GAIL Russians regard the conquest OF India as

coming of summer in June. They shake their
heads when any Englishman presnmes TO douot

arrive at the foot Of HHimmalayas, orthe banks OF
the Indus, would have the slightest chance of
being able to make head against the force which
the Governor General could gather upon the
