The English Illustrated Magazine (London), 143-162Abstract: "I lunched at the bottom of the mountain at the tents of some Erkebat Arabs. They are a small amiable tribe, inhabiting this shore of the lake, numbering about 100 tents, of whom half are tenants of Abbas Effendi, the son of the Persian Holy-man, who lives at Acre, and is chief of the Persian sect of Babs. He has a granary, which we shortly after passed, at the south end of the lake, and owns a good deal of land in this neighbourhood."
