. With the Beduins, a narrative of journeys and adventures in unfrequented parts of Syria . ndthree hundred feet below. We kept along thedesolate west shore of its blue waters under JebelUsdum (the mountain of Sodom) which rose highabove our path ; and leaving the south end of the lakebehind us, succeeded in getting at the end of the sixthday after leaving Jerusalem to a place called El Eskrib,which is within two long days journey of Petra, andof Jebel Haroun (Mount Hor). We had kept thismountain constantly in sight all day, longing to reachits summit, and knowing that hidden in a deep valleynear it lay Petra, the dearest object of our hopes.
