We see the characteristic traits of the GhoOrkss in
the fact that the English when deserted by the Him.
doc Sepoys and Sikhs relied especially on the Ghoor'
kas whom they considered as the best soldiers A7esdy
in 1876 according to Smith, they had four ba;:sons Of
Nepsulese troops each Of 10 companies, consisting o!
| .ubahdar 4 dshemedars, shavildais, nacks, bu-
gere and 100 soldiers. One battalion was stationed n
Smor, two in Sabalthu, ard one in Kucissn. The
Ghoorkss wore their mountain costume. TheJ were nc.
burdened with tents but were accustomed to bivouSc
in the open air. Col Nichols would not trust the .ia
highanders at first. lie thought they would not fgh.
sgainst their brothers in Nepsul. Their commander
laughed at the dea. As soldiers of fortune they
would be true and brave toward those by whom they
were paid. The Governor. General coon hal reason
TO praise them. In 1926, the Sirmor bsttslion wa
divided into ten more companies. They acted faith
fully toward the English and their regard BY
their bravery. "The EuropesIs,' they thought,
" are brave as lions They are splendid soliers-s.
" most equal to u.s." The Ghoorka corps is armed with
muskets Their uniform resembles thst of the Sep,yt
of the line; it is greer, with black trimmings bscl
sashes and green shakos with decorations Of bronze
Their peculiar weapon is the khoksry, which ie frOu
IA TO 1G inches long, and q inches broad shaped like
a crooked knife. The scabbsrd contains, beside this
several small knivee scissors needles and thread and
piece Of dry bark for tnder. So the soldier Is nde-
pendent OF commiseary. II he Ia hungry, he shoo.l
bird, cuts wood and builds Hrs for himself
The true Ghoorkais dstins by his cheek
bones his broad Tartar features bis little eyes, and The
entire absence Of beard from bis cheeks Only on the
upper lip has he few hairs which are cultivated With
care. lie is considerably smaller than the Hudoo,
broader breasted, with . neck Like steer and his
muscles on the legs and arms enormously dsvel.
oped He is capable Of great endurance. 10 hs hunt
ing expeditions in the wild forests ne makes daily
marches which are incredible to the European and re-.
turns home heavily laden With bis booty. Hshsquert
expeditions Of the kind make him an excellent shct for
he must be economical with bis ammunition. The
Ghoorkas are very tractabe, and although easily excl
ted they are by no means revengeful. They are pss
sionate gamblers but have little regard for money.
On festival days they drink deeply, but never when in
service They are very supersttious. At a ssci6cs
skilful swordsman will cut off the head of buffalo
ct tingle blow. Men, women and children then
snoint their hands and feet with the blood of the
slaughtered animal. They are not very proud Of weU-
ug the European uniform, and the discharged soisrs
generally return to their places at the plow.
