The Somal call the owl "Shimbir libah" the lion bird. The plume was dark, chequered with white, but the bird was so wild that no specimen could be procured. The Arabs apply this term to tea. The Dayyib of the Somal, and the Sinaubar of the Arabs; its line of growth is hereabouts an altitude of 5000 feet.
My companions would not fire, thinking it was a man: at last a rifle-ball, pinging through the air the moon was too young for correct shooting put to flight a huge lion. The terror excited by this sort of an adventure was comical to look upon: the valiant Beuh, who, according to himself, had made his preuves in a score of foughten fields, threw his arms in the air, wildly shouting Libah!
Libah!! the lion! the lion!! and nothing else was talked of that evening. The ghostly western hills seemed to recede as we advanced over the endless rolling plain. Presently the ground became broken and stony, the mules stumbled in deep holes, and the camels could scarcely crawl along.
