2 RIHURSI, in the Punjab, a town situate near the left or east xine Kashulr,
3 bank of the Chenaub, and on the southern slope of the most
4 southern of the Himalaya ranges. Here is a fort considered by
5 Vigne ‘‘one of the strongest, perhaps the strongest, and best
6 constructed in the country.” It is situated on a conical and
7 rocky eminence south of the town, and is nearly square. The
8 walls are built of stone: they are very lofty, and are rendered still
9 more difficult to be scaled by their rising immediately from the
10 precipitous sides of the hill, which are steeply scarped. There is
11 a tower at each angle, and no pains have been spared to render
12 these, as well as most of the buildings of the interior, bomb-proof.
13 The garrison is supplied with water by means of two large tanks
14 within the walls. The fort is separated, by a deep ravine, from
15 an eminence of sandstone of the same height, about a mile distant.
16 The town itself is an inconsiderable place, having about a thou-
17 sand inhabitants. It belongs to Golab Singh, the Sikh chief of
