TURUT 385
11 afford a support to their slipping and sliding feet. When
we come to the track of the caravan which was recently /4 out to fetch the baggage it had left behind we made easier progress, for the clay was drier in the track. This incident
I ' reminded Ali Murat that fragments of the finest faience
are sometimes found at a certain place in the interior it of the Kevir. Most of it, however, had already been
carried to Ispahan to be sold to Europeans. The fact is that a large caravan loaded with faience travelled many years ago through the desert and was attacked and plundered by a band of Turkmans, who left the loads but took the camels, and led away their owners to sell them as slaves in the markets of Mery and Bukhara.

east. The difference of colour is produced solely by
t the declining sun. To the west the ground is darkened
Ii by the shadows of small knolls and inequalities in the
clay.
The sun descends in rosy splendour and draws the daylight down with it like an enormous magnet, and an hour later the moon rises, equally red but with a duller light. The lantern of night is, however, as welcome as the sun, and lights up the dismal desert with its pale
' brilliance. The sky is almost quite clear, and therefore
