Gg announce my approach to Ras Alula, while I followed at a more sober pace with the rest of the caravan. Two hours and a half later we arrived at Asmara, and were at once conducted to the hut in which we had spent ten such very unpleasant days on our outward journey. I then lost no time in arraying myself in all the finery, lion's skin, and robes of honour, given to me by the King, and thus attired I solemnly rode up to the foot of the huge mud pyramid on which stands the hut of the great man.... My object in thus adorning myself was to show clearly, not only to the Ras himself but to all his people, that I had been received as a friend by the King, and had been treated with honour, and I fondly hoped that Ras Alula would not now dare to put any further impediments in my way. I found him sitting in judgment outside his hut, surrounded by a great crowd of people, while the plaintiff and defendant in the case which was at that moment being heard, were standing in an open space in front of the Ras, both much excited, and both talking at once at the top of their voices with much violent and threatening gesticulation.
