Introduction. PREMISESES of the ARABIC REBELLION
The Chapters with 1 on 7. Some англичане, whose leader was Kitchener, believed that rebellion arab against turk will allow to England, waged war with Germany, simultaneously smash her(its) союзницу Turciyu.
Imevshiesya information about nature, organizations authorities arabic племен, as well as about natural condition territory, which they inhabited, allowed to consider that upshot of such rebellion will be for them lucky, and have defined the strategy and tactician.
And they have done all necessities that such rebellion began, заручившись by formal notarizing about help on the part of british government. However, the uprising the sheriff of the Mecca turned out to be for majority by full surprise and has caught off guard untrained ally. It has generated the mixed feeling and has caused clear division on friends and enemy, whose mutual подозрительность and jealousy from the very beginning started to threaten the collapse to operations.
CHAPTER 1
Some are an exasperating faults of this narrative I can not consider nothing other, as natural effect unusual circumstance. We are a year of the vein what come, one on one with nacked пустыней, under deeply indifferent to human fate by firmament. Daytime us burned;burnt before bones blazing sun, competed with dry, overheated, penetrating ветром.
The Night we trembled from cool grow, sharply outliving its insignificance, ибо on thoughts about her could not not direct infinitely deep, nearly black dome sky with myriad twinkling, as if embraced each own silence, stars. We -- occupying самою itself, as if all forgetting completely army, without parade and drillings, sacrificial dedicated idea of the liberty, this second symbol of the faith of the person, всепоглощающей purposes, вобравшей in itself all our power.
The Liberties -- and hopes, in whose divine glow faded, disappeared former, seemed such high, but on deal generated one only честолюбием of the longing.
In the course of time insistent need to fight for this ideal changed in uncompromising obsession, возобладавшую on all our doubts -- like that, as rider-bedouin by bridle and spur tames the wild horse. And regardless of us themselves he became the faith. We were sold him in servitude, have constrained itself некоей by total chain, doomed on serving of his(its) sanctity all that was in us good and evil. The Spirit servitude terrible, he steals whole world beside person.
And we were returned not only by body, but also soul to relentless thirst of the victory. We of own accord recanted to morals, from personality, from responsiblity finally, having become like dry sheet, гонимым ветром.
The Undeterminable battle has blunted in us care about its and about someone else life. We indifferently tolerated the loop on its neck, but the price, fixed for our heads, eloquent spoke of expected us terrible torture if us shall grasp the enemies, but did not produce big impression on us. Each day carried away anyone, but remained above-ground understood that they not more, than thinking dolls in theatre Gentlemen God.
Really, our Taskmaster was hard, pitiless while израненные legs could although somehow carry us onward.
Weak envied that, whose weariness sentenced them to deaths, ибо success was seen such distant, but defeat such close and inevitable, such reliable deliverance from burdens.
We constantly veins that in voltage then in decay; then on гребне waves feeling, that covered by their abyss. We were bitter this our helplessness, left power to live only to see the horizon. We, indifferent to irritate, which we incurred on others or felt on itself, seemed зыбким even sensation physical бытия; yes and бытие itself became ephemeral. The Flashes to meaningless cruelty, perversions, вожделение -- all were so surrface that absolutely us did not worry: laws to moralities, seamingly, called to barrier the person from these напастей, turned the indistinct maxim. We
have adopted that pain can be unbearable quip, sadnesses too deep, but ecstasy is too elevated for our abusive tel to in earnest on all this thinks.
When feeling rose before this mark, wit sank;sunk in stupor, but memory was clouded in expectation of that, when routine finally преодолеет these unjustified deflections.
This exaltation to thoughts, leaving spirit to sail adrift and panderring some strangeness, deprived the old patient an authorities on its body, was too rough to be called back on the most high sufferings and joys.
So we refused from its thinking resemblances, as from old schlock: we left his(its) sometime below us -- given to itself, deprived help defenseless before influences, from which at other time замерли our instincts. We were young and sound: hot blood uncontrolled declared about their own rights, tearing apart bottom of the belly by some strange dull ache. The Deprivations and dangers fired up this fervour, but unconceived nerve-racking climate to deserts only added a little more the fuels to the fire. Nowhere around was not a place, where possible was уединиться, as was not and thick cloths, which closed our естество. The Man openly veins with man in all sense of this word.
The Arab on nature its chaste, but old custom polygamy has nearly rooted out the fornications in племенах aboriginal. The Public women(woman)s in rare villages, meeting on our way for long months of the wanderings, were каплей seaborne even though their worn-out flesh has interested someone from mass изголодавшихся sound mans. Dread from prospect such loathsome trade deal of our youth become бестрепетно satisfy незамысловатые mutual need, not subjecting to killing danger of their own body. Such cool практицизм in comparison with more normal procedure introduced the deprived всякой to sexuality, even чистым. Since time many become unless approve, that justifies these sterile relationship, and possible was guarantee that friends, thrillinged two together on soft song with entwined in ecstatic embrace hot limb, found in the dark certain voluptuous equivalent thought up to passions, fused showers and wits in united воспламеняющем blast.
Other in greedy longing to chastise itself for lust, which not in power were curb in some wild гордыне, frenzied subjected any destructive habit, promised by him enjoyment by physical pain or causing obscenity.
I, foreigner, not capable neither to think as they, nor separate their hopes, but feasible feeling of the debt, have sent to this arab to lead them onward, supporting and developping in them all that was on profit of the England in war, which she. But if me was not given to learn their customs and nature, that single that I remained, -- hide their own own, avoiding hereunder friction in contact with them, not causing discord and not being subjected to critic, but together with that persistently increasing its secret influence. Preparing burdens to their lifes, I became for them its, and not me to be their apologist or attorney. Now, having changed exotic cloths of the people to sandy desert on its old coat, I, seamingly, wholly can settle for the role of the outside watcher event, obedient taste of the theatre to our lifes... but честнее will in writing attest that former ideas and events developed the natural way. That presently introduces the nonsense or sadism, in march or battle seemed or inevitable, or not claiming attention.
The Hands beside us constantly were in shelters, and us is given was a right on this. We wounded and killed the people, hardly feelling scruple, -- so short-lived, so vulnerable was our own life. The Sorrowful reality of such existence predestined ruthlessness of the retribution. We are a veins one daytime and took the death, not conceiving about завтрашнем. When
appeared the reason and desire to chastise, we inserted in history their own lessons gun volley or simply sliced unruly, попавших us under hand. The Desert is not adapted for refined, slow lawsuits, and there no тюрем, where possible was put these court on condemnation.
Of course, awards and pleasures collapsed on us so unexpectedly, as troubles, but at least once for me they had smaller importance. Beduinskie tropes heavy even for one, вырос in desert, but for foreigner simply terrible: this present death heal. When came the end some transition or work, beside I did not remain power neither to write their own sensations, nor to at rare odd moments to admire the high glamour to deserts, occasionly нисходившим on us in our wandering. The Beauties in my mark retreated before cruelty. We, certainly, more rejoiced the rare peace respite and possibility nor about than not to think, but presently I am recalled sooner fury of the battles, mortal awe and fatal mistakes. The Life our was not reduced to that that you have read (there is and such, about than speak in cold blood simply shame on you), but has written I about that that in her really was, and about her most. give God that people, reading this narrative, did not set off from false romanticism and passions to unbeknownst проституировать, on service other folk.
One, is returned in property иноземцам, becomes like йеху from свифтовского "Journeys Gullivera", sold its shower tyrant. But person -- not meaningless creature. He can rebel against them, convincing itself that on it is entrusted certain special mission; criticize them, стремясь transform in something, than without it, following own desires, they never have wanted become.
Then he mobilizes whole its former experience to tear away them from native ambience. Or, what happened to me, imitates him in all so naturally that they in turn begin to imitate him. And then, pretending on place in their ambience, he leaves from its own, but claim these start;put and absolutely insolvent. Neither in that, nor in the other event he not wave to do nothing costing, nothing such that possible was rightfully name his(its) own action (if, certainly, not to think about address in other faith), giving him possibility for reasons given taciturn example to solve that to do or what respond to occurring.
In my event attempt year to live in arabic обличье, вжиться in image of the thoughts arab cost me my english "I" and has allowed absolutely other eye to see the West and rates to his(its) lifes. My belief about he decayed without trace. In ditto time I was not wholly искренен if became to confirm that ready to climb without the remainder in skin of the arab. This was net affectation. The Persons not difficult to do неверующим, turn in the other faith where complex. I have forfeited one обличье and has not found other, having become like casket Muhammeda from our legend, обрекшись the deep solitude and feelling contempt -- no, not to people, -- but to the whole that that they create. Such отстраненность occasionly overtakes the person, devastated debt by physical labour and long-lasting insulation. His(its) body continues mechanical to move, but reason as if abandons him(it) and critically beholds from from nowhere, marvelling that that has made this moldering log and why. Sometimes all best that there is in such folk, changes in emptiness, but there not far and before mental derangement, and I faith, what is a can learn the person, tried to look at belongings VWXbe drafty prism immediately two lifestyles, two systems of the education, two ambiences обитания.
CHAPTER 2
The First difficulty in understanding the essences of the arabic motion was define, who even so they such, these arabs. The Name this "synthesized" folk year for year, slowly, but steadily changed its sense. At one time, the arab named simply аравийца: was a country, which was called Arabia.
However essences of the problem such relationship has not revealled. Existed the language, which named arabic, and exactly he in this instance is a standard of judgement. This was a language, on which spoke the Syria and Palestine, Mesopotamiya, as well as population of the big peninsula, referred to as on geographical card Arabian. Before arabic conquests of these area inhabited different folk, spoken on languages of the arabic family. We name their semitic, but (what can be with majority scientific term) this wrong. However arabic, assyrian, babylonian, pheonician, древнееврейский, aramaic and syrian languages were closely interconnected, and information about their mutual influence, about the total origin even, are confirmed knowledge. If look and custom of the miscellaneous арабоязычных folk to Asia have a tone, like small difference between head of the poppy, which засеяно extensive fields then in the main devil they much gangplank. Their possible was with full right to name the congener, -- congener, realized, on bitter experience occasionly, its kinship.
The Areas to Asia with арабоязычным by population occupied the territory, which outlines approached to parallelogram. His(its) north side spread from Aleksandretty on Mediterranean sea, through Mesopotamiyu, on orient to Tiger.
The South side was a coast of the Indian ocean from Adena before Maskata. West, this territory bordered with Mediterranean by sea, Sueckim channel and Red by sea and spread before Adena. In the east her(its) border were a Tiger and coast of the Persian bay before Maskata. This territory, on area of equal whole India, was a native land that, who we name the семитами, and on her so never and not asses no other tribes though египтяне, hittites, филистимляне, persians, greeks, римляне, turk and francs repeatedly tried this do. All of these eventually turned out to be are, but their diffused representatives-alones sank;sunk en masse firmly сцементированной semitic race. Semity occasionly and themselves did the forays for limits of this zone and, in turn, got lost in чужом for them external world. Egypt, Algiers, Maroc, Malta, Sicily, Spain. The Sicily and France or absorbed, or exiled the semitic colonizer. Only in african Tripoli yes in eternal VWVbehave oddly еврейства distant relatives семитов have got some confession and have found the full tilt.
The Origin these folk remains the academic problem, but for clarification headwaters their rebellion it is important to understand essence former social and political difference between them, which it is impossible value, not обращаясь to geographies. Their array united the row large region, greater physico-geographical differences between which have defined the differences in lifestyle inhabited their folk.
