They have been distinctly traced in several localities. As you look down there now you see a narrow lane with uneven rows of buildings on either side ; the projecting windows almost touch each other, and in some localities they are less than a foot apart. Hand-shaking and osculation would be easy across the streets, and elopements and intrigues are facilitated by the proximity of opposite dwellings. WHERE ST. PAUL WAS CONVERTED. 28 1 We went near the wall outside of the city, and were shown sev...- eral of the local curiosities. We passed a projecting tower of early Saracenic masonry, and near it our attention was called to an old gateway, which has been walled up more than 700 years. This is the reputed scene of Paul's escape from Da- mascus. The window was shown until within the past twenty years, when some changes in the wall removed it. In front of the gate we were shown the tomb of George, the porter who aided St. Paul in his escape, and was martyred in consequence. Our guide was a Christian Arab, and spoke of the place with great veneration, as do all the native Christians.
