IN THE LAND OF THE BORA. 319 



to us Narenta trout were only obtainable with a 

 silver hook. N.B. — Price of trout here 8d. per 

 oJca (about 2£ lbs.). 



A very few days after our arrival the higher 

 hills were covered with snow, which led me to think 

 we had moved in time. Down here it was warm 

 enough ; in fact, at times oppressive, and one night 

 we had to sleep with the tent door open. Of 

 course it would have been easy to have the stove 

 outside, but the weather was very unsettled, and in 

 camp it is worth anything to get the tent dry and 

 snug quickly after rain. The difference between 

 this and the cold, clammy, everything-damp feel- 

 ing when there is no stove must be experienced to 

 be appreciated. Glavaticevo was in many ways a 

 far superior camp to Jezero, or any of our Dalma- 

 tian camps. We never had the slightest difficulty 

 in getting stores ; indeed, it was quite wonderful 

 what the village shop could produce. Besides 

 the necessaries of life, it was really stocked with 

 luxuries; for instance, we replaced broken tumblers, 

 decanters, and even lamp-glasses there. They 

 even had paper, not certainly of the finest quality ; 

 and I dare say some of the editors who are good 

 enough to print me wondered what I was using for 

 manuscript. 



I think, though, that what conduced most to 

 our comfort was the excellent camp-servant that 

 we got here. He was a Turk, by name Duran.