West this parallelogram on space from Aleksandretty before Adena is limited by гористым belt, referred to as on north Syria, which, gradually lowerring southward, consecutively was identified Palestine, Midianom, Hidzhazom and finally Yemen. The Average height of this belt on sea level forms, probably, a thousand three feets, with peak -- from ten before twelve thousand. He обращен on west -- is amply irrigated rain, is enveloped by mist with epidemic deathes and is tightly occupied.
The South edge of the parallelogram forms other гряда mountains, as contrasted with the first -- uninhabited. The Border his(its) began on alluvial plain, referred to as Mesopotamiey, южнее Basry moved over to coast tableland Kuwait and Hasy, before Qatar. The Big part of this plain is occupied.
The Uninhabited mountains and plains border the arid desert, in heart which lies the archipelago богатых by water populous oasis Kasema and Arida. This group oasis was a true centre to Arabia, crib her(its) original spirit and most brightly expressed индивидуальностью. The Desert covers the bases with all sides, making their absolutely inaccessible for contact. Desert Itself, executed this important safe function around oasis and hereunder definied nature to whole Arabia, uniform. Southward from
the oasis this sea impenetrable sand, spreading short of populous steep seaside of the Indian ocean, fenced him(it) from history arab and from any influence of the arabic moral and politicians. Hadramaut, as then named this north seaside, was an object to histories Dutch East-India and gravitated to show sooner, than to Arabia. Westward from oasis, between them and mountain Hidzhaza lies the desert Nedzhd -- kindom gravel and volcanic lava, here and there mixed with sand. Eastward from these oasis, between them and Kuwait, is spread out in the same way gravel space, but with enough протяженными area of soft sand, done almost impassable laid here roads. Northward from oasis lay the belt a song, but for him -- gigantic plain from gravel and lavas, filled all space between east part of Syrias and shoal Evfrata, with which began Mesopotamiya.
The Passability this north desert for people and car technology has allowed arabic rebellion to obtain the light success.
The Mountains of the west and plains of the orient always were the most populous and деятельными by parts to Arabia. In particular, west mountains to Syrias and Palestine, Hidzhaza and Yemen that and deal turned out to be втянуты in orbit of the european life and politicians. The Ethnic these fertile, prosperring mountains gravitated to Europe, rather then to Asia, absolutely in the same way, as arabs always peered into side Mediterranean epidemic deathes, rather then Indian ocean, following both their owns cultural preferences, and business interest, but especially expansionist surges since problem to migration was in Arabia the most large and the most complex driving power, having for it general importance.
However in different arabic region she could reveal itself differently.
On north (the Syria) birth rate in city was low, but death-rate high because of антисанитарии and worrisome life, which the majority of the population. Hereupon, the overweening masses крестьян rushed in city and were absorbed by them. In Lebanon, where sanitary conditions to lifes were found on more high level, existed else greater annual отток youth in America that threatened (for the first time after hellenic epoch) change the look of the whole area.
In Yemen deal обстояло otherwise. There was not an overseas trade and was absent the teemed workers by places industry, which could create the concourses of the population in bad places for health. Thereby, city remained solely trade and on level of the ecologies and simplicity of the mode to lifes were comparable to usual village. So the number of the population there slowly, but steadily increased; the level of living was lowered much low, and around the world gave about itself to know перенаселенность.
Yemency could not emigrate for epidemic deathes. Sudan was else worse, than Arabia, and small sort, dared to leave there to obtain the right on existence, happened to radically to change the lifestyle and abandon to its cultures. They could not move on north, along mountain гряды: this way blocked the holy city a Mecca and her(its) port Dzhidda; the belt foreigner constantly подпитывался the migrant from India, with show, from Buhary and from Africa, more viable, extremely hostile semitic national consciousness and supported notwithstanding economic, geographical and climatic considerations by artificial factor to world religion. So перенаселенность Yemen became extreme, and single output was seen in the east, in the manner of seizure by power of the more weak communes on his(its) border, all below and below on mountain declivity along Vidiana, полупустынного region large водоносных valleys Bishi, Dauasiri, Early hours and Taraby, .текущих in deserts Nedzhda. This are a weak clan constantly happened to to leave from full-flowing sources and изобильных of the palm groves to scanty spring and sickly sapling while they finally did not turn out to be in zone, where occupations any profitable husbandry turned out to be practically impossible. Then they were taken to fill the losses from its unprofitable facilities by breeding sheep and camel, and in the course of time their existence itself all more fell into dependency from herd these animal.
Finally, under the next pressed breathed by him in back of the flow foreigner population of the border region (now nearly completely cattle-breeding) turned out to be is thrown away from the last oasis in virginal desert to change in nomad. This process, which follows to consider through prism separate family today and sort, swept away migration each concrete surname and date, inevitable was to begin with the first day of the full occupying Yemen. Vidian southward from Mecca and Taif packed memorable certificate and names of the populated points, left five times group of ten sort, gone thence, whose descendant possible today to find in Nedzhde, in Dzhebeli SHammare, in Hamade and even on border with Syria and Mesopotamiey. Here, there was starting point to migration, factory nomad, headwaters гольфстрима deserted vagrants.
However lifestyle of the people to deserts differed such mobility, as beside inhabitants of the hills. The Base of the economy was an ensuring the feeding camel, which for the best multiplied in severe climate mountain pasture with their juicy and nourishing thorn. The Bedouins of the vein this occupation, but it in turn formed the image to their lifes, defined sharing the lands between племенами and displacement clan, compelling their go on spring accordingly, year and winter pasture on measure that, as herd alternately ate scanty vegetation on each of them. The Market camel in Syrias, Mesopotamii and Egypt not only defined the number of the population, which could feed the desert, but also strictly adjusted the standard to his(its) lifes. Could be, as desert turned out to be overpopulated;
then occurred displacing an разросшихся sort, and people, pushing aside each other локтями, rushed on single free way on rise. They could not go on south, to inhospitable song and epidemic deathes. Could Not and go on to west since there ступенчатые declivities Hidzhaza swarmed the highlander, extracted all possible advantage from its защищенности. Sometimes they moved to central oasis Arida and Kasema, and then if tribes, garbled itself new house, were strong and eager, they managed to occupy the part of suitable lands. Otherwise if power lacked, inhabitants to deserts gradually displaced on north, up to хиджазской Mediny and недждского Kasema while they finally did not turn out to be on fork two ways. They could move on orient, aside Vadi Rumma or Dzhebeli SHammara, or on Batnu to SHamie, where could become the coast arab Lower Evfrata, or gradually rise on not steep ledge under Tadmorom in north desert -- stairway, ведшей to west oasis Henakii, Heybaru, Teyme, Dzhaufu and Sirhanu while fate will not bring about Dzhebeli Druzu in Syrias, or give to drink their own herd near Tadmora in north desert on way in Aleppo or Assiriyu.
But also then pressure did not stop: continued steadily to act the trend of the displacing northward.
--- page 0011 ---
The Tribes turned out to be beside most borders of the husbandry in Syrias or Mesopotamii. The Favourable possibility and voice of the belly have convinced them in выгодности breedings of the nanny goats, then sheep, but subsequently they started to seed the land in hope добыть although little barley for animal. Now they already were not a bedouin and like all крестьянам have begun to suffer from devastating foray nomad. They became invisibly to join and to peasant deal and have soon found that changed in землепашцев. Thereby, we see that integer clans, been born in высокогорьях Yemen and displaced more strong clan in desert, instinctively changed in nomad, стремясь simply survive. We see, as they бродяжничали, since each year advancing a little севернее or a little восточнее, when fate sent him one of two things -- or get prettier road, or virginal desert while finally this did not bring them from desert to лукошку of the sower once again, for which they red with such reluctance, its timid experience began with what to nomadic life.
This was a rotation, consolidated community семитов. On north hardly нашелся although one семит, whose ancestor in some gloomy timeses did not get through desert. Each of them in one or another degree by noted seal номадизма, this the most deep and the most cruel social discipline.
CHAPTER 3
Since nomadic and оседлые arabs to Asia -- not two different races, but simply miscellaneous step social and economic development, that reasonable expects the total devil resemblance in their thinking, and else естественнее -- in any fruit of their activity. From the very beginning, under the first meeting with they came to light the general purity and hardness of the faith under nearly mathematically строгом observance imposed by her restrictions, even occasionly repulsing their own unacceptable for европейца particularity. Beside семитов was not a halftone in register of the visual perception. For this folk existed only primary colors, more exactly even only black and white, and they always perceived the world only in his(its) external outline.
This was dogmatic folk, despised doubts, our modern laurel and тернии. They did not understand our metaphysical uncertainties, our самокопания. They were comprehensible only truth and lie, faith and disbelief and alien restraining us fluctuations or more fine nuances of our behaviour.
Beside this folk monochrome not only cloths, but also showers before most depths: not in its rectilinear clarity of the perception simply and expressions, but also in estimation. The Thoughts семитов were free only in exceeding circumstance.
The Best degree they used very electoral.
Occasionly seemed that they inconsequential in their own judgements, but they never compromised: up to absurd play-off they followed the logic immediately several incompatible opinions, not feelling this inconsistency. With cool head, balanced in judgements, unflappable alien blast, they swung from one асимптоты to another*.
[* This metaphore -- "swing from one асимптоты to other" -- was born in talk with the other, told that he has by mistake used the term "асимптота" to branch of the hyperbole.
(Note avt.) *]
This was limited, narrow thinking folk, whose inert wit shown itself невспаханное field of the obedient humility. His(its) imagination was ardent, but not creative. In Asia was so little strictly arabic art that practically possible was say that art beside arab was not in general though amongst propertied classes met it is enough liberal protectors art, which supported the talents in the field of architectures, ceramicses or different ремесел, revealled itself beside соседей or amongst slave. Did Not concern with they and any observable industrial activity. Hereto were not adapted neither wit them, nor body. They did not invent the philosophical systems and did not create any complex mythology. They followed its rate between idol of the tribe and caves. Being from all other folk the most subject to disease, they took the grant to lifes, not assigning no questions, as аксиому. For them she was an inevitability, заповеданной person, certain узуфруктом, not subjected to critic. The Suicide was impossible, usual death did not carry the mountain.
This was folk emotional, impulsive, идейный, race to individual gifts. The Actions of these people were terrific on background everyday rest, their great looked else величественнее in comparison with the total level of crowd. Their beliefs were instinctive, actions intuitive. The Main for them were a questions of the faith: nearly all of these monopolists богооткровенных religion. Three have survived Amongst the last: two of them were exported to несемитским folk. The Christianity translated on greek, latin and прагерманский languages and проникшееся by their far from alike spirit, has conquered Europe and America. The Islam in his(its) differently transformed variant subordinated itself Africa and some part to Asia. All this was a semitic successes. But their failures remained with them: Fate of the fringes their desert were a remainder of the weakened faith.
Significant that fact that full destruction fallen religion occurred where desert met with cultivated lands. This was inspired follower all вероисповеданий. However, that was only establishments, deprived solid arguments; for their authoritative acknowledgement needs was a prophet. The Arabs named the number a prophet -- fourty thousand, we have written in its roll not less several сотен. Amongst them was not nor one of the virginal desert.
The Life their complied with the certain pattern. On birth they belonged to to populous city, however incomprehensible passionate longing pulled them back in desert. There they veins during more or less long-lasting time in cogitations and physical abstention, but afterwards returned with engraved in fantasy by messages to sermonize their its former, but already doubted adherent. The Founders three large вероисповеданий in its activity complied with exactly this cycle; the possible coincidence was perceived as law, confirmed parallel жизнеописаниями uncountable ensemble other -- wretch loser, whose true vocation we could value not less, but time and ruin illusion did not help him to parch the showers before readiness взойти on campfire. For town philosopher longing уйти in wilderness always was resistless, and, probably, not therefore that there they found the ever-present God, but therefore that in its solitude отчетливее heard the alive word, which then carried to people.
