Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pamirs, Vol. 2 of 2: Being a Narrative of a Year's Expedition on Horseback and on Foot Through Kashmir, Western Tibet, Chinese Tartary, and Russian Central Asia
Of the name Of Sariq-qol (yellow glen), as the colour Of these hills is a creamy yellow; but the shadows are, notwithstanding, a delicate blue.
After riding for about an hour down the glen, we came upon a snug little farm Of about eight acres, on which the people were thrashing their corn.
The modus operandi is as follows: The corn is laid down on the ground, and a large stick or pole is driven into the middle of it. TO this pole are attached two cows and four donkeys harnessed abreast with ropes, a boy runs behind them urging them on to their best pace with voice and stick, and so they trot round and round, treading out the ears Of corn as they go. Roche took an instantaneous photograph of this. A little further On we passed another small holding; there they were also thrashing, but the team this time consisted of four cows and six donkeys abreast.
