On leaving Karashar we had to cross the
river by ferry at the end of the town. It was
about one hundred and fifty yards wide, and
three to four feet deep, running through a level
country, which would be flooded out if the
river rose another couple of feet. The boat,
which just held our cart and my two ponies,
was poled across by three Kalmaks.

At a hundred yards after leaving the ferry
we had to ford a branch of the river, some
thirty yards broad, and deep enough in places
to wet the inside of the cart again. After this
we passed over a swamp, and three times our
cart stuck. The first time we were three

was not till we had taken everything out of
the cart, and engaged some Turks to help
shove and pull, that we succeeded in doing so.
We then got along all right for a couple of
miles, when we stuck again, and a second
time had to unload everything. We then
got clear of the swamp, but stuck a third
time in a deep rut! The animals were so
exhausted, that it was impossible to get on
that night, as it was one o'clock; and we
