His head snapped up, his eyes glittered like a caged eagle's, the fine, high nostrils dilated; and there he stood, captive but unbeaten, proud even in this hour of death. Bara Miyan made no great speaking. All he asked was: "Art thou, indeed, that Shaytan called Abd el Rahman, the Reviler?" The desert Sheik nodded with arrogant admission. Bara Miyan turned and clapped his hands.
It shows that you English are worthy to be the rulers of this land ." The Afghans were accustomed to see the conquered crushed and scorned by the conqueror.

Theodore, after the departure of Abdul Rahman Bey, wrote to the Egyptian Government, denying any knowledge of the plunder, and accusing the envoy of serious crimes.

And beavers never worked as these men worked in spite of the fierce smitings of the tropic sun. Even the wounded men helped, holding or passing tools. The Master labored with the rest, grimy, sweating, hard-jawed; and "Captain Alden" did her bit without a moment's slackening. Save for Abd el Rahman, now securely locked without any means of self-destruction in a stateroom, no man idled.
