valley where something black appears in the upper part—
it is the camels lying in a circle around their chaff—and
after a final struggle we are beside the camp fire.
Ilk They were dreadfully anxious, Mirza said, and all the
men were going to scatter in all directions and search the
country, only one man remaining with the camels. But
now they were glad I had come. It was January 13, and
I had lighted my morning cigarette at the wrong end, so
It evidently there must be some trouble. But all is well that
iii+ ends well, and I had had a good walk ; and now I perceived
Ilt that in future I had better not go far from the caravan
unless I was sure of the way. Had there been a change
in the weather, and had a fog such as we had experienced
during the previous days fallen over the country, it would
have been still harder to find the way.
IWhile the darkness increased I sat a while by the fire in my comfortably warm tent, and was glad that I had not to sleep out in a cleft. For dinner appeared the last chicken but one from Veramin, and it tasted excellent to ;I pillau and toast. The camp was the best we had found
hi for a long time. Some grass grew in the valley, and the
spring which formed a small rivulet yielded perfectly sweet
water. We therefore decided to stay here over the
If next day, so much the more that I was thoroughly tired
01 out, and that the camels needed rest after the trying
country where they constantly went up and down. The
absolute height was 3691 feet.
