EVENTS

   1843: Major Outram writes to Charles Napeir from Off Naushera Feroz that Perhaps Mir Rustam Khan’s party have gone to seek refuge with, and assistance from Mir Sher Muhammad of Mirpur; and it is likely they will assemble number of Balochis , and that the Mirpur men may join him, also some of the Hyderabad Mirs might do so; also, if you march down in that direction, we may look out for disturbance, and possibly you may meet the opposition; but if they do go to extremities, rather than submit to our terms, their mode of w3arfare would be, I should suppose, laying waste the country, looting our camels, and cutting off your foragers.
