Friend Sidi Jalef Waled Sakertaf how unmusical the name sounds! will get little money from us, and must content himself with our baggage, if he will play the robber. For the cousin of a Sultan, fie! August 1. We left Ajunjer early, and made five hours only, because to-morrow there is no herbage until late in the evening.
We had halted the previous evening because we were within an hour of the well of Tajetterat, which had become famous in our caravan as the place where we were to be attacked and despoiled by the freebooter Sidi Jafel Waled Sakertaf. This morning we pursued our way, cautiously sending scouts before.
Now comes something to awaken us out of this dream of comfort. A courier has arrived from Ghât, bringing the news that one Sidi Jafel Waled Sakertaf, the great man of the oasis of Janet on which we have been speculating so pastorally is preparing to come out and intercept our passage to Soudan, near the well of Tajetterat.

Sidi Jafel Waled Sakertaf whose voluminous name we found it quite easy to learn under these circumstances is cousin of the Sultan Shafou, and a very old man; but we cannot hope that in these frugal regions the gout will interfere in our favour, and put a stop to this unprovoked foray. The weather has been cool to-day.
