We have with us 1 young boy, a*master scout who has worked in the Orphanages this sum- mer, prior to going into the interior of Turkey to Tarsus to work in the sehool there. He is a Mason and ~has*been eager to make this trip up to Tyre and to King Hiram’s tomb. “We arose very early—at four— and hurriedly did all the necessary Saturday toil, my work being the bathing of 1200 children, with moth- | erly advice to some large boys, ete. | o by great rushing we were able to start for Tyre at ten. It is about thirty miles to Tyre, but we did not | get there until 2 or later, as we had three punctures enroute. The ride down is lovely along the shore of | the blue sea, passing frequently | little coffee houses, where alone Veg- | etation abounds, and more often passing berowins and camel trains, on the hot and dusty road, seeming- | ly quite immune to the terrible heat. | We saw along the road as we neured Tyre the remains of the ancient aquaduct built by the Romans, which carried water from Solomon's pools | to Tyre and the once rick valley. he water is still carried into the this way, but thegl Tyre is no longer watered jis therefore wast.

We were entertained by various fables as to the wonderful antiquities dug up around here. One village. we passed is called Ain Bal. This means the eyes of Bal, the ancient God. History says that this was a place sacred to Baal in ancient days. Sev- eral years ago a poor shepherd was herding in this valley and ‘he dis- covered a cave or tomb which he en- tered and found a large earthen jar full of gold.
