any direction. We often thought of the pleasant
vales of Koordistan, beautiful even in their autumnal
decay. Old Goodroon still reared his head in the
distance.
All the waters, yesterday and to-day, ran to our
left hand. At half past seven, a road branched off a
little to the south of ours to Kerkook. Soon after
eight Ave were obliged to halt, to replace a shoe
which my horse had cast. Khalkhalan and Keuy
Sanjiak were hence due north of us. We mounted
again at half past eight. The country now was
rather less cut up, or at least not to that great depth ;
and at ten minutes before ten we arrived at the
village of Kafar, our place of rest for to-day. The
peasants are mostly in tents about the village. Here
both lands and people belong to Kerkook, and we
have fairly bid adieu to Koordistan. We were three
hours and thirty-five minutes performing our journey
of to-day.
Omar Aga joined us last night from Sulimania.
He tells us that Osman Bey has at length consented
to go to Keuy Sanjiak. Poor Omar Aga has failed
in his application for the restoration of his villages,
and has brought with him all his men and family,
except the women. I will yet do what I can for him.
Thermometer—6 a.m . 50° ; 2 p.m . 88°.
Octoher 25.—We were off by six this morning;
our road N. 30 W, We descended into a valley.
