of many a bloody deed and, as far as Tangīr was concerned, probably also by a genuine love
of the former turbulent independence. So in the winter of 1917 a conspiracy hatched in
Tangīr proved successful, and Rāja Pakhtūn Wālī was cruelly murdered with an axe while
watching the construction of a mosque at Lurg. With his life the chiefship also came to
a sudden end. The Tangīrī tribesmen, with the Gabar-khēl to the fore, at once plundered and
burned down Pakhtūn Wālī's old stronghold at Jaglōt (Fig. 25). Gumāre-kōt was then attacked
and sacked by the Darēlīs, who are said to have razed its walls to the ground. The Rāja's wives,
children and near relations, including Mehtarjao Shāh 'Ālam, were forced to flee to independent
territory westwards, where most of them live now in Kandia as hapless refugees subsisting on
charity. The story is of a type familiar in the history of these regions. But I am glad to have
known its chief actor.
