travelling in the East

A palanquin for a sick person is
box in which bed can be- made. One
side is open when the person is laid in,
and is closed again and fastened. The
box has roof and window, some
times one at each end, for light and
ventilation. It is fastened to two poles,
which project both in front and rear Of
the box, and between these projecting
poles at each end a mule is made to
walk, to whose saddle the poles are at
tached. The mule in front can see well
enough, but the one behind has hard
time, because his face is CLOSE to the
rear of the box, and only the best and
most sure-footed animals are selected
for that difficult position. Even then
he is liable to stumble good deal, to
bruise his legs, and what is worse, to
shake and jar the sick person. The sick
man would ron from side to side, which
would cause the palanquin to turn, so
that often two men,, and always one..
had to walk by the side of the box to
keep it steady. Sometimes it would
strike against projecting rock or the
branches of tree and be almost upset.
The path, which was an unusually good
one for Syria, often went along the edge
of precipice, with ragged rocks shove
and a frightful gorge hundreds of feetbe-
meath. What if the mules should make
a misstep here! Such was always my
thought as I watched the palanquin and
the man steadying it while passing
those dangerous places. We were, how
ever, providentially spared from any
such accident and its consequent ca
iamity. We stopped but once during
the night, except to give our friend wa
ter, and that was only for twenty or
thirty minutes, in a narrow place, to let
long procession of camels and mules
pass. The moon was bright, and giant
hills, massive rocks, and deep, dark
gorges with the water rushing at the
bottom, dense patches of oleanders
along the banks of the stream, with
here and there the fire of Bedouin en-
campment, made up the scenery along
the route of our night march, until we
reached the Jordan, at $50 in the
morning. 1t has been long, anxious
night.-East of the Jordan.

several people for the loan of six
