Left the next morning at 7 a. M. , and did the 102 miles here in eleven hours ; besides an hour spent at Attock, where you cross a bridge of boats, a most picturesque hot place, the scenery very pretty all the way ; you cross several ridges and very broken ground, frightfully difficult for an invading army, snowy mountains in the distance. Dead bullocks, carcases of camels, convoys, all betoken a state of war. Peshawur is totally unlike Indian cities, and to-day of course still more unlike. Qui...te a new people. March i6th. I have seen the famous Khyber Pass, well worth the journey and the trouble. I cannot attempt any description; I should not know where to begin ! I climbed up the line of heights which the Afghans defended, down and up again into the fort of Ali Musjid, now held by Ghourkas, and through the narrow gorge, which is wild and magnificent. The camp below was a wonderful sight elephant batteries Madras sappers natives of all kinds, and English R. A. Men. Of course I visited the field hospital, which was admirably kept.
