We joined the camels on the way, and after two hours of stones ascended the very steep Akaba Beva. The view from the hills above about 2,500 feet is splendid, all the Yafei mountains and the Goddam range ending at Haide Naab, and giving place to the higher mountains of Rekab and Ghiuda.
Haide!" he called to the eight men, and they picked up the case of cartridges, and resumed the march just ahead of us. Fred lit his pipe contentedly, as he always is contented when he can make satisfactory arrangements to sacrifice himself unselfishly and pretend to himself he is a cynic.
Haide, Zeitoonli! To Zeitoon! Chabuk!" Oh, bard of Avon, thou whose measured muse Most sweetly sings Elizabethan views To shame ungentle smiths of journalese With thy sublimest verse, what words are these That shine amid the lines like jewels set But ere thine hour no bard had chosen yet?
