Yeni Shahr is perched on the height a mile to the South of him, but it has been reinforced from the Besika Bay direction and to take it would be a major operation needing a disembarkation of at least the whole of his Division. He is keen to clear out: I agreed, and at 12.5 he went to make his preparations.
I too know the story of the Bara Jannati Shahr but I have always thought it fable. Now, now ." "Faith!" interrupted the major, with sudden excitement. He smote the rail a blow with an agitated fist. "If that doesn't look like gold, I'm a ." "Gold?" burst out the Master, unable longer to control himself. "Of course it's gold!
He caught swift vision of a wide mirbad, or open court for drying dates; and then, through a low, golden arch, a camel-yard with a vast number of kneeling, white dromedaries. And everywhere he saw innumerable hosts of the people of Jannati Shahr.
"Some twenty thousand of the most precious parchments were privately carried by our Sufis to Medina, and thence, after many years, to Jannati Shahr. Here they still lie, in perfect form, clearly to be read. This is a treasure that would set the world of the Feringi ablaze and make thee as a god among thy people.

He now returned to his cabin, locked himself in and pondering over a few khat leaves passed the remainder of the afternoon sunk in deep abstraction.

He found a moment's pause to speak in a low tone to the "captain," unheard by any of the others. "Remember the mercy-bullet!" said he.
Undoubtedly hard as this was to understand, and much as it contradicted Rrisa's prediction the attitude of these Jannati Shahr folk was friendly. Unless, indeed, all this meant ambush. But to look into those grave, deep eyes, to see that furrowed countenance of noble, straight-forward uprightness, seemed to negative any such suspicion.
Nothing was left running but one engine, at half-speed, to furnish current for the apparatus the Master had decided to use in dealing with the Jannati Shahr folk in case of need some of this having been evolved on the run from Mecca.
