I was not, on the whole, sorry to leave Gwarjak.
But one European, Colonel M---- of the Indian service, had visited Gwarjak for fifteen years prior to my visit.

My road thither from Noundra has never been traversed save by natives, and it was, perhaps, more by good luck than good management that we came through successfully.

The inhabitants of Gwarjak are a tribe known as the Nushirvanis, who claim to be of Persian descent.

It was only at Quetta that I learnt that my friend Malak was only Viceroy of this inhospitable district.

The head-quarters and residence of the Chief, one Nimrood Khan, is at Kharan (a hundred and fifty miles north-west of Gwarjak).
