The two expedl- tions emphasize the physical fact that the Ghor, which contains the Dead Sea and the Jordan, naturally di- vides Palestine into east and west, each with its own peculiar features and history., The Province of Moab consists of four narrow strips of land running north and seuth almost parallel with the Ghor. Most western of the four strips of land in Moab is the wild, rugged escarpment of the Dead Sea, which Is high upraised, and from which this part of Palestine slopes gently down, with rolling hills, ruddy from the plough, or gold with waving harvests, on its way east to desert waste, Seen from the west, from the far shore of the Dead Sea, this mighty escarpment rises up, a great moun- tain wall, with slope and sheer pre- to 4,000 feet; iis headlands grandly im-~ suggestive of the Infinite. South of this the view extends to where the promontory of El Lisan thrusts its head nurthward, and, in the bay which it forms, the Wadi Kerak empties its waters, a crystal stream against the. darkening sea, Even from below the eya wanders instinctivel © to the frowning preei= pice above, searching for castle or keep. There, thousards of feet above the sea, entirely separated from the mountain side (save for a narrow neck of rock), on a strange triansu- lar ridge, stands tax nest in the roek of Moab-Kerak, the Crow's Fortress, the Kier Moab of Isaiah, the capital of the province wn whose ancient walls King Mesna sacrificed his eid- est son to propitiate his god, Che- mosh, in his war against Israel and Judah. North of Trafile. and but three days' mareh from Shobek, it was ong of tHe world's strongest natural for- tresses. It probably had several an- trances through tunnels bored in the rock itself, one of which was hollow. ed out into :a Impressive entrance hall, It bas roek-hewn feservoirs, conduits and cisterns; the Moslem tradition is that Payen, King Fulk"s cup-bearer, built it; it has traces not only of Roman and Byzantine occu- pation, but of much earlier periods. it was the residence of the Grand Master of the Hospitallers; Nalek-er- Daher, Sultan of Egypt, took it from him and restored it. It shows Euros pean design and influence, the round- ed towers projecting considerably from the walls exhibiting a French origin, though the main walls are older; they increase from above in thickness as a protection against sapping. The walls of the keep rise from a moat inside the front line of fortif- cations, the Christian chapel now being used as a mosque. There is & beautiful Gothic banguetting hall; and along the too of the wall runs a passage leading to a magnificent chamber and round tower with pointed windows. The Latin Kings of Jerusalem .occupied it and in- ereased its fortifications, for it guarded the caravan routes from rg and Arabia to Damascus. It be: e the chief town of the Cru- sading Seigneurie of Kerak de Montreal, which ipcluded also Hebron. When Renaud de Chatillon held it, Saladin repeatedly laid siege to it, taking. it in 1188. It was this Renaud who was the provoking cause of the fatal termination of the Great Crusade by the battle of Hat tin. Saladin offered Renaud his life > , projecting pressive, if' be would become a Moslem, but || he refused, and so Moab passed into |! Moslem hands. It was in 1238 that the Emir of Keérak captured Jerusalem and thus drove out t.e Knights. Atul Fida, who was born in Damascus in 1273, states there was a thermal spring and bath in the valley below Kerak, and that about the city there were many beautiful orchards of apricots, pears and pomegranates. Kerak to-day bas a population of about eight thousand, a large humber of whom live in the buildings under the great keep, while per towers.

Stretches of wheat and. millet may be seen, while cattle are bred both there De- {and further east. Some attempts have been made to place salling vesse's and a steam ferry upon the Dead Sea go that the products of Moab may reach Jerusalem, its natural outlet, instead of being dispersed by the long, tediolis, caravan routes round the north and south of the Dead Sen.
