it as a relish with bread or biscuit. [FN#14] “Pharaoh’s hot baths,” which in our maps are called “Hummum Bluffs.”  They are truly “enchanted land” in Moslem fable:  a volume would scarcely contain the legends that have been told and written about them. (See Note 1, p. 10, ante.) [FN#15] One of the numerous species of what the Italians generally call “Pasta.”  The material is wheaten or barley flour rolled into small round grains.  In Barbary it is cooked by steaming, and served up with hard boiled eggs and mutton, sprinkled with red pepper.  These Badawi Maghrabis merely boiled it. [FN#16] The Azan is differently pronounced, though similarly worded by every orthodox nation in Al-Islam. [FN#17] The usual way of kissing the knee is to place the finger tips upon it, and then to raise them to the mouth.  It is an action denoting great humility, and the condescending superior who is not an immediate master returns the compliment in the same way. [FN#18] The Maghrabi dialect is known to be the harshest and most guttural form of Arabic.  It owes this unenviable superiority to its frequency of “Sukun,” or the quiescence of one or more consonants;-"K’lab,” for instance, for “Kilab,” and “’Msik” for “Amsik.”  Thus it is that vowels, the soft and liquid part of language, disappear, leaving in their place a barbarous sounding mass of consonants. [FN#19] Burckhardt mentions the Arab legend that the spirits of the drowned Egyptians may be seen moving at the bottom of the sea, and Finati adds that they are ever busy recruiting their numbers with shipwrecked mariners. [FN#20] I thus called upon a celebrated Sufi or mystic, whom many East-Indian Moslems reverence as the Arabs do their Prophet.  In Appendix I the curious reader will find Abd al-Kadir again mentioned. [FN#21] Those people are descendants of Syrians and Greeks that fled from Candia, Scios, the Ionian Islands, and Palestine to escape the persecutions of the Turks.  They now wear the Arab dress, and speak the language of the country, but they are easily to be distinguished from the Moslems by the expression of their countenances and sometimes by their blue eyes and light hair.  There are also a few families calling themselves Jabaliyah, or mountaineers.  Originally they were 100 households, sent by Justinian to serve the convent of St. Catherine, and to defend it against the Berbers.  Sultan Kansuh al-Ghori, called by European writers Campson Gaury, the Mamluk King of Egypt, in A.D. 1501, admitted these people into the Moslem community on condition of their continuing the menial service they had afforded to the monks. [FN#22] Adam’s forehead (says the Tarikh Tabari) brushed the skies, but this height being inconvenient, the Lord abridged it to 100 cubits.  The Moslems firmly believe in Anakim.  Josephus informs us that Moses was of “divine form and great tallness”; the Arabs specify his stature,-300 cubits.  They have, moreover, found his grave in some parts of the country S.E, of the Dead Sea, and make cups of a kind of bitumen called “Moses’
