September 22 Sunday – Sam and group left Janin at 2 AM and camped that night at Lubban. From Sam’s notebook:

“Camped at 7 PM at an Arab Village—Lubia (Libonia of the Bible). Tents behind. Slept on the ground in front of an Arab house. Lice, fleas, horses, jackasses, chickens, & worse than all, Arabs for company all night” [MTNJ 1: 431].

Sam’s “Holy Land Excursion. Letter from Mark Twain Number Eight” dated July “Lake of Como” ran in the Alta California [McKeithan 53-9].
