from Kelat on the 16^, bringing a Hoondee, or Native Bill for
the money we required, and a letter from the Hindoo whom we had
left at that city. Captain Christie therefore went to the Sirdar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. , paid
him the sum that had been agreed upon, and requested that he might
be sent off immediately: he also announced to him that I had got an
order to proceed by the southern road to Kirman in Persia, and was to
stay at Nooshky, until a man should come to receive some superfluous
necessaries we had with us: the old fellow talked of a lucky day for
Captain Christie to commence his journey, with other nonsense likely
to delay him, and on the 18/A seemed so unconcerned with regard to,
and dilatory in, his promised preparations, that, that officer told him
we should positively return to Kelat if he did not name an early day
