These Bedawin make gunpowder for themselves; they find saltpetre in every cavern, and they buy from Egypt the sulphur which is found in their own hills. After a few minutes we left the Harr, which drains the tallest of the inland hillock-ranges, and the red block "Hamra el-Maysarah;" and we struck south-east into the Wady Sanawiyyah. It is a vulgar valley with a novelty, the Tamrat Faraj.
The walls of the valley-mouth are marked, somewhat like the Harr, with caverned and corniced cliffs of white, canary-yellow, and light-pink sandstone. They then left to the right the long point Ras el-Ma'llah, fronting Mardunah Island.
Like other Arabs, the Hutaym tribe is divided into a multitude of clans, septs, and families, each under its own Shaykh. All are Moslems, after the Desert pattern, a very rude and inchoate article. Wellsted knew them by their remarkably broad chins: the Bedawi recognize them by their look; by their peculiar accent, and by the use of certain peculiar words, as Harr! when donkey-driving.
Harr us, O Lord, and be debonair: for ours is a particular case. We are not like the men of St. Neot or the men of St. Udy, who are for ever importuning Thee upon the least occasion, praying at all hours and every day of the week. Thou knowest it is only with extreme cause that we bring ourselves to trouble Thee. Therefore regard our moderation in time past, and be instant to help us now. Amen.
