Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) HALT OF A CARAVAN AT PESHAWUR. Peshawur, commanding as it does the southern entrance to the Cabul Pass, is a very important caravan station. It lies igo miles from Cabul, and through it passes the large volume of trade between India, on the south, and Cabul, Bokhara, and Central Asia, on the north. At present the railway extends no further than Peshawur, and from that point the transport is effected by mules or by the camels which form such a picturesque group in our illustration. Ina short time, no doubt, the railroad will make its way through the gorges of the Khyber, as it has already done further to the west between Sukkur and Chaman. But it will be many a year before the immense passes which lead into Thibet and Central Asia are traversed by any means of conveyance more effective than the slow-moving caravan of beasts of burden.
