618 NEARCHUS' TASK.ander did, excepting military exploits, to the level of crassluck, to deny him any skill except that of the soldier, andeven to base this on the fortune which often attends the gambler.And yet the great among his contemporaries all gavehim credit for vast and true conceptions, and there weregiants in those days. The historians who had in hand thebest sources of information never doubted that his commercialsense and statecraft were as great as his power to leadmen ; and it seems as if what he accomplished is better susceptibleof this construction than explainable on the hypothesisof chance. For we can no more gauge his knowledge bythe intelligence of to-day than measure our own petty conquestsby the limitless extent of Alexander's.Nearchus had been selected to command the fleet onaccount of ancient amity, as well as courage and ability. Inmoving from the Indus, he was to sail the fleet along thecoast ; the army was to march by land. Alexander had himwait for the season of favorable coasting winds which camein October, now close at hand. Nearchus, one of the friendsof Alexander's youth and one of those who had been banishedwhen he quarreled with his father, had volunteered toperform this perilous duty. The intelligence as well as theboldness of his voyage can scarcely be understood to-day, sodifficult is it to place one's self in the position of those whowrought more than twenty-two centuries since.Though hehad for a while imagined the Acesines to be the head watersof the Nile, the king no doubt had come to believe thatthe Persian Gidi could be reached from the mouth of theIndus ; and it was this which Alexander desired to prove,so as to carry out his scheme of trade between India andPersia and the West, in other words, to connect the Indusand the Euphrates.But it was a leap in the dark. The army was to march
THE ARMY STARTS. 619through a desert where it was doubtful whether it could renderany aid to the fleet ; the bold seamen might disappearinto unknown seas, and liever again be heard from. Botharmy and fleet were forlorn hopes. It is hard to say whichwas the more inhospitable, the shores along which Nearchuswas to sail, where alone dwelt the Ichthyophagi, or the broilingsands of the Gedrosian desert, never yet crossed by abody of men. The boldness of Nearchus' voyage is extraordinary.He had, measured by his exploit, very poor vesselsat command. He had naught but sun and stars to tell himhis direction. He must land each night on a shore ill-conditionedby nature and dangerous perhaps from its population.His vessels could carry but small supplies. He mightsail into seas and guHs out of which he could never find hisway, or whose coasts would afford him neither food nor water.Nearchus undertook this peril at Alexander's behest. Thissurely looks less like greed of conquest than the true discoverer'sinstinct.Alexander was the first to start.It was the close of summer.He marched with the army from Patala by way of his depotat Minagara, and in nine days reached the Arabius, about onehundred miles from the Indus. Himself with Leonnatus andPtolemy commanded the three columns of marcli. The troopswere one half the targeteers and archers, the phalanx, exceptwhat marched with Craterus, the agema of Companion cavalry,a squadron from each cavalry regiment and the horsebowmen.These three columns kept near the coast and, onthe way, dug wells in all the large coves from which the fleetmight get water, when it should sail by. These wells weremarked in such a manner as to be easily found. Hephaestionfollowed with the main army on a line farther inland. Thisdivision of forces was made in order to cover as wide a spaceas possible, and pick up as many of the barbarians as should