The Total base all semitic верований, winning or non-prevailing, was an ever-present idea to insignificances of the world.
Irreconcilable отвержение matters have brought them to sermon of the nakedness, self-denial, poverties; atmosphere to this novations mercilessly choked the wits to deserts. The First acquaintance with their самоочищением poverty took place beside me just when we were already far from холмистых plains to North Syria, beside ruins of the romance period, which, what the arabs believed, were a remainder palace, built some prince for its queen. Spoke that clay for this buildings for the sake of пущего wealth of the building замешивалась not on water, but on precious floral butter. My conductors possessed verily собачьим scent, водили me from one room with обвалившимися wall in another, noticing: "Here jasmine, here is this violet, but this rose".
Finally I have called Dahum: "Go-ka here, sniff the most sweet aroma from all". Falling into the main rest, we подошли to gaping window opening in east wall and started to swallow broadly opened ртами thrillinged for them light, нематериальный, calm wind to deserts. His(its) weak breathing was born for distant Evfratom sometime and much days and nights slowly streamed on выжженной by herb to the first рукотворному obstacle on its way -- wall our destroyed palace. Seemed that, met with them, ветерок заволновался, замешкался, залепетав something quite on-baby. "This, -- have said me my fcompanion(satellite)s, -- for the best: he has no scent". My arabs have turned the back to aroma and other luxury, choosing that, what with them could not separate all mankind.
The Bedouin здешней to deserts, been born and выросший in her, the whole soul met with this обнаженностью of the nature, too severe to with her fate on goodwill, -- on that obvious, but unexpressed reason that here he turned out to be undoubtedly and obviously free. He parted with
the material relationship, comfort, any bells and whistles, disposed of things, complicating life to find the personal liberty, чреватую hunger and death. In hunger as таковом he did not see the добродетели; with he remained the small vices, and even some luxury -- coffee, fresh water, women(woman) -- all that him to manage to save. In his(its) lifes were an air and winds, solar and moon light, opened elbowrooms and great emptiness in belly. Was Not neither usual human works, nor изобильной of the Nature; only sky on head yes land underfoot, on which before he did not step not a single person. Here he неосознанно approached to Allah. The Allah was not for it neither deity in human image, nor palpable, neither moral, nor всеблагим, nor natural:
'achr'omatos, 'aschem'atistos, 'anaph'es*,
[* Colourless, formless, immaterial (dr.-grech.). *] that is to say inconceivable, but всепоглощающим Essence, headwaters whole occurring, but nature and matter were only reflecting His(its) mirror.
The Bedouin could not feel the Allah in itself: he too believed that this he пребывает inwardly Allah itself. He could not visualize nothing that was or was not an Allah single in its greatness; and all such did not exclude the simplicities, будничности, непритязательности this всецело the здешнего of the God, which was for arab by essence of their food, sense their march and passions, their the most usual помыслов, spiritual handhold and fcompanion(satellite) that was absolutely impossible for that, whose Hell with such sadness was fenced from them hopelessness their carnal недостойности and декорумом of the official worship. The Arabs did not consider unappropriate to embroil the Allah in their own weaknesses and вожделения, making unseemly action. The Word "Allah" was beside them the most widely-used; our oratory much loses from that that we name its God the most short and the most dissonant from our monosyllabic words.
This faith to deserts introduces the unspeakable word, yes and thought too. She is sooner felt as certain influence, and one, came to desert it is enough long ago to not to think about her(its) enormous space and emptiness, inevitably came to the God as to single refuge and generator of the rhythm of existence. The Bedouin could be nominal суннитом or nominal ваххабитом, or than is pleased as far back as semitic border, and has took this with lightness, on manners стражника beside VWVtell lies Zion, sipping beer and chuckling among сионистов. Beside each separate nomad was its богооткровенная religion, not spoken, not traditional, not expressed, but generated by instinct in him; and so we perceived all semitic religions (their nature and essence) as постулирующие emptiness of the world and fullness of the Allah; accordingly their expression were an abilities and possibility верующего.
The Inhabitant to deserts could not be not considered with its faith. He was not neither evangelist, nor proselyte. He came to this deep самососредоточенности in the God, closing eye on the world and on all multiform possibilities, which realization can provide only access to money and temptation. He found the true faith, powerful faith, but in what narrow limit! The Futile experience ripoffed him(it), shingleses to abilities сострадать, perverted his(its) human добросердечие, obtruding image of the emptiness, in which he and was hidden.
Accordingly he disturbed not only simply to become free, but also be complacent itself. The enjoyment follow For this from causing the sufferings, cruelty, which signified more, than booty. The Arab to deserts did not know to joys, like joys from voluntary сдерживания passions. He brought the enjoyment a self-sacrifice, self-denial, самоограничение. He added обнаженности thoughts such voluptuous colouration, as nakedness of the body. He rescued its shower, possible, and in absence of the dangers, but within the framework of hard egoism. His(its) desert was превращена in spiritual glacier, in which was kept in inviolability, but also not improving in all timeses, his(its) vision единосущности Allah. From event to mate in desert were shown huntsmans from external world in hope to deprive beside natures generation, which possible was turn in its faith.
In city of this faith to deserts impossible was itself to present. She was simultaneously too strange, too idle time, too intangible for export and total use. This idea, base of the faith all semitic religion, expected claiming in city, but she lay ahead to be powerfully diluted to become us comprehensible. Squalled beaten were too piercing for many ушей: spirit to deserts broke VWXbe drafty our roughen shell. The Prophets returned from desert with their own fragmentary beliefs about the God and, as if through закопченное glass, demonstrated us separate certificate of His(its) greatness and briliance, which have on all amounts blinded and have deafened us, have sunk in silence, have did from us that they have done with bedouin, having transformed in wild, torn away from reality of the people.
The Apostles are in attempt to save itself and near from the whole terrestrial Gentlemen according to word have failled, having faced human weakness. To live, any селянин or townsman must fill each its day a joy aquisition and accumulations and, avoiding troubles, strive to top преуспеяния. The Brilliant contempt to lifes, bring other before nacked asceticism, brings the person in despair. He carefree squanders all that has, including generic inheritance, in irrepressible longing by the end of. The Jew in брайтонском "Metropole", skinflint, admirer Adonisa, lecher from злачных of the places Damascus, -- all this certificate to semitic ability to enjoy and simultaneously manifestations to nervousness, which on the other pole brought about self-denial ессеев or early христиан, or the first caliphs, found way in paradise, infinitely distant from beggary by spirit. Semity balanced between вожделением and self-denial.
The Arabs are capable to get into its idea as in loop since not their thinkings bound by obligations loyalty have transformed them in obedient servants. None of they will not come out of play until will come the success, but with him and responsiblity, and feeling of the debt, and obligation. Then, the idea leaves, and all end the ruins. Without faith their could receive a visit at any place on light (but not on the sky) due to their terrestrial wealth and pleasure, which that deliver. But if on this way they met the preacher to some ideas, which nowhere lay the head and which eats the almses like bird celestial, they parted with all its wealth for the sake of his(its) inspirations. They were an unamendable детьми to ideas, thoughtless and deprived race prejudice; and beside them with inevitability body withstood the Shower. The Reason their was strange and dark, full depression and exaltations, not знавшим rules, but more ardent and плодовитым in questions of the faith, than any another on light.
This was folk began, for which abstraction was a most strong stimulating motive, process -- endless courage and variety, but final result -- nothing. They were unstable as water and like water could eventually возобладать it is necessary all. On заре timeses they wave collapsed on coast of the lifes. Each wave was split, but like sea surf carried away although scintilla of the granite, to which carrion, and at one beautiful day next wave got the possibility be without hindrance rolled on that place, where at one time was a material world, and Allah could appear on surfaces of these water. One such wave (and not last) has raised I, earlier, than this has done the breathing to ideas, and she was crushed on Damascus. The Recoil of this wave, split about legal circumstance, since time will generate the new tide.
CHAPTER 4
The First large advancement on Sredizemnomorskoe seaside has shown the world an ability any enthralled идеей of the arab to short выплеску of the tempestuous physical activity. But when heaves panned out, so obvious turned out to be the absence beside arab of forbearance and routine of the semitic thinking. They ignored the necessities enthralled by them province, showing unconcealed repulsion to any system, and they happened to to search for the help won or else more hostile to him foreigner in management their own friable arisen empire. So at the beginning initially Average ages in arabic state become be motivated тюрки, at first as servants, then assistant, quickly превращаясь in malignancy, choked former politician. The Last phase of this process became неприкрытая, spiteful hostility, with which Hulagidy or Timuridy, satisfying its blood lust, burned;burnt and destroyed all that irritated their the most slightest claim on superiority.
The Arabic civilization on its nature was sooner abstract, moral and intellectual, than прагматичной, but absence of the public consciousness did these best personal quality an arab useless. They felt itself to be lucky on that history stage:
Europe became barbarous, memory disappeared in wit of the people about greek and roman civilization. Opposite, the characteristic arab trend imitations was indicative of longing to culture and formation, their mental activity progressed, but state prospered. Their real заслугой was a conservation of some achievements antique past for medieval future.
With receipts turk this happiness changed in pipe dream. Asiatic семиты have gradually ed under turkish yoke and turned out to be able slow умирания. Beside they have deprived all their достояние. Their wits faded under chilling breathing of the military mode. The Turkish rule was police, but turkish political theory such cruel, either as practice. The Turk grafted the arab a thought that interests of any sect above patriotism that even the most small cares to provinces превыше nations. Deftly kindling discords between arab, they sowed;sown amongst them mistrust to one another. The Arabic language was exorcised from court and institutions, including governmental, and from high school. The Arabs could serve only state, жертвуя their own national particularity. These measures were hidden rejected. The Semitic protest declared about itself multiple rebellion in Syrias, Mesopotamii and Arabia against the most rough forms of the turkish introduction, revealled itself as well as resistance the most insidious attempt to absorptions.
The Arabs did not want to waive its богатым, flexible language in favour of rough turkish: on the contrary, they привносили in turkish language ensemble arabic words and kept the treasure of its literature.
They have forfeited its geographical attribute, national, political and history memory, but that сильнее held its language, having confirmed him(it) on the whole territory fatherland nearly. The most Primary duty of each moslem was a study of the Koran, holy book of the islam and simultaneously the most largest monument of the arabic literature.
The Consciousness that that this religion belongs to him, and only him is given to understand and use her(it) in practice, defined for each arab estimation to activity turk.
Has Afterwards occurred the turkish revolution, fall Abdelya Hamida and was confirmed верховенство младотурок. For arab horizon for a short time enlarged. Motion младотурок was a revolt against hierarchical concept of the islam and панисламистских theory old sultan, which, obtaining positions spiritual вождя whole moslem world, hoped to become and his(its) mundane ruler. The Young politicians have rebelled and threw him(it) in prison, impelled hits конституционалистских theory of the sovereign state. Thereby while West Europe only began to rise from nationism to интернациональной idea and ввязываться in wars, distant from race problems, transition began in West Asia from religious соборности to nationalistic politician and to daydream about war already not for faith or догмат, but for home rule and independence. This trend was shown earlier whole and сильнее whole on peripheries of the NEAR EAST, in small Balkan state, and supported беспримерную жертвенность in fight, which purpose was a branch from Turcii. Later nationalistic motion were rolled on Egypt, India, Percy and have finally covered Konstantinopoli, where this trend turned out to be supported and rendered concrete american idea in the field of formation. These ideas вброшенные in suit spiritual atmosphere of the Orient, have formed взрывчатую mixture. The American schools with their exploratory methods of teaching promoted the development to independence of the judgements and free exchange glance. Without всякой special заданности they trained to revolutions since in Turcii not a single person could not become modern, remaining at лояльным to mode if he on birth pertained to conquered folk -- greek, arab, kurd, армянам or албанцам, which turk managed so long keep under its гнетом.
