Landing at El-Wijh, I at once consulted our intelligent friend, the Wakil Mohammed Shahadah. He had sent for a camel-load of the stuff, which, he declared, would not burn, although it had burned his money. The mountain is tall and black, apparently consisting of the "coal."
The camels varied from fifty-eight to sixty-four, when specimens were forwarded to the harbour-town. The expenditure amounted toL92 13s., including pay and "bakhshish" to the Baliyy Shaykhs, but not including our friends the Sayyid, Furayj, and the Wakil Mohammed Shahadah.
At that hour the camp was a melancholy sight: the Europeans surly because they had discussed a bottle of cognac when they should have slept; the good Sayyid without his coffee, and perhaps without his prayers; Wakil Mohammed sorrowfully attempting to gnaw tooth-breaking biscuit; and the Bedawin working and walking like somnambules.
