Description

Gertrude Bell's muleteers crossing Euphrates with horses, "The ferry boat was so small that the horses could not get into it....the muleteers took off most of their clothes and rode the horses over. The water came up over the backs of the horses. I crossed in the ferry boat like a lady"
