We rode the greater part of the night, over a plain more gravelly than sandy, where some ashour trees This ground is called El Barka. After a seven hours' march, we stopped at El Kara. January 17th. We slept a few hours during the night, a circumstance that seldom occurred on this journey.
Of these Ma-Han occupied the whole of the western half of the peninsula along the coast of the Yellow Sea; while Sin-Han and Pyong-Han formed the eastern half, lying along the shore of the Sea of Japan. But Japan's relations with the peninsula did not always involve these major divisions. Shiragi and Kara were principalities carved respectively out of the southeast and south of Pyong-Han.
"Most of your story is true, Mr. Lexman," said this astonishing girl, oblivious of the amazed eyes that were staring at her, "but Kara deceived you in one respect." "What do you mean?" asked John Lexman, rising unsteadily to his feet.
I was badly mounted at the first and at each succeeding stage, when after an infinitude of difficulty and misunderstanding I had secured an exchange, it seemed to be always for the worse. Some two months before at Kara Bounar, I had been affected by a touch of dysentery and this assailing me anew when my journey was only half through, made progress dreadfully difficult.
"I am afraid, Miss Holland, I've got myself into very serious trouble." "What is that, Fisher!" asked the girl.

The following is the account which Wuk Stephanovitch gives of this engagement. "The Turks demanded the delivery of the Servian arms.
We lost half an hour in wandering among the hills; and, after travelling four hours over piny uplands, without finding the village of Kara Koei, encamped on a dry plain, on the western bank of the river. There was not a spear of grass for the beasts, everything being eaten up by the grasshoppers, and there were no Turcomans near who could supply us with food.
May I say that it was wonderful to see you? I did not dream that any one of our Girl Scout Troop could dance as you do. I am sure Kara must have enjoyed watching you. So you will forgive my not having told you we were near." The girl in the wheeled chair lifted her head. "I wonder, Tory, why you think I enjoy seeing another person dance?
Still it is hateful, of course, living among such a gang as these fellows." "They look pretty bad," Godfrey said. "Bad is not the word for it," the other said. "A man I know who works as a clerk in the office told me that there are about two thousand two hundred prisoners in the six prisons of Kara, but of these only about a hundred and fifty are women.
