Heaven knows I myself had a hard enough job when I became responsible for feeding our troops at Chitral, two hundred miles into the heart of the Himalayas from the base at Nowshera. Breaking bulk at every stage it was heart-breaking. First the railway, then the bullock cart, the camel, the mules till, at the Larram Pass we got down to the donkey.
Now Paia was inhabited by Jowaki Afridis, and he that findeth an Afridi asleep, when he ought to be awake, is either a very astute or a very fortunate person. Cavignari was a very astute person and a match for the most wakeful Afridi. For instance, the British troops that lay nearest to Paia were those in garrison at Nowshera, and these, therefore, were the most obvious ones to use.
He and his troops and the Khan were now closely besieged by Wafadar Nazim. The work of mobilisation was pressed on; a great force was gathered at Nowshera; Brigadier Appleton was appointed to command it. "Luffe will hold out," said official India, trying to be cheerful. Perhaps the only man who distrusted Luffe's ability to hold out was Brigadier Appleton, who had personal reasons for his views.