Mladoturki, victimized first success, raged the logic their own principle and in token protest against панисламистской of the ideas sermonized the османское brotherhood. Gullible from number подвластных him folk -- much more multiple, than turk themselves -- have believed that their call to cooperation into the name of construction of the new Orient.
Having Rushed to this purposes (and well-read Gerberta Spencer and Alexander Hamilton), they have brought forth the идейные of the platform of the radical change and have proclaimed the turk their own partner. The Turk frightened power, which have instinctively allowed to declare about itself, задавили these centres in the same way suddenly, as give they разгореться. They have proclaimed the slogan Yeni Turan -- "Turciya for turk"*.
[* Literally: "New Turan"; the more exact translation was "Turkestan for тюрков". (Note ed.) *] Subsequently this policy will turn their efforts on liberation of the turkic population, found under power of the Russia in CENTRAL ASIA, however first of all they were to clean its empire from подвластных him folk, which resisted the mode.
First of all follow to settle up with with arab, the most largest alien component Turcii. Accordingly, the arabic deputies were dispersed, declared outside of law arabic to know.
The Arabic appearances and arabic language were suppressed Enver-pasha more cruelly, than this did before it Abdeli Hamid.
However arabs have already tasted the liberties. They could not change their own ideas so quickly, as behaviour, and break their strong spirit was not easily. Reading turkish newspapers, they in patriotic ecstasy changed the word "turk" word "arab". The Suppression caused painful cruelty in them.
Deprived legal output their own feeling, they became the revolutionary. The Arabic society has left in cellar, having changed from liberal club in centres cabal.
The most Old arabic society Ahua was officially licentious.
In Mesopotamii his(its) has changed dangerous Ahad, deeply secret brotherhood, consisted nearly from arabic officer solely, served in turkish army, which поклялись to possess the military knowledges their own хозяев and turn these knowledges against them into the name of servings arabic folk, when пробьет hour of the rebellion.
This was a large society with reliable basis in South Iraq, where power was found in hand dishonorable Seyeda Taleba, this new John Uilksa arabic motion*.
[* Uilks John (1727--1797) -- english publicist, public figure and politician. In the beginning verged to radical, but then, on post of the lord mayor London, suppressed the appearances of the poverty. (Note ред.) *]
In he entered seven from each ten officers, been born in Mesopotamii, and advice this society was bound such iron discipline that his(its) members before tag end occupied the high command posts in Turcii. When has approached the ruin, Allenbi has made Armageddon and Turciya herded, one of vice-chairmans this society commanded the split parts retreated palestinian army, but other turkish power through Iordan in zone Amman. Later, after armistice, large posts on turkish service still occupied the people, ready to change хозяев on the first word of their own arabic chieftains. The Majority of them this word as well as has not heard. These society were solely проарабскими, did not want to fought no way another, except independence arab, and did not want to see the advantage of the rendering of support ally, rather then turk since distrusted in our notarizing in that that we shall not infringe upon their liberty. Indeed many of them preferred Arabia, united with Turciey on the conditions of full subservience, passive Arabia under more soft checking several european having kept, prepared on spheres of the influence.
Else more significant, than Ahad, was Fetah -- society of the liberty in Syrias. The Landowner, writers, physicians, large public figures united in this society with the total oath on faithfulness, password, symbology, press and central pay-desk for destruction of the Turkish empire.
Using agility сирийцев -- noisy, as if обезьяны, folk, on dexterity comparable to japanese, but more near-by, -- they quickly created the huge organization. They searched for the help from outside and hoped that liberties will possible obtain by cajolery and beliefs, without victims. In constant searching for of the strong ally they adjusted the relationship with Egiptom, with Ahadom (the members which with characteristic месопотамцам by sternness sooner their despised), with sheriff of the Mecca and with Great britain. Activity to this organizations was законспирирована deeply, and though government suspected about her(its) existence, it did not dispose the reliable information neither about her(its) leader, nor about member. The Mode happened to to refrain from persecutions Fetaha before moment, when possible was inflict the well-aimed blow, not irritating above measure english and french diplomat, formed in Turcii modern public opinion. With beginning of the war 1914 these agents have abandoned Turciyu, having given turkish government get fat liberty for repression.
With announcement of the mobilizations whole power turned out to be in hand Envera, Talaata and Dzhemalya -- the most pitiless, clever and vainglorious from младотурок. They have put(deliver)ed before itself problem of the full exterpation нетурецких motion in state, especially arabic and armenian nationism. First of all they have found more attractive and more suitable weapon in the manner of secret document, remained in building french consulate in Syrias. This was a copies of the correspondence on questions of the liberty arab between consulate and one of the arabic club, not connected with Fetahom. The Member of this club were a representatives more chatty, but more dangerous intellectuals of the syrian seaside. The Turk, of course, were in delight: "colonial" aggression in North Africa created the France turn black reputation beside арабоязычных мусульман.
This helped Dzhemalyu to show the единоверцам that arabic nationalists turned out to be invalid, prefer Francium Turcii.
Of course, for Syria like denouncements were not a news, but amongst members society were known and dear people, including university professor; their arrest and reprobation, references and execution deeply shocked the country, and arabs Fetaha have understood that if they do not use this lesson, their fate will be just the same. Armyane were well armed and organizovany. but leaders have betrayed them. They were disarmed and gradually истреблены: man has made the carnage, women(woman) and children, who robbed each passer-by, perished on winter road when evicting in desert, deprived cloths and foods. Mladoturki истребили армян not therefore that that were an христианами, but therefore that were an армянами. On this reason they impounded the arab-мусульман and arab-христиан in one prisons and hung them on one gallows together.
Dzhemali-pasha subjected to all without analysis classes, conditions and конфессии in Syrias to alike oppressions and danger, creating hereunder premiseses for the general rebellion.
The Turk suspected the arab, served in armies, and hoped to use against them tactician of the settling, as against армян. From the very beginning appeared the transport difficulties, and in 1915 in North Syria has occurred the dangerous concentration arabic дивизий (beside the one third soldier to turkish army and were арабоязычны). At the earliest opportunity their disbanded, directing маршевыми pillar in Europe, on Dardanelly, on Caucasus or on Channel, anywhere, only they turned out to be soon on leading, or conducted a little farther from compatriot that that could not neither see them, nor render him help. "Holy war" Was declared to add the младотурецкому a slogan "Unity and progress" resemblance некоей traditional легитимации -- like combat order of the arabic caliph -- in eye клерикалов. And sheriff of the Mecca was offered -- or is sooner ordered -- откликнуться on this slogan.
CHAPTER 5
The Position of the sheriff of the Mecca for long time was abnormal. The Title "sheriff" expected the origin from prophet Muhammeda on lines his(its) дочери Fatimy and her(its) senior Hasana. The Thoroughbred sheriffs were enclosed in family -- huge roll, residing in Mecca under guard of the emir, electoral sheriff sheriff, the most noble and senior on all. The Family of the prophet, counted two thousand people, the last nine centuries realized in Mecca mundane rule.
The Old османские government pertained hereto clan peer with mixture почитания and подозрительности. Since they were too strong to their destroy, sultan rescued its value that that solemnly confirmed the emir. This formal statement rescued only on determined period while turk did not exude that Hidzhaz they need as immutable property, as a part development scene for new панисламистского of the approach. The Successful opening Sueckogo channel has allowed him to put(deliver) the garrisons in holy city. They designed Hidzhazskuyu railway and intensified its influence upon tribes by means of money, intrigues and military expedition.
On measure that as power sultan was consolidated, they tried all more самоутвердиться near by sheriff, even and in most Mecca, and did not miss the event to change the sheriff, surrounded itself too much splendour, and fix the successor of the representative contending family in hope to extract the usual advantages thereof соперничества. Finally Abdeli Hamid has sent the cue-who thereof family in Konstantinopoli, in honourable captivity. In their count;calculate;list turned out to be the future ruler Huseyn ибн Ali, which kept in prison nearly eighteen years. He used this to give its sons -- Ali, Abdulle, Feysalu and Zeydu -- modern formation and possibility to accumulate the necessary experience, which subsequently помог him to bring the arabic armies to success.
When pal Abdeli Hamid, more refined младотурки has revised his(its) politician and have returned the sheriff Huseyna in Mecca as emir. He immediately red for free reconstruction authorities emirate and strengthening to its positions on former base, supporting close contact with Konstantinopolem through their own sons -- vice-chairman of the turkish parliament Abdullu and vowel from Dzhiddy Feysala.
They kept him(it) in rate of political atmosphere in capital before most begin wars, when hastily returned in Mecca.
Razvyazyvanie wars have caused the difficulties in Hidzhaze.
Stopped the pilgrimage, but with him -- incoms and business holy city. There were all basis to be afraid that in ports перестанут come the indian court with provisions (after all nominal sheriff was подданным enemy). But since
the province nearly did not produce own provisions, she inevitable was to turn out to be in dangerous dependency from goodwill turk, which could kill her(its) hunger, locked Hidzhazskuyu railway. Earlier Huseyn never could be in position returned on favour turk; in given, more unhappy event they particularly need for that that he has verged to their джихаду, holy war all мусульман against christianity.
That this war became really popular, she was to get support on the part of Meccas and in this case could sink the Orient in shelters. Huseyn was honour, practical, упрям and deeply pious. He felt that holy war доктринально incompatible with aggression and absurd in alliance with christian Germany.
So he abandoned to turkish offer and simultaneously addressed with full value by call to ally -- not to give the provinces to die from hunger since his(its) folk absolutely not guilty in established position. In answer turk have immediately installed the partial blocade Hidzhaza, enterring checking the motion on railway, carried pilgrim. The Britain has left its seaside opened for court with provisions, which motion fell under under special regulation.
However requirement turk was not single from got by sheriff. At January 1915 Yisin, headed месопотамских officer, Ali Sharp pain, chapter officer Damascus, and Abdeli Gani el-Areysi, acted on behalf civil population to Syrias, have directed him concrete offer about preparing the military revolt in Syrias against turk. Oppressed folk Mesopotamii and Syrias, committees Ahada and Fetaha appealled to him as in father arab, moslem from мусульман, the most great from princes, the most old and the most outstanding about saving from sinister козней Talaata and Dzhemalya.
Huseyn, as politician, as ruler, as moslem, as reformer, as well as as nationalist, was have to прислушаться to their call. He has sent its third Feysala in Damascus for discussing plan these people and for preparing the report. The Senior, Ali, he has sent in Medinu with order about secret shaping at any cost troop from villagers and from mans хиджазских племен and about the maintenance their able readiness to action on call Feysala. The Politician Abdulle, the second son, he has entrusted to enter into a correspondence with Britain for clarification of her(its) positions in respect of possible rebellion arab against Turcii.
At January 1915 Feysal has reported that local conditions favourable, but that total move of preparing the war forms notwithstanding their hope. In Damascus were found three дивизии arabic troopses, ready to rebellion. Two other дивизии in Aleppo, penetrated идеей of the arabic nationism, most certainly must were be joined if начнут others. And on this side Taurusa was only one turkish дивизия so имелась full confidence in that that rebelled will posess the Syria with the first blow. On the other hand, public opinion did not get ready to extreme measure, but military had no doubt that war will win Germany, and will win quickly. But if, however, allies will debark its Australian expeditionary body (prepared in Egypt) in Aleksandrette and thereby прикроют the syrian flank, then was VWXbe clever and safely conclude сепаратный world with turk.
