96 VISIT TO THE KHAN'S DAROGHA.
our arrival at Kelat, of calling upon the Darogha of Meer Mustapha
Khan, who we learned, though still indisposed, had been daily ex
pecting us, and was highly affronted at our want of respect towards

any regard to their counsel, though we made a feint of doing so,
and said we would ponder well ere we decided on any particular
road.
Sd March. We saw the Darogha of Mustapha Khan, who was more
polite than we anticipated, after what had occurred yesterday : he said
