The life of a pastoral race, on the contrary, is a perennial holiday, and I can imagine nothing except the prospect of starvation which could induce men who live by their flocks and herds to make the transition to agricultural life. The prospect of starvation is, in fact, the cause of the transition probably in all cases, and certainly in the case of the Bashkirs.
The day grew hotter and hotter, the people more and more exhausted, and gradually, in the general rush forwards to the lake, all discipline and command were lost all attempts to preserve a rear-guard were neglected the wild Bashkirs rode in amongst the encumbered people, and slaughtered them by wholesale, and almost without resistance.

Pahom plied him with questions, and the tradesman said: "There is more land there than you could cover if you walked a year, and it all belongs to the Bashkirs.