Has Followed the delay since allies moved on Dardanelly, rather then on Aleksandrettu. Feysal followed them to get at first hand information on position in Gallipoli since wreckage Turcii was to become the signal for arab. Has Then followed the halt for several months дарданельской to campaigns. In this slaughterhouse was destroyed османская army to first line. Damage caused Turcii consequent action Feysala, was so significant that he returned in Syria, considering that soon approaches the moment for possible blow. However lately internal situation changed.
Syrian outside Feysala were or are arrested, or escaped, but their friends hung on political accusations.
Favourable adjusted arabic дивизии were or переброшены on distant fronts, or is sent on a parts in turkish join. The Arabic peasantry choked in когтях of turkish selective service, and Syria turned out to be to be prostrate before merciless Dzhemalem-pasha. The Possibilities испарились.
Feysal wrote the father about need of the further delay of the appearance before full readiness of the England and before maximum deterioration of the position Turcii. Regrettably, England was found in sorry states. Her(its) разгромленные power backed out of Dardanell. The Long-drawn agony carouse was on the last stage, but revolt сенусситов, совпавший on time with entering in war of the Bulgaria, created the англичанам a threat with new flank.
The Position Feysala was extremely dangerous. Practically he turned out to be to be returned on favour of the members secret society, whose chairman was before war. He did not remain nothing other, what live as guest Dzhemalya-pashas in Damascus, refreshing their own military knowledges, but his(its) brother Ali raised the troops in Hidzhaze under that pretext that he and Feysal announce them on Sueckiy channel, in help turk. So Feysalu as good officer on turkish service happened to to live at staff and silently take the insults, which subjected to his(its) sort rough Dzhemali.
Dzhemali sent for Feysalom and took him(it) with itself to look, what his(its) syrian friends hang. These victims "justices" found in itself power not to show on court that knew the real intentions Feysala, either as he выказывал itself not their neither word, nor glance: otherwise his(its) family, but can be, and the whole sort learned;learnt same fate. Only once upon a time he вспылил, having declared that these execution will cost Dzhemalyu whole that, what he tried to avoid.
And happened to him to resort to intercession константинопольских friends -- people, occupied in Turcii managing posts to take refuge from payment for their own rash words.
The Correspondence Feysala with father was itself risky.
She went through old servants of the families, people, which were outside of suspicions, travelled back and forth on Hidzhazskoy railway with letter, hidden in hilt сабель, in small cake, in sole sandal or writtenned sympathetics ink on cover harmless package. In all these letter Feysal reported on неблагополучии and asked the father to postpone the appearance before the best timeses.
However Huseyna nor in small degree did not put on the guard warning Feysala. In his(its) eye младотурки were a godless sinner, apostate from its faith and human debt, traitor of the spirit and high interest of the islam. At their own sixty five years of this person was is resolutely adjusted on war, faith that fairness dips her(its) price. Huseyn so believed in the God that did not spare due attention to purely military side of the deal, being sure of that that Hidzhaz capable to be through with Turciey in honest fighting. And he has sent to Feysalu Abdeli Kadera el-Abdu with letter that now all ready for review in Medine before sending troop on front. Feysal has informed Dzhemalya and has asked to release him(it), but, to terror Feysala, Dzhemali has answered that in province goes the generalissimo Enver-pasha and that on review of the troopses they go to Medinu together. Feysal intended immediately on arrival in Medinu to raise the banner its father and thereby to seize the turk врасплох, now on he was dumped two interlopers, who he on law arabic hospitality was not to inflict the harm and which, probably, will postpone his(its) share so that secret of the rebellion itself will turn out to be under threat!
Finally all обошлось well though irony of the fate was shocking. Enver, Dzhemali and Feysal looked, as troops went back and forth and marched on dusty plain for town winch, imitating fights on camel, or spurred the horses in инсценировке boa on spear in spirit ancient arabic tradition. "And all this volunteer, ready to fought in holy war?" -- has asked finally Enver, having turned to Feysalu. "Yes", -- has answered Feysal.
"Fought before the last breath with enemy orthodox?"
-- "Yes", -- has repeated Feysal. When arabic commanders подошли to introduce, sheriff Modhiga Ali ибн el-Huseyn has conducted him(it) aside and has whispered: "Mister, can, us to kill them immediately?", on that Feysal has answered: "No, they our guests".
The Sheiks continued to protest. They believed that to be through with war two blows. They were a packed determinations to force Feysala to reveal their own plans, and that happened to to go with them there, where turkish dictators could not hear his(its) words, but he kept them into view and could any time protect the life of the people, sent his(its) best friends on gallows. Under the end he will bring the apologies a guest, has quickly taken away them back in Medinu, has exposed the guard of the banquet common-room from own slave and has fixed the escort before Damascus to rescue Envera and Dzhemalya from death whilst in transit. He has explained this unusual courtesy by arabic readiness to do for guests all possible. But Enver and Dzhemali, engulfed by deep suspicions, have returned the order about cruel blocade Hidzhaza and have tightened large turkish power for his(its) encirclements. They wanted to hold Feysala in Damascus, but from Mediny came the telegram with requirement his(its) immediate return for prevention disturbances, and Dzhemali very has unwillingly released Fey-fats with condition that his(its) retinue will remain in Damascus in hostage.
Feysal has found Medinu full turkish troopses, including staff and command of the Twelfth army body Fahri-pashas, gallant old cutthroat, glorified blood "clear" Zeytuna and Urfy from армян. Absolutely clear that turk were оповещены, and about sudden hold up, promised success without united shot nearly, could not be and speech.
However show caution was too late.
Four days later retinue Feysala has saddled the horses and got free from Damascus on orient, in desert to take cover beside вождя bedouin Nuri SHaalana. In the same day Feysal has raised the arabic banner. Panislamistskoe наднациональное state, for the sake of which Abdul Hamid killed, toilled and moderate;temper, but is and hopes german on help of the islam in realization world plan kaiser отошли in area of the daydream. Fact of the rebellion sheriff Itself has closed these fantastic chapters to histories.
Any rebellion -- massive step, on what only can dare the politicians, and was too much boldness beforehand to foreshadow him both success, and collapse.
All this time fortune favoured the bold player. This was an equitable end of the adventure, замахнувшейся on much a great deal, but after victory has approached time of the gradual loss illusion, but for him and night, in darkness which foughted have understood that fraudulent all their hopes. And now to him can come the white quietness an end, consciousness of immortal fulfilment, lighting up light inspiration of the sons of their folk.
CHAPTER 6
Before war I much years wandered on semitic Orient, bottomming in life крестьян, strewn on desert племен and town inhabitants to Syrias and Mesopotamii. I was not rich, and this limited my relationship of the contact with poverty, with which was seldom brought meet the european travellier, as has defined that rather unusual corner of the vision, which has allowed me to understand and comprehend not as much occurring on my eye as possible prospects this, in majority of its ignorant folk, with fine слоем the enlightened people, whose seldom voiced opinions deserved that to with they are considered. Besides, I saw, as some political power influence upon frames of mind of the NEAR EAST, and, in particular, all over met the evident signs of the decay imperial Turcii.
Turciya died from overstrain of power and оскудения resource in attempt to hold whole that that remained her in inheritance from empire. The Single argument детей Osmana was a sabre, but sabres went out of date, retreated before more lethal and refined weapon. The Life became too to be complex for naive folk, whose power was in simplicity and patience and in abilities on victim. In Front Asia was not more slow folk, worse prepared to assimilation of the new ways of the rule and else less to creation for itself what-that new. The Administration changed in office on sending the letters and telegrams, in book-keeping on collection of the taxes. The Old people ruled by power of the hand or nature, ungrammatical, direct and stood out personal quality, lay ahead the inevitable departure from deals. Management has alterred by sawing in hands new -- it is enough deft and flexible to use in their own interest mechanism authorities. In composition feeble, consisted of person with little education of the committee младотурок entered the descendant a greek, albanian, circassian, болгар, армян, jew -- who is pleased, only not сельджуки or османы. The Masses forfeited the feeling an unity with their own ruler, well-mannered in spirit of the culture Levanta and french political theory. Turciya decomposed, and вылечить her(its) possible was only surgical way.
Firmly, the devoted old order анатолиец remained the beasts of burden in its village and uncomplaining soldier outside of her(its) limit then folk, subordinated to Empires and forming nearly seventy percents of her(its) population, from day to day increased its power and knowledges; the absence beside them tradition and responsiblity, as well as more alive and quick wit allowed the активнее to master the new ideas. Byloy благоговейный awe and superiority of the turk resolutely in all gradually began to disappear in consciousness of the people.
Change the accustomed balance between Turciey and subordinated by her province required the reinforcements a garrison for deduction conquered territory. All of these -- Tripoli, Albania, Frakiya, Yemen, Hidzhaz, Syria, Mesopotamiya, Kurdistan, Armenia -- required the significant expenses, since each year lain all more heavy бременем on анатолийских крестьян; as a result and without that poor villages year from year became poor all more.
On traditions turkish peasantry recruit without complaining took its fate, as indifferent to the whole sheeps, alien both добродетели, and vice. Being given to themselves, they resolutely nothing do not do and simply sat to the land in тупом torpor. Podchinyayasi order to be well-disposed and circumspect, they as the case may be could behave and as good friends, and as noble enemies. On order they could kill the own father and вспарывать bellies mother with the same tranquillity, with what before this subjected the безделью or did anything sensible. Hopeless, some even painful lack of initiative did their the most obedient, the most harebrained and the most coldblooded soldier in the world.
These soldiers inevitably became the victim their own frankly perverted officer-левантинцев, which sent them on death or scornful threw, not having paid for service, but that and used as object to its repugnant lust. They so did not consider the soldier by people that, enterring with them in relationship not even took the usual precautionary measure. The Medical examination turkish военнопленных has shown that nigh only half of them polluted venereal disease, gained by unnatursl way. The Diagnostics of the syphilis and like him diseases in country was absent, and infect was sent from one to the other, striking integer battalions. The Service lasted six or seven years whereupon wrunged, occurred from добропорядочных family, were ashamed of to return home, and left in gendarmes, or, lowered completely, became the unskilled laborers in city. In country carrion birth rate. The Soldierly service doomed the turkish peasantry Anatolii on вымирание.
We were clear that Orient needs some new factor, some power, some folk, which not only has provided numerical superiority on turk, but also has exceed their as on capacity in sphere of the economy, so and on level of the thinking. The History experience did not allow to reckon that these quality possible in ready type to export from Europe. The Results varied effort european having kept be confirmed in Levante turned out to be equally disastrous, and nor one folk of the West we did not want the ills so to try втянуть him(it) in the further experiments in this direction. Successor in the east must was be some local, internal power, and, fortunately, efficiency of such approach was also defined local condition. Lay ahead соперничество with now already through rotted through Turciey.
Somebody from us considered that it is enough powerful hiding power concentrated en masse arabic folk (shown by itself the most large component of the old Turkish empire), in this the most extensive semitic агломерации with her(its) great religious beginning, it is enough industrious, mercantile and politic, but sooner soft on its nature, than capable доминировать. Having Lived five centuries under turkish yoke, they started to dream of liberty; when England has finally torn with Turciey and simultaneously broke the war west and in the east, we, having considered that in our hand знамение future, have solved to turn the efforts to England on construction of the new arabic world in Front Asia.
Us were little, and majority was united around Clayton, leader of the exploring, as civil, so and military. Clayton was an ideal leader for such companies ungovernable enthusiast, what we presented itself. He was спокоен, независим, прозорлив, selflessly VWVpretend not to be afraid, when speech went about acceptance of responsiblity on itself. Its subordinated he gave get fat independance. His(its) glances were broad, as extensive and his(its) cognitions, and acted he sooner as authority for wits, than as severe chief. Show signs his(its) influences was not easily. He was befitted running water or seeping butter;oil;grease, quietly, persistently penetrating through all barriers. It is Difficult was say, where he in absentia is present at present and how much beside it real adherent. He never obtruded its managing dug, but ideas his(its) were close one, their personified. On people produced an impression sobriety of his(its) judgements and calm, dignified temperance of the waiting. In practical deal he was rather disorderly and careless that's why with he easy found the total language independent people.
