Description
In midwinter the mountain range between Persia and Iraq is covered in deep drifts of snow. At times it was so cold that it hurt to breathe, and the travellers could not open their mouths to speak. Sometimes they rode in the travelling litter, slung between two jolting mules, and at other times they trudged beside the mules, plunging into the snow with every step.
