2. NAZARETH TOWARDS ACRE.
Oct. 1849.
Passing Sefoorieh, (the Sepphoris so often mentioned in Josephus) with a distant view of Carmel on the left, like a huge rampart of dark blue, we came to the ruined Khan with a fountain called the ’Ain el Bedaweeyeh, then through delightful wooded glades, on issuing from which we saw Shefa ’Amer, a handsome-looking place, with which I made better acquaintance in after years.
On the plain of Acre I picked up a cannon ball, probably a twelve pounder.
(This journey was repeated in March 1852, and in March 1859.)
