The Arab chieftain of the Foudthli, of whom flying parties still infest1 the deserts of Aden, is renowned2 for the possession of two thumbs upon the dexter hand—a proud distinction by which his ancestors have been recognised from time immemorial. She?kh Oomer Buttoo ibn Ali, akil of the Tukha?el, who occupy the country from the oasis4 of Yoor Era?n Mároo to Háo, a few miles eastward5 of the Háwash, glories in the loss of the sinister6 eye; and he is reputed to have forfeited7 it by an hereditary8 visitation, which through every generation has disfigured his ancestors in like manner—no single head of the illustrious line having been known to possess two eyes! This venerable Polyphemus visited the camp after dark, attended by his hopeful son and heir, who has already qualified9 for the succession; and after receiving each a piece of blue calico in the clandestine10 manner which these savages12 prefer to a more orthodox public presentation, they slunk away, well satisfied with their booty.
A group of slatternly females belonging to the Ittoo Galla had sauntered carelessly into camp with ox-hides for sale, and tobacco, the produce of their own high lulls13; and their abrupt14 departure as the evening shades drew on, had led to suspicions anent the object of their visit. At the going down of the sun therefore a caution was promulgated15 by the Ras, enjoining16 a vigilant17 look out for Galla and wild beasts; and his earnestness might almost have led to the anticipation18 of a rush of wild equestrians19 through the encampment, or a charge of hungry lions from the adjacent gloomy thicket20, before the termination of the first watch. But the cry of “wolf!” had been too often dinned21 into every ear; and although both elders and escort had sworn that this night at least should be one of wakefulness, no surprise was elicited22 by the disappearance23 of their bushy heads, one after the other, beneath the mats—an example which was speedily followed by all the Europeans off duty, as the rain began again to tumble in torrents24,
“Et veterem in limo ranae cecinere querelam.”
The fear of attracting the “Buddoo,” as the much-dreaded marauders of every class were generically26 designated, still invariably brought an order which there was no gainsaying27, to strike and pack the tent before sunset, however threatening the aspect of the weather. But the despotism of the Ras was light in comparison with the tyranny exercised by his unaccommodating train. At whatever hour of the night the arbitrary mandate28 to load might be promulgated, it was required that the bedding of the whole party should forthwith be delivered at the quarters of the arrogant30 driver to whom it pertained31, since he declined making his camel walk to the spot. Moreover the delay of a few minutes was sufficient to condemn32 it to be left on the ground, notwithstanding that preparations often occupied two hours, which might as well have been devoted33 to rest; and this wanton curtailment34 of sleep was doubly felt after the heavy nocturnal duty that devolved upon all.
The route on the 9th led across the flat of Halik-diggi Kabír, a continuation of the Moolu plain, extending from the Azbóti and Ittoo ranges to the mountains Aiúlloo and Abida. Twelve miles in breadth, it presents one monotonous35 alluvial36 level, treeless, but thickly covered with grass, interspersed37 with dwarf38 shrubs39, and enlivened by herds41 of the elegant mhorr, amongst which the secretary bird occasionally strutted42 in native dignity. Baézas and zebras, too, were descried43 on the hills which bound the flat; and a luckless leopard44 being detected in the act of stealing across the expanse, the savage11 group pursued like demons45 from every quarter, and having presently hooted46 and hunted the terrified animal into a bush, transfixed his carcass incontinently with thirty spears.
The whole landscape was alive during this animated47 scene, which scarcely occupied a minute; and in due process of time the panting warriors48 rejoined the caravan50, their necks, spears, and shields adorned51 with strips of the victim’s tail, whilst he who by dint52 of superior wind and fleetness had drawn53 the first blood, was by his comrades publicly invested with the spotted54 spoils that he had won. The appearance of the party on their return, accompanied by a stray horseman who had fortuitously joined in the chase, gave birth in the bosom55 of the Ras to an apprehension56 that the Ittoo Galla were descending57 upon the caravan. The ranks were accordingly closed, and the Europeans again took post on the flank to be assailed58, until a nearer approach revealed in the savage band the features of friends.
A descent of thirty feet over a narrow tongue of land, led into the valley of Halik-diggi Zúghir, styled by the Ada?el the Great Háwash—its breadth being about two and a half miles, and the bed a perfect level, covered with fine grass, on which grazed a troop of wild asses59. Bounded throughout the serpentine60 progress by parallel banks of corresponding height and appearance, the hollow would seem to extend from the mountains of the Ittoo Galla north to the Aiúlloo volcano. It wears the aspect of having been once the channel of a considerable stream—that of the Háwash perhaps, which river may not improbably have been diverted into its present course at the period when the extensive volcanic61 tract25 around Mount Abida was in a state of activity, and when subterranean62 influence must have caused extraordinary revolutions in the entire aspect of the country.
Here occurred the last specimen63 seen of the Kurbéta, the myrrh-bearing tree (Balsamodendron Myrrha), of which two varieties are found abundantly over all the barren hill-sides, from the Doomi valley to the borders of the Háwash. That producing the better description of the gum resin64, is a dwarf shrub40, with deeply serrated crisp leaves of a dull green; whereas the other, yielding a substance more like balm than myrrh, attains65 a height of ten feet, and has bright shining leaves. From any bruise66 or incision67 inflicted68, the “hofali” flows copiously69 in the form of a milky70 juice, possessing a perceptible acidity71, which either evaporates or becomes chemically changed when the gum forms. Left ungathered, it becomes hard with the loss of the volatile72 oil, and thus crumbles73 away; but if the wound be cleared frequently, a very large quantity may be collected during the seasons, which occur in January when the buds appear after the first rain, and again when the seeds are ripe, in March.