The First amongst us was Ronald Storrs, secretary on east deals of our missions, the most brilliant from англичан on the NEAR EAST, dainty eager though much to its energy he spent on fascinations by music and literature, sculpture and painting, on love to the whole beautiful in the world. As it were that nor was, Storrs sowed;sown that all we reaped, and always was for us the most significant persons. If he smog to leave from the world and concern with the drill of its wit and bodies with tenacity of the athlete before solving competition, that one only his(its) shade, as if mantle, has covered all made by us and the whole british politician in the east.
In our rows was and George Lloyd. He pertained to us with confidence, but his(its) cognitions in the field of finance did his(its) reliable conductor on labyrinth of trade and politicians, forecaster of the future main ways of the development of the MIDDLE EAST. Without his(its) participations we never have did so much for so short time, but this was a worrisome soul, thirsted sooner отведать new, than exhaust open bottoms up. The Greater nave was fated big sail, and he did not detain beside us. And, probably, as well as has not heard, as we his(its) loved.
There was and Marks Sayks, ardent protector малоубедительных worldwide motion. And not only them, but integer of the bouquet prejudice, intuitive postulate and полунаучных of the hypothesises. The Ideas came to him from outside, and beside he came short patiences to feel the material, previously than choose the style to designs, which he intended выстроить. He grasped for some aspect of the truth, separated him(it) from surrounding circumstance, выворачивал, bloated and prototyped in one's own way while joining the former resemblance and new непохожести did not cause the laughter surrounding. The Minute of such laughter were a minute of his(its) triumph. His(its) instincts of the vein by its life close to пародийному to beginning. On vocation he was sooner cartoonist, than painter, even when speech went about state deal. Resolutely in all he found unusual and ignored stale. He was it is enough several штрихов to draw the picture of the new world, deprived scale, but vividly reflected to purposes, to which we strove;strived. He brought us and profit, and harm. At the last week of stay in Paris he tried to soften this harm. Having Returned from trip in Syria with political mission, where with terror realized the true contents of their own daydreamings, Sayks noble confessed: "I mistakenned: truth here is here". The Former friends have not valued his(its) new convictiom, accusing him(it) in inconstancy and error; but soon he moderate;temper. The Death his(its) became the most great tragedy from tragedy for arabic deal.
Total confessor-mentor and advice-giver was Hotart with his(its) lesson of the histories and history parallel, endurance and gallantry. In eye of the outside watcher he was a pacifier (I whole consisted of когтей and fang, in I sat the present devil); due to his(its) authority with us were considered and heed to our opinion. He was vested by fine sensation of true valuables and taught us to see power, hidden under завшивленными tatter and изъязвленной by skin of that mass of the people, what appeared the arabs before us. Hogart was arbitrator and peerless historian, sent their own knowledges and was divided by careful wisdom under each suitable event since believed in our deal. For he stood Kornvallis, person repulsing appearance, but obviously выкованный from that mysterious metal that melt under impossible temperature in a thousand of the degrees. He could month to blaze жарче others, carried to white heat, and looked herewith cool and hard. But there -- Niyukomb, Parker, Gerbert, Greyvs, convinced people, persistently done its work so, as they her(its) understood.
We named itself "Group of the invasion" since we intended ворваться in stale corridors english external politicians and create in the east new folk, not looking over on rails, laid predecessor.
So we, resting in its eclectic reconnaissance agency in Cairo (the anxious place, which for endless telephone voiced and put, for ceaseless running about shave off Gerbert named the station of the East railway), were takeаased work with leader all rank, close and distant. Of course, the first object our effort flock sir Henry Makmagon, sovereign commissar in Egypt. With characteristic him shrewdness and tempted by wit he has immediately understood our замысел and has approved him(it). Other, for instance Uemiss, Neyl Malkolm, Uingeyt, with readiness us have supported, поняв that war will serve to creation. Their argumentation has consolidated the favourable impression, created beside lord Kitchenera for several years before that, when sheriff Abdulla addressed to him in Egypt with request about help. Thereby, Makmagon reached that that had for us solving importance: rapports with sheriff of the Mecca.
But before this we entrusted the hopes on Mesopotamiyu. Exactly there eager action fatal unscrupulous Seyeda Taleba was as one should begin arabic motion for independence; for this have followed the appearances YAsina el-Hashimi and military league. The Subject blind worships arabic officer was an adversary Envera, around obliged us Aziz scarlet-Masri, живший in Egypt. At the first days of the war his(its) catered the lord Kitchener, hoped to bias on our side turkish power in Mesopotamii. Regrettably, Britain
then got drunk own confidence in quick and runaway victory: expected shattering mess Turcii beforehand named the pleasurable walk. But indian authorities were dead against some advance arabic nationalist, which could limit the амбициозные plans to force future месопотамскую colony to go on self-sacrifice for the sake of the commonwealh, as this was with Burma.
The General-governor has broken the negotiations, has repulsed Aziza and interned Seyeda Taleba, returned in our hands.
Then he rough onslaught entered the troops in Basru. Vrazheskie power in Iraq consisted nearly completely of arab, doomed to fought on side their own многовековых oppressors against folk, for a long time scanned by their liberator, but balk refused to play this role. Not difficult understand that foughted they much bad. Our power won one battle for others, and then we have understood that indian army better turkish. Has Then followed the rash dash to Ktesifonu, where us have met purely turkish troops, foughted not for awe, but for conscience and rendered us resolute rebuff. We in confusion have retreated. And began the long torments Kuga.
Meantime, our government repented and on reason, absolutely not connected with fall Erzeruma, has sent me in Mesopotamiyu to value the possibility of the liberation of the precipitated garrison by some indirect way.
The Local британцы categorically remonstrated against my arrival. Two generals from their numbers even turned out to be so good that have explained me that my mission (about real purpose which they nothing do not know) disgraceful for soldier (which I was not). Actually something undertake was already late so agony carouse ended, and, thereby, I have not done nothing from that that was intending and had an authorities to do.
The Conditions for arabic motion were ideal. In deep rear of the armies Halila-pashas raged the rebelled population Nedzhefa and Kerbely. Survivor in armies Halila arabs, upon their own confession, were opened enemy Turcii.
The Tribes Haya and Evfrata could move to our side, show;develop британцы although some signs to favors to him. If we have ed the promises, given us sheriff, or at least leaflet, subsequently sent in enthralled Baghdad, and have proceed with corresponding to action, to we were joined it is enough much local armed inhabitants to overlay the turkish communications between Baghdad and Kutom. Several weeks such action, and enemy or turned out to be have to remove the siege and retreat, or itself has got in blocade carouse, on its sternness comparable to blocade locked inwardly Taunshenda.
Gain time for undertaking of such operations was not difficult. If british staffs in Mesopotamii have got from Military ministry else eight planes for increase the daily deliveries of provisions garrison carouse, resistance Taunshenda could be continued for vague time. His(its) defence was for turk impregnable, and only rough errors inwardly and вовне кольца has compelled his(its) surrender.
However since local figures did not use these possibility, I immediately returned in Egypt. And before tag end of the war англичане in Mesopotamii remained essentially simply иноземной by power, occupied вражескую territory with passive neutral or hidden hostile population that has deprived their that liberties of the movement, what was beside Allenbi in Syrias. He has entered as friend in country, active likings of the population were on his(its) side. The Factors to number, climate and communication were for us in Mesopotamii more favourable, than in Syrias, but high command was from the very beginning not more eager and experienced. However list of the losses in comparison with the document Allenbi, tactics "wood hack, slivers fly" in comparison with his(its) fencing acceptance have clear shown, as disastrous disadvantage political situation capable to on hand purely military operation.
CHAPTER 7
In Mesopotamii we have tolerated the disillusionment, but Makmagon continued the negotiations with Mecca and finally obtained successful their terminations, in spite of evacuation Gallipoli, delivery carouse and as a whole disadvantage situation on front.
Only a few, including one, knew all about move negotiations, really believed that sheriff is comprised of war, and so fact that he has finally raised rebellion and has opened its seaside for our court, became and for us, and for them full surprise.
We have soon understood that our difficulties only begin.
Since origin this new factor we were wholly obliged effort Makmagona and Clayton, their chief has seized professional jealousy. Absolutely naturally that сэру Archibalidu Myurreyu, general, found in Egypt, were do not need the rivals in sphere of his(its) competencies.
He haved little liking for the civil power, which so long supported the world between him and general Maksvellom. He could be not entrusted managament arabian deal: neither he itself, nor his(its) staff were it is enough competent in ethnologies that absolutely necessary if you deal with such fine problem. On the other hand, beside it was a full possibility to do it is enough funny spectacle chapters diplomatic representation in country Commonwealth, leading its private war. He was nervious, moody and extremely ambition persons.
He has met support on the part of chief of its staff of the general Lindena Turned white, bloodthirsty солдафона, differed by combination of the instinctive repulsion to politician and well calculated to cordialities. Two from officer of the General staff have hotly approved the position their own chief, and wretch Makmagon turned out to be the deprived help to armies and is humiliated by duty to lead the war in Arabia under care assigned to to him attachee Ministry of foreign affairs. Somebody be voiced against war, allowed stranger to sail in their deal. Additionally in them so deeply engrained the skills of the suppression, sufficient to add everyday banality of the diplomatic routine visibility persisting male work that when came time to concern with the more important thing, they transformed them in same most banality. Their expenses, small soil, which they made to each other, could not not cause beside military repulsions, yes and we did not supply the likings to him:
too uzh frankly these гавнюки humiliated Makmagona though themselves were unworthy even to clean him boots.
Uingeyt, absolutly certain in that that completely владеет the situation on MIDDLE EASTS, foreseed that arabic motion get popular in this region and will bring him greater profit, but under influence growing critics Makmagona became and itself from he is marked off. Yes and London already intimated that so fine and tangled deal better to send in more experienced hands.
However in Hidzhaze deal went all worse. The Field arabic troops were not provided by reliable relationship, sheriffs are deprived military information, were absent although some recommendations tactical and strategic order, was not done no attempts of the study of the local conditions and use material resource ally for satisfaction of actual need arab. The French military mission (which clear-eyed Clayton has offered to make for Hidzhaz to ублажить extremely suspicious ally, having given by him place backstage event and having put(deliver)ed before them some problem) without hindrance braided the clever intrigue against sheriff Huseyna in his(its) city Dzhidde and Mecca and recommended him, as well as british power of the measure, which must were подорвать his(its) authority in eye all мусульман. Uingeyta, which now provided our military interaction with sheriff, have convinced in need to debark the troops of the foreign troopses in Rabege, midway between Medinoy and Mecca, for protection of the Mecca and сдерживания further advancement from Mediny got second wind turk. Encircled crowd adviser, Makmagon was lost that served for Myurreya cause to accuse him(it) in insolvency. Arabic rebellion was discredited, and staff officers in Egypt with joy predicted his(its) fast collapse and death of the sheriff Huseyna on turkish gallows.
