Further south the Tihamah Mountains begin with the peaky Jebel el-Kurr, another remarkable block which has long been in sight. Its neighbour is the bluff-headed Jebel el-Wasil of Marwat; whilst the trap-blocks, already mentioned as the Jibal el-'Akabil, finish the circle.
We followed the long slope trending to the Wady el-Kurr, which drains the notable block of that name. Seeing the Wakil, and the others in front, cutting over the root to prevent rounding a prodigiously long tongue-tip, I was on the qui vive for the normal dodge; and presently the mulatto Abdullah screamed out that the Nakb must be avoided, as it was all rock.
However, the effect was excellent: never had there been so little straggling; never had the halting-places been reached in such good time and good order. A pleasant surprise awaited us in the grandest display of quartz that we had yet seen. The descent of the Wady el-Kurr seemed to be as flat, stale, and profitless as possible, when "Mara" appeared on the left side in mounds, veins, and strews.
