Dschoufoutkale . In a recess upoi our right hand appeared the ceme . tery , or " field of dead ^ belonging to the Karaite Jews . Nothing could be imagined more calculated
to inspire holy meditation . It was a beautiful grove , filling * chasm of the mountains , rendered dark by the shade of lofty trees and overhanging rocks . A winding path conducted through this solemn scene . Several tombs of
white marble presented a fine contrast to the deep green of the foliage , and some female figures in white veils were offering pious lamentations over the graves . A * evening or a morning visit to tn « sepulchres of their departed friend * is perhaps the only airing ) R ¦ H
