As we moved across the plain we saw on our right and left detachments of the Ameer's army marching in to take possession of our late the Kandahar Campaign. 1 75 cantonments, and to guard the stores left behind by General Stewart as a present to the Ameer. The infantry seemed a fine set of young men, and appeared more orderly than those from whom we had just parted. They were clad in uniforms of a European pattern, but of a drab colour, and evidently made from ' barak ' (sheep's wool) or 'shutur...i' (camels' hair). Then came straggling bodies of cavalry, whose appearance beto- kened a set of savage marauders, and their cruelty and violence to the villagers around has already engaged the Ameer's attention. These men are the curse of the country they are supposed to protect. They take what they want from the villagers without any recompense, and commit the most lawless excesses without any fear of retribution, for their officers, as a rule, share the spoil wherever they go. Our advanced guard, some of artillery and cavalry, had moved away before daybreak, but we did not get away till after the interview was over and the formal handing over of the keys had taken place.
