Transcript PHOENICIA AND LEBANON. 33 the pashaliks of Tripoli and Sidon (see pages 9 and 45) in ancient times. A Syrian khan stands near it, offering kindly shelter to man and beast. We gallop over the sandy beach to the Nahr Beirut, entranced by the landscape. The promontory of Beirut, crowned with its cream-coloured sandstone houses, palaces, churches, and mosques, its colleges and schools rising from the water's edge to the riclge of the cape, the pine-crowned ridges of Lower Lebanon to the east, form a picture only equalled by the Bay of Naples (see page 28). St. ' George, or Mar Girgius, as he is called by Oriental Christians, is the favourite saint in the Syrian CLIFFS AND SCULPTURED TABLETS. On the rocky promontory which projects far into the sea, south of the Nahr el Kelb (the Dog River), rising to the height of about one hundred feet.
