An ImpreKna = BILE Pass.
[London Standard

QUETTAH, Dec 24.-Between Mach and Dar-
waZa the character OF the pass suddenly
changes. The low hills of shingle or con-
glomerate disappear, and their place is taken
by lofty cliffs, which rise on either hand from
the smooth floor of pebbles to q height of
many hundreds OF feet. The valley has now
become narrow gorge, and nowhere could
twenty men stand abreast. So sharply does
the pass wind In several places that you can
not see Its course fifteen yards ahead, and the
feeling is almost that OF being at the bottom
OF an enormous we'll. Bushes and even trees
grow In the cracks and crevices Of the cliffs,
and In spring these wallis OF rock must be
lovely indeed. Even now they are very grand
and picturesque. The natives tell me that
the only path by which the defile can be
this is 80 the Bolan ranks among the very few
tmpregnable passes of the world
Further on soldiers were hauling wagons
