Synopsis
General Nott left Quetta on 26 October 1839 to take command at Kandahar. General Willshire returning across country from Kabul via Ghazni reached Quetta on 31 October. On orders from Sir John Keane he immediately left for Kalat which was stormed. Captain Bean, the political officer of Shawl Province, was charged with pacifying the disaffected tribes but found it a difficult task. Quetta was attacked, Kahan besieged and Kalat lost only to be recovered once more.
