Ali Gohur (our guide). Apr.1886. 'Ghazan Khan would not hear of his going up to the passes, but appointed a man, by name Ali Gauhar, chief of Ghulkin, to accompany the officers instead. Ali Gauhur was a fine handsome blue-eyed and brown-bearded Gujali of about 40, who spoke Persian well. He was always in the highest of spirits, quoting proverbs and making jokes, and, when a difficulty arose with the people of the country, his whip generally solved it - used not brutally, but with a genial jocularity that deprived it of its sting. If a Balti had troube with his load up some precipitous path, or is a pony refused to be led along some rocky ledge, Ali Gauhur was sure to be on the spot to help, and, when not engaged on such work, he would relate stories about his country and his forefathers, or else, with head thrown back and feet thrust forward in his broad stirrups, would sing a discordant song'.
