Sketches in Chitral: interior of a headman's house in Mian-Kili, 1895. '"This was a rich house. He had great store of grain, atta, flour, honey, and other things, with much furniture". It is reported that Umra Khan had a very unfriendly reception - as, indeed, he deserved - at the hands of the Ameer, when he reached Cabul [ie Kabul]. Our ally told Umra Khan that it was solely because he appealed for his protection as a fellow-religionist that he would permit him to remain in Cabul. The Ameer also is said to have pointed out to Umra, with great severity of tone, that he had acted in very dastardly fashion, and that he had himself to thank for the disaster which had befallen him'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
