He gave his guides but one order: "Take me to the house the Gabours call the Glory of God." "Sancta Sophia, my Lord?" "Sancta Sophia and bid the runners run." His Sheik-ul-Islam was pleased. "Hear!" he said to the dervishes with him. "The Lord Mahommed will make mosques of the houses of Christ before sitting down in one of the palaces. His first honors are to God and the Prophet."
And, seeing him at gaze, the fakir recovered confidence and jeered new ribaldry, until some one suddenly shot out from behind Cunningham, and before he had recovered from his surprise he saw the fakir sprawling on his back, howling for mercy, while Mahommed Gunga beat the blood out of him with a whalebone riding-whip.
He was Colonel of the Corps of which I was Adjutant, in fact the Gungapur Volunteer Rifles.... By Jove! That explains a lot. John Robin Ross-Ellison!" I was too incredulous to be astounded. It could not be. "Han Sahib, bé shak! Jan Rah-bin-Ras el-Isan Ilderim Dost Mahommed Mir Hafiz Ullah Khan was his name.
The barber stared, drew back, salaamed, bowed his head, and put a hand upon his turban as a slave to his master. "Show me the way, Mahommed," said Dicky, and stepped out. Two hours later Dicky, with pale face, and fingers clutching his heavy riding-whip fiercely, came quickly towards the bridge where he must cross to go to the mudirieh.

It appeared that Mahommed Her had ordered his party of 110 armed men, in addition to 300 natives, to make a razzia upon a certain village among the mountains for slaves and cattle. They had succeeded in burning a village, and in capturing a great number of slaves.
This was a planned affair to "spoil the Egyptians:" a combination had been entered into some months before by the Madi and Shooa tribes, to receive payment and to abscond, but to leave the Turks helpless to remove their stock of ivory. The people of Mahommed Wat-el-Mek were in a similar dilemma; not a tusk could be delivered at Gondokoro. This was not my affair.

"I know thee proceed." "Behold, she whom God has smitten, man smote first. I am her foster-brother from the same breast we drew the food of life.