My position it is impossible was name simple. As officer of the staff Clayton in reconnaissance division сэра Archibalida Myurreya, me were imputed in duty collection to information on location of the turkish troopses and preparing the cards. On the strength of its natural aptitude I have added hereto issue of the Arabic bulletin -- secret weekly report on fair-east politician. Clayton all more made sure in need of my presence in military division Arabic agency -- teeny reconnaissance and military staff, concerned with by foreign deals, which (zh in that time organized for Makmagona. Eventually Clayton have removed from General staff, and his(its) place has occupied, having become chief, colonel Holdich, officer of the exploring Myurreya in Ismailii. His(its) first intention was leave me in its staff, but since there was absolutely clear that I he does not need, I not without a certain friendly help has interpreted this as way to keep me in side from arabic deal. And has solved that it is necessary to run -- now or never. My direct report was declined, and I have resorted to tricks. The Contents my telephone talk (the общевойсковой staff was found in Ismailii, but I in Cairo) became absolutely unacceptable for staff on Channel. I used any possibility be ed on ignorance and непрофессионализм officer разведотдела (that was a truth), but else more irritated them, correcting contended with SHou speech periods itself and tautologies in their донесениях.
Did Not pass and several days, as this became to bring them in fury, and finally they have solved that will not become more to tolerate my presence. I used this strategic possibility for report about десятидневном furlough, having referred that Storrs left on deals in Dzhiddu, to Great sheriff, and that I wanted repose in trip together with him on Red sea. Storrsa they did not love and were pleased dispose of me although not for long. The Consent was is immediately received, and they were taken prepare to my return ground for official discharge me from deals. Of course, I did not be going to to give him such chance since, being always ready to donate its body for the sake of any deal, requiring performances of the soldierly debt, I not at all was going to lightheaded to part with its soul. I left to Clayton and исповедался him in all. He agreed in missions about official request on telegraph in Ministry of foreign affairs in respect of my translation in Arabic agency. Forin office ed with Military ministry directly, and egyptian command has heard on all not until deal was solved.
We with Storrsom successfully hit the road. IN THE EAST speak that best way to go the area -- move along three her(its) sides, and in this sense my manoeuvre wholly corresponded to the spirit of the Orient. But I justified itself faith in final success of the arabic rebellion at condition correct managament. I was one of his(its) initiator from the very beginning, all my hopes were connected with him.
The Fatalistic adherence of the professional soldier to deference to ranks (the british army unbeknownst intrigue) was to force the decent officer to sit and look at that, as designed by him plan of the campaigns ruin the people, nothing in him not understanding and not practised callNname showers. Non nobis,
Dornine*.

The Book 1. OPENING FEYSALA
The Chapters with 8 on 16. I believed that reason of these failures of the rebellion was insolvent managament, even sooner absence any managament, as arabic, so and english. So I went to Arabia to and value the possibility her(its) leader. We were aware of that that first of them, sheriff of the Mecca, was age. Abdullu I have found too clever, Ali too чистым and dobpodemelinym, Zeyda too cool.
Then I moved inside country to Feysalu and has seen in him leader, full necessary fire and herewith it is enough здравомыслящего to serve on profit to our deal. His(its) соплеменники introduced the obedient instrument in his(its) hand, but холмистая terrain of his(its) possessions provided the sufficient advantage as natural obstacles. I confidentially returned in Egypt and доложил its chief that Mecca protected not Rabeg, but Feysal in Dzhebeli Subhe.
CHAPTER 8
"Lama", small liner, remodeled under military ship, got ready to sailing from Sueca and, приняв us aboard, has immediately ed from pier. Like short journeys on court-martials were for them rare passenger like us pleasing respite. This time, however, does not обошлось without a certain awkwardness. Our combined team company, probably, has broken заведенный on ship order. The Younger rank happened to to transfer their own berths to us was where sleep in the night, but daytime smoke-company beeped from our unaccustomed for sailor of the chatters. The Known its intolerance Storrs seldom dawned before contact, but in this day was else more cutting, than usually. He twice обошел of the deck, фыркнул: "Not with whom even speak", and, усевшись in one of two things comfortable кресел, затеял dispute about Debyussi with Azizom el-Masri, been situated in the other easy chair. Aziz, arab of the circassian origin, former colonel to turkish army, but now general in armies of the sheriff, moved in Mecca to discuss with sheriff questions provision and quartering the regular arabic troopses, which he formed in Rabege.
Through several minutes, having left at rest Debyussi, they have alterred by sawing to descreditting Vagnera. Aziz fluently spoke on-german, but Storrs that and deal went with german on french, afterwards on arabic, and back. The Officers of the nave found whole this talk absolutely excessive.
We have made calm transition before Dzhiddy on miraculous Red epidemic deathes, not feelling person fervours on move ship. Daytime we lay under тентом, but exciting night loitered back and forth on wet deck under star, fanned by humid breathing south winds. But when "Lama" finally dropped anchor and замерла on external roadstead, on significant distance from white city, as if hung between blazed by sky and own reflection in broad lagoon, on which swung back and forth and were rolled wave of the mass of the overheated air, on us implacable мечом was crushed arabian heat, deprived us faculty of speech. There was afternoon, but noonday sun of the Orient, like moon light, silences the paints, as if lulling them, leaves only light and shade, blinding white houses and black breaks of the streets between them.
Ahead of pale mirage of the haze, trembling on internal roadstead, for her -- немереные elbowrooms brilliant sand, as if взбегающего on гряду low hills, outlines which were vaguely guessed in mist hung ardent heat on them.
Straight northward one more group of the monochrome constructions loomed from Dzhiddy, is woke;waked swung upwards and downwards, like gigantic поршням to in tact fluctuations deducted by anchor ship, which mildly careened with side on side on soft зыби lagoons under blast light winds, гнавшего all new waves of the hot air. All this looked is alarmed, вселяло the terror and forced to regret of that that price неприступности, done Hidzhaz safe militarily staging area of the rebellion, was foul, unhealthy climate.
However colonel Uilson, british representative in new arabic state, has sent for us its motorboat, and we did not remain nothing other, what descend on coast and воочию make sure in realities of the people, as if steamed in this mirage. Poluchasom later collapse (more resemble(go)ed on root of the mandrake, than on person), assistant of the consul, smiling in the whole mouth, met its former chief Storrsa then recently fixed officers to syrian police body and port officials, выстроившиеся along customs quay on manners of the guard of honour, greeted Aziza el-Masri.
We have heard that just in these minute in city въезжал sheriff Abdulla, the second son of the emir of the Mecca. We lay ahead with he are met, and thereby we arrived just in time.
We went in consulate past white laying still built winch and further, on oppressing its type to rows grocery market. Midair, pouncing that on people then on bosom date then on meat, were carried clouds of the flies, like speck, dancing in ray of the sunshine, penetrated VWXbe drafty holes in wooden or linen awning in the most dark corners of the commissaries. Breathe was gravely, as in парилке. From constant humid contact with scarlet кожаной by upholstery deck кресел "Lamas" for the last four days have reddened the white tunic and trousers Storrsa, and perspiration, flowed down on cloth, shone all in her(its) pleat brighter. I was so заворожен this зрелищем that did not notice, what my гимнастерка colour khaki in that places gets dark, where touches with body. Storrs, in turn, guessed, will way before consulate it is enough long that I was painted in decent, worthy, harmonious tone, but I thought about that that all, on that will now sit Storrs, will inevitably become scarlet from his(its) cloths.
We got before consulate too quickly to could be sold these our hopes, and turned out to be in shaded to room, where back to lifted a lattice window sat Uilson, ready радушно meet the light sea breeze, which something замешкался at the last days. He has taken us coldly, either as befitted honored, rectilinear англичанам, beside which Storrs caused the suspicion by at least its artistic scent: when meeting in Cairo beside us were revealled certain disagreement in question about attitude to national arabic cloth. I named her(its) simply uncomfortable, for it she was categorically unacceptable. However, in spite of their own personal quality, he was dedicated our deal. He has prepared lain ahead meeting with Abdulloy and has promised to render us any feasible help. Besides, we were his(its) guest, but exquisite east hospitality was in his(its) spirit wholly.
Abdulla, which townsfolk greeted with taciturn respect, has arrived to us on white mare, in encirclement traveling on foot, armed before зубок slave. He was intoxicated by its success in Taife and счастлив. I saw him(it) for the first time, Storrs was his(its) old other in most full sense of the word, and all much soon after begin their conversations I became to suspect him(it) in overweening good-nature. In talk he that and deal somehow compliant winked. The Sheriff, which was whole thirty five years, noticeably располнел, possible that's why that too rejoiced to lifes. Low, strong, светлокожий person with brown hair with neatly подстриженной by beard, as if compensate too expressed округлость smooth of the person with unusual narrow ртом, he was смешлив and open in contact, but can be, deftly expressed openness and under the first acquaintance was absolutely charming. He did not keep the протокольного of the ceremonial, at ease jested, meeting each entered, but cost to go to serious talk, as from this lightness did not remain and trace. He carefully selected the word and very deliberately argued their own arguments. Nothing other not to follow from it and expect since Storrs presented the most high requirements to its opponent.
The Arabs considered Abdullu clear-eyed statesmans and clever, fine politician. He and вправду was an тонок, but not so to convince us in its full sincerity.
The Prides of the sheriff did not cause the doubts. Went the rumours that exactly Abdulla defined the frame of mind its father and was a soul of the arabic rebellion, but was created impression that for this he was too forgive;pardon. Outside of any doubts, he strove;strived to independence and shaping new arabic nation, but herewith intended to save for its семьей power on new state. He sharp-eyed staked out us to use us, but through us and Britain, in their own purpose.
I persistently obtained its, staking out sheriff and criticizing him(it). The Last several months of the deal of the rebellion were плохи (lingered sluggishness, ill-considered hostilities -- all this could become the prelude of the catastrophe), and I suspected that reason was an absence beside his(its) chieftains of the skill to tales for itself: intellect, authority, political wisdom was little, needs was an enthusiasm, capable воспламенить desert. The Main purpose of my arrival was find and arouse the certain absolute spirit of the great enterprise and value his(its) ability to bring rebellion to marked by me purposes. On measure of the continuation of the talk I all more made sure in that that Abdulla was is too balanced, is too grown cold, too ироничен for dug the prophet, more so armed prophet, succeeding if believe to histories, in revolution. Inherent him quality, possible, are useful, when after success approaches the world. For armed fights, when need целеустремленность and the personal initiative, Abdulla was an example of the use too complex instrument for achievement purpose idle time though even in present condition to ignore his(its) was it is impossible.
First of all we addressed to question about statute Dzhiddy to dispose to itself Abdullu, changing glance on малозначительной to problem to administrations of the sheriff. He has answered that arabs too got stuck in war to think about civil rule. They have inherited the turkish managerial system in city and continued to use her in more modest scale. The Turkish government often shown the favor to influential to persons, giving him significant priveleges on determined condition. As effect this, amongst turkish protege in Hidzhaze was it is enough such, who regretted of appearance of the national ruler. In particular, public opinion of the Mecca and Dzhiddy was adjusted against idea arabic state. The Mass of the town population consisted of foreigner -- египтян, индийцев, яванцев, african and representatives other folk, absolutely unapt to like the hopes an arab, especially bedouin. The Last veins to account that that could get from foreigner on their own road and in valley that generated неизбывную feud between townsfolk and bedouin.
The Bedouins were a single warrior, on which could calculate the sheriff. Rebellion wholly depended on their help. The Sheriff gratis their armed, many of them paid for service in their own troops, helm to their families, when they were found far from native places, and leased beside them pack camel for providing провиантом their own field army.
Accordingly, the village prospered, but city became all беднее.
One more ground for their discontent was a question to legality. The Turkish civil code was cancelled, and jurisprudence returned to old religious rule;govern -- founded on Koran to procedure, realized arabic kadi. Abdulla with grin explained us that, when will come time, they will find in Koran of the utterance and postulates, which will do his(its) aplying to such modern commercial operation, as bank deal and exchange exchange. For the present, of course that townsfolk lost as a result of cancelling the civil laws, gained the bedouins.
