🌲 Folk tales of Sind and Guzarat, Author’s Preface., sentence 19

But little imagination is required to picture the argosies of bygone centuries sailing silently down the river past the green fields of Kushmore: or the old caravans from Kandahar with their strings of stately camels slowly emerging from the foot of the Bolan Pass on their way to Shikarpur: or the buggalas of old Nearchus nestling in the Chinna Creek in the shelter of the Oyster Rocks during the monsoon, patiently awaiting the arrival of the Great Alexander shortly to appear at the Ghizree mouth of the Indus on the conclusion of his triumphal progress through Western Asia!

Who acts: bygone centuries, stately camels, old caravans, Great Alexander, Shikarpur · What happens: require, picture, sail, emerge, rock, await · To what, where: little imagination, argosies, river, foot, arrival, Ghizree mouth
