ARRIVAL AT PERSEPOLIS.
seated on a carpet which was spread on a rock by the road-side, we
arose to depart, and the expression of his rough-bearded face looked so
very much like genuine grief on the occasion, that we were inclined to
give him credit for that feeling. As a parting present the Ambassador
sent him an opera-glass, which was described to him as a hunting
telescope, a silver hunting watch, and a small diamond ring.
We halted at Zergoon, where the heat was 106° at noon, and where
we were tormented by musquitoes, and frightened by tarantulas, the
bite of which the Persians affirm to be venomous and mortal. They
are certainly the most hideous of the spider species.
We reached Persepolis at two hours before sunrise on the 11th of
July, and remained there until the 13th at midnight. During this
interval no discoveries of importance were made ; but by the help of
the artillerymen we cleared away the very narrow passage into the first
tomb described by Chardin, and creeping in upon our bellies, found the
sarcophagi mentioned by that traveller, nearly covered over by an
accumulation of clay. Mr. Gordon got some villagers to dig for him
