An oriental traveller describes this busy
scene, witnessed on historic shores ..Our
teamer landed on a beach which was the
port of Antioch, where the disciples were
first called Christians. There was no
town at the waters edge, no people, no
wharf. The passengers and merchandise
were put ashore in lighters which ran up
into the sand. A troop OF camels. with
their drivers, lay on the beach, ready to
transfer the goods into the interior.
Among the articles landed were boxes
marked DR. J. c. AVER &c Co., LOWELL.
Mass, U. S. A., showing that they con-
tanned medicines and whence they came.
These with other goo1s were hoisted ON
the backs of camels. for transportation to
Antioch. Thus the skill CT the West sends
