"Gob," is synonymous with the Arabic Kabail, "men of family," opposed to "Gum," the caste-less. In the following pages I shall speak of the Somali nation, the Eesa tribe, the Rer Musa clan, and the Rer Galan sept, though by no means sure that such verbal gradation is generally recognised. The Eesa, for instance, are divided into Rer Hurroni. 2. Rer Abdullah. 7. Rer Urwena. 3. Rer Musa. 8.
The Hajj, after speaking big, had the weakness to let the murderer depart alive: this measure, like peace-policy in general, is the best and surest way to encourage bloodshed and mutilation. But a few months before, an Eesa Bedouin enticed out of the gates a boy about fifteen, and slaughtered him for the sake of wearing the feather.
"old experience doth attain To something like prophetic strain;" and they can either do great good or cause much petty annoyance. In the evening I took my gun, and, accompanied by the End of Time, went out to search for venison: the plain, however, was full of men and cattle, and its hidden denizens had migrated. During our walk we visited the tomb of an Eesa brave.
Yunis and Ahmed were brothers, children of Nuh, the ninth in descent from Ishak el Hazrami. The former had four sons, Hosh Yunis, Gedid Yunis, Mahmud Yunis, and Shirdon Yunis; their descendants are all known as the Ayyal or progeny of Yunis. The Ayyal Ahmed Nuh hold the land immediately behind the town, and towards the Ghauts, blend with the Eesa Musa.
"Republican win!" laughed Toby. "Meelyun man eena parade!" Mr. Pixley's small eyes lowered furtively. He glanced once toward the door, stroked his stubby chin, and answered softly: "Don't you be too sure of that, young feller. Them banks is fightin' each other ag'in!" "Bank? Fight? W'at eesa that?" inquired the merchant, with an entirely blank mind.
Hassan Turki had one of those fine old Shishkhanah rifles formerly made at Damascus and Senaa: it carried a two-ounce ball with perfect correctness, but was so badly mounted in its block-butt, shaped like a Dutch cheese, that it always required a rest. On our return home we met a party of Eesa girls, who derided my colour and doubted the fact of my being a Moslem.
On the summit I was shown an object that makes travellers shudder, a thorn- tree, under which the Habr Gerhajis and their friends of the Eesa Musa sit, vulture-like, on the look-out for plunder and murder. Advancing another mile, we came to some wells, where we were obliged to rest our animals.
After the monsoon this plain is covered with rich grass. At other seasons it affords but a scanty supply of an "aqueous matter" resembling bilgewater. The land belongs to the Mummasan clan of the Eesa: how these "Kurrah-jog" or "sun-dwellers," as the Bedouins are called by the burgher Somal, can exist here in summer, is a mystery.
Dam-a Democrat!" "That's it," replied the committee-man somewhat languidly. "You see, this is a Republican precinct, and it turns the ward " "Allaways a Republican!" vociferated Pietro. "That eesa right?" "Well," said the other, "of course, whichever way you go, you want to follow your precinct committee-man that's me." "Yess! Vote a Republican."
The Bedouins, with ears applied to the earth, listened for a village, but heard none. Suddenly we saw two strangers, and presently we came upon an Eesa kraal.
