The great Shiráz earthquake some years ago, when over a thousand lost their lives, is still fresh in their minds. An easy ride, through a pretty and fertile country, brought us to the telegraph-station of Konar Takta, where Mr. E , the clerk in charge, had prepared a sumptuous breakfast. But we were not destined to enjoy it. They had, said Mr.
"Another night like the last would turn my hair grey," he said, as we bade him good-bye. Truly the lot of a Persian telegraph official is not always a bed of roses. A gradual descent of over two thousand feet leads from Konar Takta to the village of Dalaki, which is situated on a vast plain, partly cultivated, the southern extremity of which is washed by the waters of the Persian Gulf.
