Connoisseurs say that the dagger is over a hundred years old. I have since been offered four times the amount by a good judge of Eastern weapons. A second pass, the Kotal Doktar, lay between us and Bushire.
I was glad not to learn the truth till we reached Kazeroon. The enjoyment of the meal of which we partook at the summit of the pass would have been somewhat damped by the feeling that at any moment a loud roar, bursting out of the silent fastnesses of the Kotal Doktar, might announce the approach of its grim tenant.
It was like coming from the grave, after the sterile deserts and bleak desolate plains of Northern Persia. There is a small square building at the northern end of the Kotal Doktar, a mud hut, in which are stationed a guard of soldiers to be of assistance in the event of robbery of caravans or travellers. Such cases are not infrequent.
