"But, as a matter of fact these East Indians are often carriers of bubonic plague, you know, and it's very contagious. Of course neither Shere Ali nor Singa Phut may have had the germs about them, but I am a bit squeamish when it comes to contagious diseases of that nature, and I wouldn't like to scratch myself on that watch."
Asarhadon was afraid of such things; so he secured himself against enchantment by prayers to all the gods which adorned his inn. Then he hurried to the city, where he notified the elder of the Phoenician society and the elder of the guild of thieves of what had happened. Then, returning home, he summoned the decurion of police, and informed him that Phut might be a dangerous person.
"For the love of Mike look at this!" he suddenly exclaimed. "There's a needle in this dope stick!" "And, if you value your life don't touch it!" cried the colonel. "That's what I was looking for! Don't so much as scratch yourself the hundredth part of an inch or Well, you saw Singa Phut," he ended grimly. "Poisoned needle, Colonel?" asked Dr.
In place of stone buildings there were broad gardens, and in the middle of them splendid villas. The negro stopped before one of the gates and quenched his torch. "Here is the 'Green Star," said he, and, making a low bow to Phut, he turned homeward. The man of Harran knocked at the gate. After a while the gatekeeper appeared. He looked attentively at the stranger, and muttered, "Anael, Sachiel."
Peter was trying to repress his emotion, but it would jerk out questions. "Yes, I know. I've said that to myself over and over again. Why, look here." Watts pulled a small revolver from his hip pocket. "This will show you how close to the desperation point I have come. I've carried that for two days, so that if worse comes to worse well. Phut! Voila tout."
"Do you happen to know what became of that watch the one in her hand? It belonged to an East Indian, you said." "Yes, to Singa Phut. I was to make one little adjustment in it for him, and he was to come in early to get it. It wasn't much. The hair spring, I think, had become caught up and it ran very fast. I planned to do it the night before, but the light was too poor.
"I'm afraid we've got no tools here, but there is a smithy about a mile farther on and the chap there has a motor bike, so I expect he could lend you a hand." "Thank you very much," replied the stranger, looking relieved. "I'll shove her along there and leave her. I am much afraid she's gone altogether phut for the time being, and will have to be trundled back to town by rail.
"We want to see that Dago, you know Singa Phut," said Donovan, as he nodded to the deputy warden who answered their ring at the steel side door. "Humph! Little too late," was the answer. "Too late! What d'you mean? He's gone?" "That's it." "On bail? No, it couldn't be with a murder charge!" expostulated Donovan. "He can't be out! You're kiddin'!" "He's croaked!" answered the deputy warden.
"Amabiel, Abalidot," answered Phut. "Be greeted," said the gatekeeper; and he opened quickly to the visitor. When he had passed some tens of steps between trees, Phut found himself in the antechamber of the villa, where the priestess whom he knew greeted him. Farther in stood some man with black beard and hair; so much like the man of Harran was he, that Phut could not hide his astonishment.
Canaan occupied Palestine, and the country called by his name: Mizraim, Egypt: but Phut passed deep into Africa, and, I believe, most of the nations in that part of the world are descended from him; at least more than from any other person." Antiq. L. 1. c. 7. Paschale, p. 29. "The sons of Phut settled in Mauritania, where was a country called Phutia, and a river of the like denomination.
