HIS

lective view of our diversified cavalcade, all in slow motion,
and shifting as the objects in a kaleidescope. One of our
party, dismounting to collect some plants, had left his horse
to keep its place in the train; but cutting across an angle in
the road, it thrust itself between the baggage-horses, which
were connected by cords: this checked them, and as the
narrow grip worn in the rock was scarcely wide enough for
their feet to pass each other, they all stumbled, and fell in
confusion. My experience told me that our progress was
stayed for fully an hour. Our Turk Kezann was also aware
of this, for he immediately dismounted, and, sitting on the
rock, prepared his pipe for an hour's repose and meditation
on the interruption. The poor animals were unloaded, and
with difficulty lifted up; a few cuts, and slight exhaustion
from struggling, were all the ill effects beside the delay.
During our detention we were passed by a Turkish family
travelling towards Idin: the female of the party afforded
the annexed subject for the pencil.
