 GABOLE. (308)

HE Gaboles, though a separate chin and Belochees, do not belong to the frontier system. They were servants of the Ameers, and employed to garrison the hill forts in the western mountains, where they held rent-free lands for their services. They are a characteristic race, and have marked and peculiar features, with an independence of manner which is striking and agreeable.

The person represented is five feet ten inches in height, has a fair complexion and dark grey eyes. His dress is entirely white, and does not differ from that of other Belochees.
