valley where something black appears in the upper part—

it is the camels lying in a circle around their chaff—and

men were going to scatter in all directions and search the

country, only one man remaining with the camels. But

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

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

country where they constantly went up and down. The

absolute height was 3691 feet.
