Khan, a relative of the hill chiefs of Punyal, whose services
as an orderly Captain Manners Smith had kindly secured for
me, and by his retainer. In addition to these languages
there was Hindustani talked between my Sub-Surveyor and
Jasvant Singh, his Rajput cook. Had I brought the Kas-
miri servant whom I had first engaged before Sadak Akhun
joined me from Kashgar, I should have had an opportunity
to keep up my Kashmiri also. Notwithstanding this diversity
of tongues things arranged themselves easily, for everybody
seemed to know something at least of another's language.
