His little protege, Khamis,, son of a dead friend, asked to be allowed to be his gun-bearer;. Mohammed bin Abdulluh, Ibrahim bin Rashid, and Sayf, the son of Ali, young Arabs of good families, who were proud to live with the noble Khamis, also offered to go with him.
A murmur of approbation followed the speech of Khamis bin Abdullah, the majority of those present being young men eager to punish the audacious Mirambo.
Deacon Jeremiah visited Bootan in the spring, at the invitation of some of the leading Nestorians in that region.1 Yonan and Khamis, native helpers, made a preaching tour through a part of Koordistan.2 Deacons Syad and Mosheil encountered many hardships and dangers in a visit to Bootan.3 In July, Messrs.
Nargis, the wife of Khamis, who had spent the winter laboring alone in the vicinity of Amadia, on the Turkish side of the mountains, was now with him, going back to Gawar.
We arrived early the following morning at Mfuto, the rendezvous of the Arab army. A halt was ordered the next day, in order to make ourselves strong by eating the beeves, which we freely slaughtered. The personnel of our army was as follows: Sheikh Sayd bin Salim . . . . . . 25 half caste " Khamis bin Abdullah . . . . 250 slaves " Thani bin Abdullah . . . . 80 "
Towards evening we walked back to our own finely situated tembe in Kwihara, well satisfied with what we had seen at Tabora. My men drove a couple of oxen, and carried three sacks of native rice a most superior kind the day's presents of hospitality from Khamis bin Abdullah.
My first view was of Thani bin Abdullah being dragged away, who, when he caught sight of me, shouted out "Bana quick Mirambo is coming." He was then turning to run, and putting on his jacket, with his eyes almost starting out of their sockets with terror. Khamis bin Abdullah was also about departing, he being the last Arab to leave.
In the evening, even more fixed attention was given to another service in the open air, at the village of Boobawa, for the pious Mar Ogen was then living there, and the bright light of his piety had not shone in vain. On Thursday, the day after their return to Memikan, Mr. Coan, Priest Dunkha, Khamis, and Deacon John left for Central Koordistan, and Deacon Isaac went to Kochannes.
