ABSTRACT
Muhammad bin Hashil was not a well-read luan and he was somewhat of a free thinker in his religion, but he knew a lot about the Wahadimu and had great influence with them. Most Wlusual in an Arab, sport was the ruling passion of his life and he was keen on big-ganIe shooting and fishing. He had a motor-boat and we often went trailing off the south of the island. On one of our best days we caught seven twenty-to thirtypound fish in less than an hour, though occasionally fifty-pounders also came our way.
