We shall make a feint of a sally to-morrow morning at the hour prearranged by Mustafa Khan with the tribesmen outside. But it is the sabat and its occupants that will be blown into the sky, and not my good stout walls' this last with the old familiar smile, stern but pleasant to look upon. "'And the girl who sang? I ventured, falteringly. "'She is safe in the protection of my home.
But the heat did not trouble Sabat, the wild son of the Arabian desert, who was talking as he always did in a roaring voice that was louder than most men's shouting. He was telling the story of Abdallah's brave death as a Christian martyr.
Let him strike the first blow, and he will find every one prepared to join him." I shook my head. "I am your friend, it is true," I responded, "but I am still more the friend of Sabat Jung, and I must know the grounds on which he is to proceed. What force have you ready to bring to his assistance?" "Do you mean what is the number of my division?" "I mean the number on whom you can rely."
But the struggle dragged on and on; there seemed to be no hope of triumph. At last Sabat decided to go back to Penang. One day he left the Prince and started off, but soldiers of the rebel-chief Syfoolalim captured him. Great was the joy of the rebels their powerful enemy was in their hands!
Sabat and Abdallah were already up and out, and that day they said the Mohammedan prayer before the Kaaba itself with other pilgrims who had come from many lands from Egypt and Abyssinia, from Constantinople and Damascus, Baghdad and Bokhara, from the defiles of the Khyber Pass, from the streets of Delhi and the harbour of Zanzibar. We do not know what Abdallah looked like.
The Nabob stared, not understanding to whom I referred; but an older man, with a proud, discontented, and yet apprehensive air, who also stood on the daïs, and was, I found out, Meer Jaffier, Surajah Dowlah's uncle, and commander of his armies, this man, I say, spoke in explanation "The youth means that he came on the ship with Sabat Jung."
He wanted one thing above everything else in the world: that was to give them all the chance of doing what Sabat and Abdallah had done the chance of reading in their own languages the one book in the world that could tell them that God was a Father the book of letters and of biographies that we call the New Testament.

He felt himself lifted and then hurled out into the air, and down down with a crash into the waters of the sea, which closed over him for ever. Henry Martyn In the story of Sabat that was told in the previous chapter you will remember that, for a part of the time that he lived in India, he worked with an Englishman named Henry Martyn.
At last, too weak to walk, she was wheeled through the forests and along the valleys by some of her "twins" now grown to strong children, and died there the conquering Queen of Calabar, who ruled in the hearts of even the fiercest cannibals through the power of the Faith, by which out of weakness she was made strong.

Martyn's house at Cawnpore was at the end of an avenue of palms and aloes: there were two bungalows connected by a long passage, in one of which he himself lived, the other was given up to Sabat and his wife.
