George Maxwell Gordon; the pilgrim missionary of the PunjabA history of his life and work, 1839-1880 . I grieve at the thought of not meeting heragain below. In June 1879, Gordon left Dera Ghazi Khan topay a visit to the Nugents at Pind Dadan Khan. Thetwo new missionaries then went westward to theSulaiman Hills to Fort Munro, to make acquaint-ance with the wandering tribes, and to find outwhat prospects for work there would be amongthem. In July they were again joined by Gordon, whowrites to Miss Holmes on the 26th, describing a visitto an encampment of Bilochis :— I went a few daysago with Dr. Jukes to one of the gipsy camps, an oper-ation was to be performed on a very small baby, weknelt together on the hillside and asked Gods bless-ing in native language.

At this time they were an independent people, living under the dual government of two chiefs, likethe Spartans of old.
