ABSTRACT
It was not until seven that we were up next morning, washing and dressing on the roof watched by a group of women standing on a near-by roof who did not move even when I levelled my field-glasses at them, so I gave it up and carried on with my washing and tooth brushing. We had sent the night before to a merchant at Henin said to have a car. In the early morning came the answer to the letter. There was a car at Henin which the owner, Sheikh Muhammad Sa'id Mart'a was willing to put at our disposal but his driver had gone to Mukalla. However, he suggested if any of our party could drive we' might take it. So we then decided that a stnall party should make for Henin and the rest go on to Hauta, to be picked up later by car ifpossible.
