"You know what I said?" The man nodded his head. "Well, I am now going to take out your gag. If you make more than one cry, or utter more than one word, your own knife will finish you." He held the knife before the man's eyes. Then with the knife in one hand, Adrian pulled the wad of grass from between the prisoner's teeth.
On the 16th November he, in beggar's clothes, sought an interview with a Bimbashi of the Egyptian Army, at Port Sudan.

'I wad like to see him. 'Wha will I say wants him? 'Say the laddie he saw at Bodyfauld.
