At last Khy-Khevan, the Chief of Ithera, who had brought Forder to the Jowf, said that he must go back, and Forder, who had now learned what he wished about the Jowf, and had put the books of the Gospel into the hands of the men, decided to return to his wife and boys in Jerusalem to prepare to bring them over to live with him in that land of the Arabs.
The next day Forder found that later in the week the old Chief himself was going to the Jowf. Walking up to him Forder held out the money saying, "If you will let me go to the Jowf with you, find me camel, water and food, I will give you these four pieces." "Give them to me now," said Khy-Khevan, "and we will start after to-morrow."
"Let us cut his throat while he is asleep," said one man. "No," said the Chief. "I will not have the blood of a Christian on my house and town." "Let us poison his supper," said another. But the Chief would not agree. "Drive him out into the desert to die of hunger and thirst," suggested a third. "No," said the Chief, whose name was Khy-Khevan, "we will leave him till the morning."
So he said farewell to the Chief Johar, and rode away on a camel with Khy-Khevan. Many things he suffered from fever and hunger, from heat and thirst, and vermin. But at last he reached Jerusalem once more; and his little four-year-old boy clapped hands with joy as he saw his father come back after those long months of peril and hardship.
