Bunder Deelum, in the Persian Gulf, 1857. The accompanying view of one of the numerous forts in the Persian Gulf has been sketched from the deck of the Hon. East India Company's steam-vessel Berenice by Assistant Surgeon L. S. Bruce, H.C.S. It affords a good specimen of the forts of the coast, as well as a view of the mountain scenery. Mr. Binning, in his "Journal of Two Years' Travel," just published, describes the coast of Persia as now presenting no view but sterile, barren, and desolate chains of rocks and hills; and the general aspect of the Gulf is dismal and forbidding. Moore's charming allusions to Osman's Sea, with its: "Banks of pearl and palmy isles", are, unfortunately, quite visionary, for uglier or more unpicturesque scenery our traveller never beheld'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
