In the evening we walked westward to the hills that bound the slope; and came upon a rock-cut road leading to an atalier, where "Maru" has been spalled from the stone in situ. The filons and filets cut the granite in all directions; and the fiery action of frequent trap-dykes had torn the ground-rock to tatters. The western side of El-Kutayyifah also showed modern ruins.
He came to the first gate, and as he did the plover that was on the third pinnacle above rose up and flew round the Castle with sharp cries. He raised a fragment of the ground-rock and flung it against the gate. He burst it open. He dashed in then and through the first courtyard of the Castle. As he went towards the second gate it was flung open, and the five spear-men ran upon him.
A hard fissile slate of purple colour is based upon the ground-rock of grey granite; there is also a modern clay-slate, which lies unconformably to the older, and through it the great veins of gneiss and quartz seem to pass.
