158 IN THE LAND OP THE BORA. 



getting paper money cashed at some of the 

 Dalmatian towns. Unfortunately, I was not 

 aware, before I came, of that excellent arrangement 

 the Austrian sparcasse, or Post-Office Savings- 

 Bank. If you put your money in this at Trieste, 

 you can draw out what you require at any post- 

 office without giving previous notice, on pro- 

 duction of passport ; and this is the plan that 

 the natives resort to when travelling. This is a 

 "wrinkle" which applies to other travellers than 

 to the camper, and, I may add, to every part of 

 Austria, but not to the occupied provinces of 

 Bosnia and Herzegovina. 



As I have mentioned passports, I may as well 

 say that such a document is absolutely necessary 

 in journeys of this kind. It must be produced 

 to get a permit to carry arms, and also greatly 

 facilitates getting one's letters at the various 

 post-offices.
