We had intended, according to our original Latter rain. P] an ^ fo } eave ]S T ablous the day after our arrival, but were unfortunately detained there for four days by the " latter rain. " This scriptural expression is still used by the inhabitants of the country. The " former rain " falls in December, and the "latter rain" in the end of March. In the year 1862, owing to the scarcity of rain, the inhabitants were fearful of losing their crops. The week before our arrival the Governor of Nablous... had ordered a day of humiliation and prayer for this blessing. The Christians had prayed at Jacob's Well, the Mahometans at Mount Ebal, and the Samaritans on the summit of Gerizim. The winds blew and torrents of rain descended during our first night at Nablous. We were awaked by the hurricane and the pelting of the rain upon our tents, which unhappily were not waterproof. Our attendants found it necessary at once to secure the pegs, which were the only support of our unsubstantial dwellings. A travelling com- panion told me that he could find no refuge but the somewhat ignominious one of hiding beneath the bed- clothes.
