patriotism in their Chiefs, the people of the Western Provinces might
have shared the same fortune, and all Beloochistan united under the
Khan would have been safe from Persian aggression.

allusion to matters noticed in the foregoing sketch, are appended ; as

Extract No. 2.
Operations in Beloochistan, 1736 a.d.
It has been previously stated, that Pir Mahomed Khan and Eselmas
Khan, had been sent from Ispahan, to command in Beloochistan, and
were ordered to proceed with a fully equipped force and artillery, to
chastise the rioters of Kharan. On 9th ZuT Hije, when Nadir was
encamped on the plains of Candahar, Mahomed Ali Beg Saewhloo,
Naib of Ishac and Chief of the Agas, was despatched with a force to
punish the Shir Khan tribe of Beloochees, and those of Shorabec (in
Kharan) who were committing outrages. The Belooches, aware of the
approach of this force, assembled and gave battle, when they were within
two parasangs of Shorabec ; seven hundred Beloochees were slain, and
many of their mules and camels taken.

Mahomed Ali was next directed to join the Beloochistan Commander
at Kharan, and on the conclusion of their operations to return to
Shorabec, and reduce all the forts in its vicinity.
