of poor Wakhan could provide was forthcoming under the
Amir's orders.
At Sarhad, the highest village on the Oxus and a place
of ancient occupation, the kindest reception awaited me.
Colonel Shirindil Khan, commanding the Afghan frontier
garrisons on the Oxus, had been sent up there with an im-
posing escort (Fig. 16). This delightful old warrior had fought
through all the troubled times preceding and following the
accession of that remarkable Afghan ruler, Amir 'Abdur-
rahman. He proved a fountain-head of interesting informa-
tion about Badakhshan, its people and ancient remains. Was
it not like being wafted back many centuries to listen to this
gentlemanly old soldier who, in his younger days, when
'Abdurrahman was still new in the saddle, had helped to
build up pyramids of rebel heads just to establish order,
after Isa Khan's great rising, in the time-honoured fashion of
Central Asia? Gladly should I have tarried by the Oxus to
absorb more of this living historical record. But regard for the
hardships already undergone by my military hosts—and
touching appeals from the peaceful Wakhi villagers, whose
scanty resources were threatened with exhaustion by the
escort's prolonged stay—urged me onwards.
The first two marches up the Oxus were made very trying
by the fact that the winter route along the river-bed was
already closed by the flooded river, while the high summer
track was still impracticable owing to heavy masses of snow.
The agility with which our Badakhshi ponies scrambled up
and down precipitous rock slopes was wonderful to behold.
Again and again only the incessant watchfulness of our
escort saved the baggage from bounding down into the
tossing grey waters of the river.
