The gates of the city were closed when Dr. Roby returned, laden with many rare balsams. The consequence was, he was obliged to find quarters in a tomb in the valley of Jehoshaphat.
Our impression of its height was confirmed by climbing the very steep slope at its side some three or four hundred feet.
