Tb Turcoman dwellers In central
Asia are terrible robbers. They are
also slave dealers, selling all tb pris
oners whom they make in war or In
their thieving raids. Besides plunder

which lie In wait for Russian and Per

on board these ships, and tb unfortu

chief markets for slaves are Khiva
snd Bokhara. Sometimes they have a
difficulty In finding purchasers for all
their captives If these have been nu

equal to 13 pence of British money.
They keep many slsves to till tbelr
