immediately surprised from without, and the Dehwars became masters of 

 Kalat. On the news reaching Khuzdar, a similar rise took place there, 

 which terminated as successfully. 



The descendants of these patriots are now known among the Deh- 



Brahoee History, wars as " dodee mast" or " bread heroes." 



Before entering on the history of the Brahoees, I must preface 

 the subject by remarking, that the history of these people is in 

 the hands of the Lohree minstrels, but that I heard from Mehrab 

 Khan himself, that he could trace his desent for twenty-three 

 generations, and that his progenitors emigrated from Halab, 

 (Aleppo). 



He also declared himself descended from Ameer Humza, uncle of 

 the Arabian prophet, and a Hashamite Koreish. 



Though not in possession of Merab Khan's pedigree, I procured in 

 the early part of 1839, when in Cutchee, that of Baloch Khan Dombkee

 Satookee, son of Ilm-i-Mardame, son of Badee Uzzuman, son of Ameer 

 Humzah, son of Abdu Mutalib, son of Abdu Manaf, son of Abdul 

 Hasham. 



Isak Khan had two sons, Saheek and Husen Khan. Chakar Khan 

 is the son of Saheek, he is the progenitor of the Chakaranees of Hin- 

 dusthan. 



The former Jalal Khan, had five sons: Rind, Latree, Hot, Ruraiee and 

 Jahtoee. 



The Dehwars on taking possession of Kalat, held a council among
