder of my detachment, I
left at Koonree, to take care of the wounded till I could
send out assistance and carriage from this place. All
returned to Shahpoor this morning.
Before I fell in with the enemy, they had attempted
to plunder the village of Kundranee, whence they were
beaten off" by the head man, Deen Mahomed Kyheeree, in
splendid style; Deen Mahomed and his people killing the
notorious "Chuttah" Jekranee and others, and taking one
prisoner. Three determined attacks were made by the
Boogtees on the fort, and at one time .the assailants had
actually reached the top of the wall, but were thrown back
by the defenders.
