Provisions are also exported from Soudan and Aheer to this mart, consisting of semen or liquid butter; ghusub or drâ; ghafouly , sometimes called Guinea corn; hard cheese from Aheer, which is pounded before eaten; beef, cut into shreds, and without salt, dried in the sun and wind; peppers of the most pungent character, an extremely small quantity sufficing to season a large dish; a species of shell fruit, called by the Moors Soudan almonds ; bakhour, or frankincense; and ghour nuts and koudah, which are masticated as tobacco.
He screamed. The baskets sat down plump. "Come away wid ye! I've cotched yer! I'll tache ye to escape from lawful custody!" "No savee! No savee!" screamed Hu Dra.

Ye may be charged also with resisting the pollis in the execution of dooty. It's a sarious charge. If ye come quiet I'll maake it aisy fer ye.

Drought-stricken, broad, blue-leaved, scented ironbarks stood in envious array on the steep sides of the ridges, and grass-trees, blackened at the butts, struggled with loose boulders for foothold. The muddy water which the forethought of Hu Dra had conserved created the green patch which insulted the aridity of the ridge.
And he caught violently hold of Mary's gown to drag her back, before she had accomplished the liberation of the rusty bolts. "Now go in, sir, and sit down," said Mary. "Go in, sir, will you; I tell you it's yer own daughter, and no ruffian whatever. Dra the owld man, but he'll have every rag off the back of me! Don't I tell you, it's Miss Feemy.