Three ounces of the finest myrrh and one of dross74, may thus be obtained during the year, and the secreting75 vessels76 lying immediately under the epidermis77, a very slight bend in a branch makes it flow freely. The wandering shepherds either tear off one of the lower limbs, or so bruise the stem with a heavy stone as to retard78 the growth of the tree; but every new sprout79 is spontaneously covered with gum, although in a somewhat more fluid state. Repeated injuries in the same spot lead to the formation of an ever-filling cavity, and
“The mirrhe sweete bleeding in the bitter wounde,”
is transferred by each passer-by to the hollow boss of his shield, to be exchanged for a handful of tobacco with the next slave-dealer met on the caravan road. But the Danákil are not altogether ignorant of the virtues80 of the drug, and invariably recommended it for those of the horses that were unable to proceed from heat and exhaustion81.
It has been seen that from Yoor Era?n Mároo, an accession to the escort was received in the person of the hopeful son of Datah Mohammad, co-chief of the Sidi Hábroo. This insatiable vagabond, a worthy82 scion83 of his stock, had received from the hand of Nature an aspect that could only have belonged to a finished cut-throat. Deeply scarred with the small-pox, his bloated half-shaven muzzle84 peered through a tangled85 web of grease-clotted hair, like a drowsy86 owl87 out of an ivy88 bush. He presented a truly striking picture of man in the natural state. Although never without a new quid in his mouth, and another half masticated89 behind either ear, he passed hours of each day in importuning90 for more “timboo” of which he was the most passionate91 admirer; and it was his undeviating rule never to pass a white face without repeating in an authoritative92 tone the trisyllable “Irreboot” in token of his determination to add still farther to his stock in hand of yam-needles, which already outnumbered the quills93 of the porcupine94.
Firmly persuaded that every mule95 with the party had been purchased for his especial riding, and equally convinced that his presence was indispensable to the general safety, he appropriated the very first that came within his reach, changing it as often as he thought proper, and never leaving it without a galled96 back. If not a professor of equitation, he was at all events devoted to the science, and it was with a fiendish scowl97 indeed that while crossing Halik-diggi Zughír he received an order to dismount from a steed which he had selected out of the drove for the purpose of riding down an oryx. “Tuwwaddee!” “attend,” he mumbled98 sulkily as he thrust away the animal with the butt3 of his spear,—“Tuwwaddee! I am a great man’s son, and have no intention of walking. If I am not to have a horse, you may even settle as best you can with my father’s Bedouins.”
Mules99, horses, and camels, in considerable numbers, were abandoned before the termination of this tedious and sultry march—fatigue, want of water, and lack of forage100, having reduced all to such positive skeletons that they walked with difficulty. Ascending101 three successive terraces, each of fifty feet elevation102, the road finally wound into the confined and waterless valley of Háo, famous for the number of parties that have at various times been surprised and cut up by the neighbouring Galla—
“For, with hot rapine fir’d, ensuiguin’d man
Is here become the lion of the plain,
And worse.”
Not a month had elapsed since three ill-starred individuals of a Tajúra caravan, impatient to satisfy burning thirst, hurrying in advance of the main body, were cut off by a band of Galla horsemen, who had lain concealed103 behind the rocks immediately above the present encamping ground, and who, after mutilating the bodies, bore off their barbarous trophies104 in triumph. The dale hard by had only two nights previously105 to the arrival of the present party, formed the scene of a skirmish between the Ittoo and the inhabitants of the plain, when the bodies of twenty of the former and nine of the latter were left to the vultures and hyaenas. Every hill and valley in this direction could, in fact, tell its individual tale of bloodshed and slaughter106. The wild barbarians107 keep a constant look out to pounce108 upon any wanderers weaker than themselves, and few are the natives to be seen who bear not on their persons some indelible mark of hand to hand combat.
Fatigued109 by the long march, the Danákil were all fast asleep within their temporary sheds, a few of the drivers excepted, who tended their browsing110 camels among the adjacent thorns. In an instant the whole valley rang with the cry to assemble at arms, and inconceivable was the confusion that ensued. Many of the escort, only half awake, in rushing forth29 overthrew111 portions of their dens112 upon others who were still inside. Warrior49 clashed against warrior, shield against shield. The rocky hill-side was presently a living mass of half-clad savages, panting up the steep acclivity, when a few Galla scouts113, whose sudden appearance on the plain had caused the alarm, were perceived mounting their steeds; and, understanding themselves to be the objects of these warlike preparations, they precipitately114 sped their way.
From the summit of the height was obtained an exhilarating prospect115 over the dark lone116 valley of the long-looked-for Háwash. The course of the shining river was marked by a dense117 belt of trees and verdure, which stretches towards the base of the great mountain range, whereof the cloud-capped cone118 that frowns over the capital of Shoa forms the most conspicuous119 feature. Although still far distant, the ultimate destination of the Embassy seemed almost to have been gained; and none had an idea of the length of time that must elapse ere his foot should press the soil of Ankóber. A day of intense heat was as usual followed by a heavy fall of rain, which, owing to the unaccommodating arrangement again peremptorily120 exacted, of striking the tent at sunset, thoroughly121 drenched122 the whole party; but before finally drawing the mat over his sleepy head, the Ras el Káfilah mounted a cone which stood in the centre of the compact circle, and proclaimed in a loud voice to all, a night of light sleep and watchfulness123.
