The fort of Killeh Abdooleh, situated in the vicinity of the Khojuk Pass, belongs to Abdooleh Khan, Chief of the Auchukzyes, a branch of the Barukzye tribe, inhabiting that mountain range and the adjoining plains. They are ranked among the wildest of the Dooranees, their only occupations being pasturage and plunder. Besides their vast herds of camels, they breed many horses. They are in general large and strong men, and live almost entirely on mutton and goat’s flesh, eating but little grain. Skill in theft, and boldness in robbery, are great qualities with them. In their fierce and frequent attacks on the baggage of Lord Keane’s army, they suffered severely. Not only did they keep up an incessant fire on the troops from the shelter of the mountain sides, but occasioned much annoyance and some loss by rolling down large fragments of rock from the craggs bordering the narrow path. To keep open the communication through their country, a body of two hundred horsemen, raised from among them, by Lieutenant Bosanquet, 16th Bengal Infantry, was stationed in the fort. A detachment of the 20th Bombay Infantry was subsequently sent to strengthen the post, but circumstances rendering its withdrawal necessary, the Auchukzyes took advantage of the opportunity to desert the enemy, cutting down some of the Infantry as they went off. In the plate, their Commander, Russaldar Ghoolam Khan, is represented on horseback, while tow dismounted troopers occupy the foreground. Their uniform was a tunic of green cloth, and they were armed with matchlock, sword, and shield.
