These details of ancient history I am prone to forget. How came it about? Nofuhl. I have spoken of the Mehrikans being a greedy race. And their greed, at last, resulted in this war. By means of one-sided laws of their own making they secured for themselves a lion's share of all profits from the world's commerce.
"In my history 'twas writ they buried them in the earth like potatoes, and left them to rot." And Nofuhl answered: "At one time it was so, but later on, as they became more civilized, the custom was abandoned." "Is it possible?" I asked, "that this woman has been lying here almost a thousand years and yet so well preserved?" "I, also, am surprised," said Nofuhl.
They read the same books; they fashioned their garments as directed, with no regard for the size or figure of the individual, and copied to a stitch the fashions of Europeans. Khan-li. But the close-fitting apparel of the European must have been sadly uncomfortable in the heat of a Mehrikan summer. Nofuhl So probably it was. Stiff boxes of varying patterns adorned the heads of men.
I landed about noon, accompanied by Nofuhl, Lev-el-Hedyd, Bhoz-ja-khaz, Ad-el-pate, Kuzundam the first mate, Tik'l-palyt the cook, Fattan-laiz-eh, and two sailors. Our march had scarce begun when a startling discovery caused great commotion in our minds.
"They were beautiful," he answered; "with graceful forms and lovely faces; a pleasure to the eye; also were they gay and sprightly with much animation." Thereupon cried Lev-el-Hedyd: "Here are the first words thou hast uttered, O Nofuhl, that cause me to regret the extinction of this people!" There is ever a place in my heart for a blushing maiden!"
"That is curious! But as I remember, they were a people of elastic honor." "They were so considered," said Nofuhl; "their commercial honor was a jest. They were sharper than the Turks. Prosperity was their god, with cunning and invention for his prophets. Their restless activity no Persian can comprehend.
It was their desire to be like others. A natural feeling in a vulgar people. 15th May A fair wind from the West to-day. We weighed anchor and sailed up the Eastern side of the city. I did this as Nofuhl finds the upper portion of the town much richer in relics than the lower, which seems to have been given up to commercial purposes.
He pointed to the West and .said the country in that direction was covered with ruined cities. When Nofuhl told him we were friends, and presented him at my direction with a hunting-knife of fine workmanship, he pushed out his right arm toward me and held it there.
Even distant relatives of titled people were greeted with the warmest enthusiasm." Then I said to him, "But explain to me, O Nofuhl, how it was possible for so shallow a nation to become so great." "They were great only in numbers and too weak to endure success.
Nofuhl. The Mehrikans had eighty heavy ships of iron, with a number of smaller craft. The allies had two hundred and forty heavy battleships, all of iron. They also had smaller craft for divers purposes. Khan-li. Allah! A bad prospect for our greedy friends! And being a nation of traders they had no liking, probably, for the perils of war. Nofuhl. As to that historians differ.
