32 OVERLAND TO INDIA
CHAP.
excellent stone bridge of one arch spans the stream, and at the bridge-head on the right bank is the burial-ground of the village, with two solitary cypresses. Small patches of arable land are ploughed with oxen, and sowing is already commenced.
The valley is now narrow and winding, the river rages
among fallen blocks, and from the village Ganni-pellet the road makes a steep zigzag up the slope. High up on the other side grazing sheep appear like small spots, and
through a gap in the direction of the valley is what seems t
to be the Black Sea, but it is not clearly perceptible. We II
mount up and the murmur of the stream grows fainter. I
One rivulet after another springs out beside the road, its i
opening covered by a small stone arch. On the left side p
of the valley stand steep walls of rock. A village of
scattered homesteads is called Attli-killsa, and Jevislik I
consists of a single street, where many smiths and farriers i

In Jevislik we stayed for the night. Several of the
houses have quite a European appearance, white-washed, provided with solid six-paned windows and shingle roof. From my window in the inn I had a view over the valley and river, the roar of which drowned all other sounds. In the room placed at my disposal were two iron bedsteads, but Turkish mattresses are always suspicious, and I pre-
ferred my tent-bed. When one sees Turkish families i
come jolting up in their fully-packed waggons, and then
turn with all their belongings into the rest-house (khan), i
one can imagine the influx of vermin that takes place. In li
summer the place must swarm with them, especially the
kind that frequents walls and beds. But in the cool of 1
winter one has peace, and I came well off, without any loss 1
of blood worth speaking of.
