The Indian Review July 1885

1885

In order to define the limits of this particular locality we must carry a line from the highlands of the Ak-Su to the Yeshil-kul Pamir ; this line would then pass round the Alichur-Murghab mountains at the mouth of the Ak-Baital and taking in the basins of the river Kokui-Beli and of lake Kara-kul would pass to the Kashgarian Pamir. [...] The chief part of this population is centred in the valleys of Northern and Sotithern Gez (in the neighbourhood of Muji the winter quarters of the Bek of whom I have spoken) in the Rang-Kul region along the Ak-Baital and the Alc-Su and on the Alichur (where there are some 20 kibitkas) and in the basin of the Kokui-Beli. [...] The attitude of the savage brute pinned against the rock the right paw on the ground but open and ready for mischief the left foreleg planted firmly on the slope and over the body of the kid is exceedingly fine as is that of the majestic eagle every feather of whose mighty wings seems a quiver with rage and eagerness. [...] The most gorgeous and in a sense the picture at the Exposition is the immense canvas of M. Clairin entitled " After the Victory." The scene is the vast court of an Hispano-Moorish palace possibly the Alhambra itself thronged with hundreds of Arab warriors ; in the centre are Sheiks prostrating themselves before the green-robed Emir and in the foreground are the trophies of war—slain chieftains [...] traders get the fair share of exercise to my faculties by that act which nature intended for me making all these fafetched matters important to my comfort ? It is Smith himself and his carriers and dealers and manufacturers ; it is the sailor the hide-drogher the butcher the negro the hunter and the planter who have intercepted the sugar of the sugar and the cotton of the cotton.
