Excerpt from Pioneers of Progeess During these hostilities our troops and transport suffered heavily all along the immense line of communi cations from the tribesmen, who lost no opportunity of plundering and murdering the unarmed and unwary. On the Baluchistan side the Murree tribe were the most mischievous. In 1840 a force was sent to their country to punish them. One detachment was surrounded and besieged at Kahan, the chief Murree village. It was withdrawn after a memorable defence, but not until a relieving column had been beaten back by the tribesmen, who captured three guns and almost destroyed it. Two of these guns were recovered in 1859. The third, which could not then be found, was still in Kahan twelve years ago.
