1 THE KHAIBARIS. 285
2 _ As it will be’ necessary to mention the names
3 of the Khaibaris and their tribes very often, I
4 will give.a brief account of them here, that the
5 Teader, may be able to recognise every one
6 without confusion. The extent of the pass of
7 Khaibar is inhabited by five tribes, having the
8 general name of Afridi. They have each their
9 separate chiefs or superiors, and are named as
10 follows :—
11 Names of the Tribe. Names of the Chief.
12 Khuki Khail Abdurrahman Khan
13 Malikdin Khail Khan Bahadar Khan
14 Sipa Salim Khan
15 Zaka Khail { Alladad Khan
16 Feiztalab Khan

22 the shells were composed of pewter, which he told-us an-
23 swered uncommonly wel]. When it is considered that all
24 we saw was the work_ of the General’s own knowledge,
25 ‘and we reflect on the difficulties he has had to surmount,
26 it is a matter almost of wonder to behold the perfection to
27 which he has brought his artillery.”——Barr’s Journalg pp.
