AT Issok Bulok Agzi it was necessary to halt for a day that the men might repair their cherooks, which had become quite dilapidated. So lofty and precipitous
were the walls of the narrow valley that the winter sun
was visible only for about three hours a day, but there
was abundance of firewood, and we cheered ourselves
with blazing camp-fires. I now obtained a much more
satisfactory chronometric value for the longitude of the
place than I had formerly been able to obtain, and I was
anxious to revisit Zad, to check the longitude I had
assigned to that spot, and also that of Bazar Dara, which
was connected with Zad by triangulation.
