The numerous coffee-huts are spacious sheds, supported by poles, with the coffee- waiter's hearth placed in one corner. They are infested by great numbers of rats, bolder than any I ever saw. We left Hadda about five o'clock in the evening. The road continuing over the plain, the soil is sandy, in some parts mixed with clay, and might, I think, be easily cultivated by digging wells.
Then I seen this pretty silk sack and I wanted it terrible. "I says to myself as how I was goin' to keep it. It wasn't my fault if you throwed it into the rubbish can by mistake. My husband he said I hadda right to it, 'cause findin' was keepin'. So I kep' it, but it made me feel bad. I was brung up honest and I knowed it was the same as stealin'. "But I wanted it terrible, jus' the same.
This rock continues along the road, with few variations, as far as the vicinity of Djebel Nour, to the eastward of Mekka, where granite begins. I learned at Mekka, that, south of Hadda, some hours distant, a mountain yields fine marble, which served for the pavement of the great mosque.
Complimentary copies were sent to the "Sipah Salar" and other Afghan notabilities, and the fame of the Hadda Mullah was known throughout the land. Besides increasing his influence, his literary success stimulated his efforts. While the Mad Fakir was rousing Swat and Buner, this powerful priest incited the Mohmands.
"He'sa engag-ed to marry de pretty Maria Cenini, de prettiest girl in our village, back in It' excepta my wife. Beppo, he senda on de money, so she can coma dis country and marry him.

It was decided that General Elles should be reinforced by the 3rd Brigade of the Malakand Field Force, and should clear the Bedmanai Pass and complete the discomfiture of the Hadda Mullah. Sir Bindon Blood with the cavalry would join Jeffreys' force in the Mamund Valley, and deal with the situation there.
It is at Hadda that the inhabitants of Djidda, when making a pilgrimage to Mekka, put on the ihram, or pilgrim's cloak. By the Muselman law, every one is obliged to assume it, whatever may be his rank, who enters the sacred territory of Mekka, whether on pilgrimage or for other purposes; and he is enjoined not to lay it aside till after he has visited the temple.
Such nocturnal marches are most unfavourable to the researches of a traveller, who thus crosses the country at a time when no objects can be observed; We alighted at Hadda, under the shed of a spacious coffee-hut, where I found a motley crew of Turks and Arabs, in their way to or from Mekka, each extended upon his small carpet.
He gets 'em off fast and chucks them out the bus window. He's blistered some but not serious, and he clams up but good when the ambulance doc puts salve on him. He won't say a word about what happened or how. They hadda call a ambulance because he couldn't go huntin' a doc with no pants on." "But he's not burned badly?" asked Brink. "No. Blisters, yes.

It was of the utmost importance to hold Nawagai, which separated the country of the Hadda Mullah and the Mamunds.

It was therefore decided to wait, until they were joined by General Ellis' force.
