If he was not a person of consequence, he looked it. I was wondering whether he was a cadi or a pasha, and what he was doing with- out attendants, when he quitted the English- man and went to the water-tank, where the loungers respectfully made room for him. He then performed an act which suggested unut- terable things touching that water-tank. In- stead of helping himself brutally, as the others had done, he gracefully covered his mouth with one of the ends of his scarf, and drank through that.... I had been drinking this water unfil- tered, making an aquarium of myself. A few minutes later I was surprised to see the man approaching the rear deck, where I occupied a camp-stool, captured and retained after unheard-of struggles. It was plainly his intention to address me. I rose from my seat to receive the card which he held out politely. I here print it in full, for the benefit of future explorers, to whom I heartily commend the Hadji Caddor Sahta, 1 dragoman, king's courier, and gentleman at large — 1 The title of Hadji indicates that the bearer has made the pilgrimage to Mecca.
