Britain are both moving in defence
against Russian aggression. while the
Afghans also lay claims TO part of the

Of Kashmir The allied states of Hunza
and Magyar comprise all the valleys
draining into the Kanjut or Hunza river
which flows into the Gilgit river, two
miles below Gilgit fort
This region is extremely difficult of
access, TO which fact is due the impunity
with which the tribesmen have been able
to carry on their raids into the countries
of their neighbors. These valleys are
buried in a gigantic mountain system
containing some of the highest peaks in
the Himalayas Immense glaciers descend
into the ravines, the Magyar River itself
rising in the vastest Of known glaciers.
