Quoth the Khalif, 'I will write thee a letter to carry to the Sultan Mohammed ben Suleiman ez Zeini, which when he reads, he will do thee no hurt. 'Who ever heard of a fisherman writing to kings? said Noureddin. 'Such a thing can never be. 'True, replied the Khalif; 'but I will tell thee the reason.

Before Mohammed cut the raw hide strip which secured the forked pole, he made Suleiman swear by the prophet not to escape, but that he would deliver himself up to Major Abdullah at Fatiko. The party, now reduced to twenty-five men, immediately started.
