"Cuppiena?" suggested Brinnaria. "Not she," said Flexinna; "she has some k-k-kind of skin rash and has lost almost all her hair." "Sabbia," Brinnaria proposed.

He who would explore Asir should take a Khedivial mail steamer from Suez to Jeddah, and there show his credentials and explain his purpose to his consul and the local authorities. The Idrisi has an agent there, and it should not be difficult to pick up an Asiri dhow returning down the coast to Gîzân, which is the port for Sabbia.
