The Lake of Alligators.

One of my first expeditions, after reaching
Karachi, was visit TO the Magyar Talao, as it
is called or Lake of Alligators. This curious
place is about eight miles from Karachl, and is
well worth inspecting to all who are fond of the
monstrous and grotesque. A moderate ride
through a sandy and sterile track, varied with
few patches of jungle, brings one to grove of
tamaried trees, hid in the bosom of which lie
the grisly brood of monsters. Little would one
ignorant of the locale suspect that under that
green wood, IN that tiny pool, which an active
leaper could half spring acoss, such hideous
denizens are concealed.
Here is the pool" said TO my guide, rather
contemptuously shut where are the align
tors?
At the same time, was stalking on very bold
w. with head erect. and rather inc lined to flout
the whole affair, naso adunco. A sudden hoarse
roar or bark, however, under my very feet, made
me execute pirouette in the air with extarordl-
nary adoltness, and perhaps with more animation
than grace. had almost stepped on young,
crocodan imp about three feet long, whose bite,
small as he was, would have been the reverse OF
pleasant.
Presently the genius of the place appeared in
the shape of wizard-lookng old Faklr, who,
on my presenting him with couple OF rupees
produced his wand-n other words, long pole
and then proceeded to call up his spirits. On
his shouting, "Ao. Ao!" Come Come J two
or three tunes, the wa;er suddenly became alive
with monsters. AT least three score huge alliga-
tors, some of them fifteen feet in length, made
their appearance, and came throngng to the
Shore The whole scene remained me OF fairy
tales The solitary wood the pool with its
strange inmates, the Fakr's lonely hut on the
hillside, the Fakr himself, tall. swart, and
gaan', the robber-ooking Biluchi by my side,
made up fantastic picture. Strange, too, the
control our Snowman displayed over his liona.
