been invited to Khumimnbad to receive favours of the Sbah; his sons
follow in the wake of J Ali Khan, but are in no way attached to him, and con
sider that their misfortunes have been his opportunity. Of these young
men the elder is by no means a prepossessing youth; the younger, quite
a boy, has a face which attracts by reason of its look of quiet melancholy
and resignation. They frequently visited Major Bell and related to him
their misfortunes, under the idea that he was a Sartip in the service of the
Shah, whose good offices at Tehran might have served to bring them again
into favour. At the time when the party were treated with little consi
deration by Haji ’Ali, they offered tent room and hospitality. The Agent
of the Zill-us-Sultan with the tribe, not much liked by Haji 'All, advocated
their rights, so it is quite possible that a turn of the wheel of fortune may
yet bring these lads into prominence. Ahmad Khan, the second son, has
a considerable following, and is at enmity with his brother for like reasons,
and in rebellion against the government. The chief of the Lurs about
Kirmanshah is Husain Quli Khan, a lawless chief. This Husain Quli
Khan (whose fathe* was Haidar Khan, but whether the above-mentioned
Haidar Khan Sartip or not is not quite sure) is the famous Abu-Graddareh.
The summer quarters of the Vali are at Deh-i-Bala, a secluded valley, very
difficult of access at the foot of a lofty mountain known as the Manisht
Kuh. If the \ all and his people move from their quarters, it is in the
direction of Turkey rather than of Persia that they shift their tents. Their
chief qishlaq is at Husainieh, at the foot of the Pusht-i-Kuh and just within
the Turkish border; it is with Baghdad and Kut-al-^Amarah that the Vali
trades : it is upon Turkish territory that he makes his raids, constant dis
putes arising about the occupation by the Lurs of Ottoman soil; and his
Sworn and inveterate enemies are the BanI Lam, who are Turkish subjects.
He R probably the best living representative of the old border chieftain,
and is said to be able to call out 30,000 lighting men. The present Vali
is Riza Ouli Khan, the former Saham-us-Saltaneh. His family tree reads
as follows :—
