Across coveted lands : or, A journey from Flushing (Holland) to Calcutta, overland . their part, I had, by adodge of my own, taken three photographs ofthem, the best of which is reproduced facingpage 350.

The mouth was generally the worstfeature in their faces, the upper lip being drawnvery tight over the teeth and giving rather abrutal expression to their countenances. Themen were very powerfully built, thick-set, withribs well covered with muscle and fat, powerful,coarse wrists and ankles, and square-shaped handswith short stumpy thumbs. Their attire was simple ; a sort of long whitecotton blouse buttoned over the right shoulderand ample trousers of the same material. Many,however, wore a felt * overcoat—or rather, overskin, for there was no other garmentunderneath. A white turban was worn woundround the head. A duffadar^ six sawars and six camels werestationed at Windmill at Mlshki Chah.
