RECENT JOURNEYS IN PERSIA.

at the evening’s stage of Chahar Gunbaz, and so commenced the march
in hope. Throughout the day we approached a snow-clad range, which
appears^on no map, and, as we were at the end of March, I estimated
its heighti at 7000 or 8000 feet. The heat and thirst were very trying
and, to add to our discomfort, the water at the stage was simply green
with salt. I attempted to drink it with lime-juice tablets dissolved in
it, but in vain, and so I could only envy the others, who were able to
swallow it with apparently no ill results.

THE FORT AT BAM.
We were only about 15 miles from Duhuk, which lay under the
range referred to ; so, after a sleepless night, we pressed on as soon as it
was light, and by 10 a.m. we were able to enjoy beautiful water
running down from the hills. The villagers were anxious to see the
tirst European that had passed that way, and, considering their isolation,
knew a good deal about what was going on in the world. We had to
halt a day, as every one experienced such bad effects from the water of
the day before, that I was most thankful not to have touched it.
