Tired out with the stiff climb, I fell into a delicious slumber, notwithstanding the noise, about nine o'clock, to be awakened shortly after by a soft, cold substance falling heavily, with a splash, upon my face. I purchased, the next morning before starting, a Persian dagger belonging to one of the caravan-men. The blade of the dagger is purest Damascene work, the handle of fossilized ivory.
Whilst spreading the saddle-mats, our women, to charm away remembrance of chafed hump and bruised sides, sang with vigor the "Song of Travel": "0 caravan-men, we deceive ye not, we have laden the camels! Allah guard thee from the Mikahil and their Midgans!"
A bright starlit night favoured us, and, with the exception of a couple of falls apiece, we were none the worse. We found, too, to our great delight, a blazing fire burning in the post-house, kindled by some caravan-men. But there is always a saving clause in Persia.
