A pleasant surprise was a fine vein of sugary quartz trending north-south: at that period we little suspected the sub-range to the south perhaps also the northern of being, in places, one mighty mass of "white stone." After covering six miles in an hour and three-quarters, exaggerated by the guides to three, we suddenly sighted the inland fort.
Ahmed Kaptan fixed them, by solar observations, in north lat. 26 13', so that we made only one mile of southing. It ignores the porphyritic sub-range in which the "Mother of the Villages" lies: and it brings close to the east of it the tall peaks of the Tihamat-Balawiyyah' which, from this point, rise like azure shadows on the horizon. Finally, it corrupts Umm el-Karayat to Feyrabat.
Between these mountains you will see a narrow and very picturesque valley known as Powell's Fort Valley. Passage creek, a most delightful little stream, winds through it and joins the Shenandoah below. West of Kells may be seen a parallel sub-range containing Peaked Ridge, Three Top and Little Massanutten, which is crossed by a road that connects New Market and Luray.
