From the Amu Daria and the Turcoman steppes to the deserts of Beloochistan, from Persian Khorassan to the valley of the Indus, stretches the country of the Afghans. Men of renown and events of world-wide interest have been connected with its history. Afghan history dies away, in the hymns of the Indian Vedas, eighteen hundred years before the birth of Christ.

The prince had resisted, and with his sword, had wounded the soldier; and instantly every British gun on that spot had been pointed at the nobles of Beloochistan. This was why the nobles were lying in the agonies of death.

His troops refuse to march towards the Ganges, and he commences the descent of the Indus. He directs his admiral, Nearchus, to sail round from the Indus to the Persian Gulf; and leads the army back across Scinde and Beloochistan. Alexander returns to Babylon.
The difficulties besetting the path of knowledge appeared to be insurmountable. Even if he had the books and the time he could never learn anything his head would prevent it. "Bound Beloochistan, Tom," said the tutor, and Tom, a stout, fair-haired boy with a heavy face, went through the process to the satisfaction of Mr. Graves and to the amazement of Nicholas.
