Their greatest hardship is the want of the pure element: the Hissi or well, is about four miles distant from the town, and all the pits within the walls supply brackish or bitter water, fit only for external use. This is probably the reason why vegetables are unknown, and why a horse, a mule, or even a dog, is not to be found in the place.
And if you venture to object to these Median laws, as I am now doing, you elicit a chorus of disapproval, and acquire some evil name. About 11 A.M., when the fresh water arrives from the Hissi or wells, the Hajj sends us dinner, mutton stews, of exceeding greasiness, boiled rice, maize cakes, sometimes fish, and generally curds or milk.
He travelled to Harar about A.D. 1430 , converted many to El Islam, and left there an honored memory. His name is immortalised in El Yemen by the introduction of El Kat. Tired of the town, I persuaded the Hajj to send me with an escort to the Hissi or well.