The Sheriff Huseyn secret approbated reconstruction former племенного building. When arising dispute between itself bedouins have appealled the actions an enemy before судьей of the tribe, whose job title was hereditary, chosen from the most dear family, but salary his(its) was a nanny goat, annually levied with each facilities. The Condemnation was stood on the grounds of custom and was supported reference to enormous amount memorable precedent. The Procedure was public and free. In the event of dispute between representative different племен judge fixed by mutual agreement or resorted to service of the judges from the third tribe. If deal turned out to be difficult, in help judge was attracted jury in composition four persons; two chose the family plaintiff of the defendant, but two other -- family defendant of the plaintiff.
The Decisions always were taken only unanimously.
We beheld drawn Abdulloy picture with sad thought about paradise garden and on all that, what lost because of unexceptional human weakness Eva, whose ashes rests for this wall straight, but afterwards Storrs втянул me in debates, having offered Abdulle to state their own looks at condition of the campaigns to enter me in rate of the deal and for report staff in Cairo. Abdulla immediately посерьезнел and has declared that to should like to persist before британцами on their immediate and the most active participation in decision of the problem, which he has outlined as follows.
As a result of our refusal to cut Hidzhazskuyu railway turk to manage сосредоточить transport and necessary facility for reinforcement Mediny.
Feysal cast-off from city, and enemy prepares the mobile pillar, armed by all means of weapons, for coming on Rabeg.
Because of our negligence arabs in hill, overlaying this way, feel quip necessity in reinforcements, as well as in machine gun and artillery required for long-lasting defence of the terrain.
Huseyn Mabeyrig, chief of the tribe Masruh Harb, перешел on side turk. If мединская pillar will forge ahead, Harb is joined to her.
His(its) father will not remain nothing other, except lead their own people in Mecca and die, foughting for holy city:
In this moment зазвонил telephone. The Great sheriff wanted to talk with Abdulloy. That has told him, on than was broken our talk, and father has immediately confirmed that in the last resort so and enters. The Turk will fall into Mecca through his(its) dead body only. Has Sounded the disablement signal, and Abdulla with hardly observable smile has asked to prevent such misery, sink the british crew if possible, consisting of мусульман, on court in Suece and make for Rabeg as soon as turk начнут its approaches from Mediny. That we think about this?
I have answered: first, history accuracy requires to acknowledge sheriff Huseyn itself has asked us not to overlay Hidzhazskuyu railway, since she will be necessary under his(its) victorious approach in Syrias; secondly that dynamite, sent by us, was returned with instruction that arab to use him much dangerously; v-tretiih that also much it is important, we did not get from Feysala no request for supply.
As to sending the crew in Rabeg, that this complex question. The Transportation by sea costs much, and we can not infinitely keep in Suece empty transport court. In our armies was not a moslem subdivisions, british crew -- bulky join, and for her(its) loading and debarkations took much time. The Staging area in Rabege great. Hardly crew could his(its) hold, and she was absolutely unable to select power for prevention of the infiltration of the turkish pillar in глубь territory. At most that she could do, this defends the coast under gunpoint ship орудий, but nave managed with this problem and without land troopses.
Abdulla answered that naves with psychological standpoint it is not enough, since battle beside Dardanell has destroyed the legend about всемогуществе british fleet. The Turk will not go further Rabega. In all region Rabeg -- single place, where there is water, and they need his(its) pit. Mission of the crew and
the transport must be only time since his(its) victory таифские troops already move on east road from Mecca on Medinu. As soon as he will leave on intended border, he will return the orders Ali and Feysalu to close him(it) with south and west, and their united power announce big approach, as a result which with Bozhiego blessing Medina will is taken. In the interim Aziz el-Masri forms in Rabege battalions from syrian and месопотамских volunteer.
If we have added to him военнопленных arab, being kept in India and Egypt, these power was it is enough to execute all problems, temporarily entrusted on british crew.
I have said that state his(its) glances in Egypt, but has noticed that for англичан unacceptable removings of the troopses with vitally important defence Egypt (though Abdulla could not even вообразить itself that turk создадут the real threat for Channel), and else more unacceptable dispatch христиан for protection of the population of the holy city from his(its) enemy since some мусульмане in India, considered that turkish government belongs to the essential right on Harameyn -- holy city Mecca and Medinu, wrong have understood our actions and their motives. I think that could, probably, with greater persuasiveness to support his(its) opinion if had a possibility доложить about situations in Rabege in light own информированности about position and feeling of his(its) population. I should like to be also met with Feysalom and discuss his(its) need and prospects to continue the defence of the hills power племен if we have rendered him material support. I also wanted проехать from Rabega on Sultanskoy road aside Mediny, before camp Feysala.
Then came Storrs and has supported me as soon as could, emphasizing life importance full and well-timed information, which experienced watcher will give british главнокомандующему in Egypt, and that fact of the sending itself here on order сэра Archibalida Myurreya the most experienced and absolutely irreplaceable staff officer proves, what serious importance he will add the arabic deals. Abdulla подошел to telephone and tried to convince its father to consent to my trip in глубь country.
The Sheriff has met this offer with big suspicion.
Abdulla persisted, obtained certain success and has sent the tube Storrsu, which has crushed on oldster whole power its diplomatic art. When Storrs could be in blow, listen his(its) was an utter enjoyment, as with standpoint beautiful holdings by arabic speech, so and lesson each englishman, as it is necessary to hit it off with suspicious or simply stubborn people of the Orient, Withstand him long several minutes were simply impossible: has found he necessary words and in this instance. The Sheriff has once again asked to telephone Abdullu and has allowed that write to Ali, and if beside it will not be an objections and condition will be normal, allow me trip in Dzhebeli Subh to Feysalu. Under influence Storrsa Abdulla has transformed these careful recommendations in direct written instructions for Ali, as possible better and sooner equip me in way and with reliable accompaniment to deliver in camp Feysala. Since this was all, what wanted I, and half that, what wanted Storrs, we have broken the conversation for lunch.
CHAPTER 9
On way in consulate Dzhidda us have enchanted, and after lunch, when became a little прохладнее or at least once sun stood already not so high, we have solved to examine the city in accompaniment Young, assistant Uilsona, feels at home with many antiquity, but much worse in that new that was in this city.
This was really remarkable city. The Streets his(its) presented itself paths, on main market hidden under wooden roof, in all other places entrenched upwards, to the sky, between high белостенными house in four-five floors. They were built from крупнозернистого coral limestone, are bound beem of the square section and украшены broad эркерами from the land before roof, formed from sulphur of the wooden panels. Glass window Dzhiddy did not know, but then in excess were a wooden lattices, and here and there on боковинах window box was seen fine quite intelligent thread. Heavy двустворчатые door from teak tree, covered by deep thread, with forged iron кольцами, changed european voiced, hunged on богатых forged loop. There was much лепнины, or gypsum thread, but in internal courtyards of the more old houses watched the window with beautiful stone upper брусьями and jamb.
The Architectral forms reminded the delirious style wooden-stone houses елизаветинской epoches in whimsical чеширской to manner, carried to extreme degree трюкаческих вывертов. The Facades of the houses were before that выщерблены, иссечены and are peelled that looked as cardboard models in some romantic of the theatrical window dressing. Each floor emerged on previous, each window slanted in that or the other side, often even wall noticeably were rejected(deviate) from вертикали. The City seemed extinct, so was quietly around and purely underfoot. His(its) извилистые streets were выстланы humid sand, solidified from time and silenced steps not worse any ковра. The Window lattices and wall, repeated изгибы streets, muffled any resemblance an echo.
Is Not seen was neither vehicles, nor streets, it is enough broad for them, nor shod a horse animal, and nowhere no put. All were muted, отчужденно, even mysterious. When we went by, door were soundless closed. Was Not neither barking dogs, nor плачущих детей, and on market only, also seemed half asleep, we have seen the small circles a wanderer all colors yes rare passer-by, худущих, as if haggard some disease, with морщинистыми by beardless persons and прищуренными eye. These people tried quickly and carefully slip by, not глядя on us. Their poor white cloths, shaved heads with tiny skullcap, red cotton wool kerchief on shoulder and barefoot legs looked so equally that seemed nearly uniform.
Oppressive atmosphere breathed the death. In her was not no sign of life, as was not and испепеляющей fervours, but she was saturated влагой and memory about many century, in she reigned опустошенность, seemed, немыслимая nor in what other place: no specific scent, inherent, for instance, Smirne, Naples or Topsail, only sensation многовекового cargo to antiquities, as if замершего here breathings ensemble people, yes having diarrhea shade rack scent of the perspiration on background of the other evaporations. Possible, there was think that Dzhiddu year did not blow out the strong wind that her(its) streets delay this air from that day, as it was built city, and will not release from itself while cost(stand) these building. On town market нечего was buy.
At night зазвонил telephone. The Sheriff has invited to device Storrsa and has asked, does not want that listen his(its) orchestra.
"That for orchestra?" -- wondered Storrs, not преминув to congratulate his(its) holiness with such success of the town progress. The Sheriff has explained that staff хиджазского commands under turk has wound the copper brass band, which played each evening for general-governor, but when Abdulla has put that in Taifskuyu prison, in that place together with he turned out to be and orchestra. When prisoners were sent in Egypt and are interned, for orchestra have done the exception. His(its) have translated in Mecca for услаждения rumour of the winners. The Sheriff Huseyn has placed the tube on table in its common-room acceptance, and all we, solemnly invited on one to telephone, listened this orchestra, played in palace of the Mecca, in forty five miles from us. Storrs has expressed the general satisfaction, and sheriff, расщедрившись, has declared that orchestra leaves forced маршем in Dzhiddu to play in courtyard conducted us building. "And then you will be able to deliver me pleasure, -- has added he, -- having rung me and having allowed to separate your satisfaction".
The following day Storrs has visitted Abdullu in his(its) tents near by гробницей Evy. They together проинспектировали hospital, barracks, town offices and used the hospitality of the mayor and governor. In break between visit they discussed the financial questions, problem of the title of the sheriff, his(its) relations with other arabian prince, as well as the total move of the hostilities -- all that usually falls into agenda on negotiations послов any government. This was bored, and, when after one of like matutinal conversations I have understood that Abdulla not that chieftain, which needs to rebellion, I, having apologize, discharged from negotiations. We have asked Abdullu to describe us genesis of the arabic motion, and answer has allowed us wholly to value his(its) nature. He began with vast description Talaata, the first turk, talked with him about emotions in Hidzhaze. That wanted their resolute suppression and introduction, as in Empires all over, obligatory soldierly service.
Wanting overtake him(it), Abdulla has made out scheme peace revolt in Hidzhaze and after futile appearance Kitchenera has beforehand fixed him(it) on 1915. He intended during holiday to address with call to племенам and take in hostages pilgrim. In their count;calculate;list could turn out to be many from seen people Turcii, to say nothing of leading politician Egypt, India, show, Eritrei and Algiers. He hoped, having in their own hand of a thousand these hostage to turn on itself attention interested great having kept. Abdulla thought that they will be able to exert pressure on Port to provide the liberation a compatriot. The Port, not disposable power to settle up with with Hidzhazom military way, or will go on concessions sheriff, or confessed in its weekness foreign state. In the last case Abdulla will go on direct rapprochement with them, ready to satisfy their requirements in exchange for warranty иммунитета from Turcii. I quite did not like this plan, and I was pleased, when Abdulla with light grin has said that anxious Feysal asked the father not to follow him. This characterized Feysala with the best sides, to he now gradually turned round my hopes as to worthy dug great вождя.
At night Abdullu waited the dinner beside colonel Uilsona. We met him(it) in courtyard, on stair крыльца. For he followed the brilliant retinue from servants and slave, further dragged along the group pale, haggard бородачей with sorrowful persons, dressed in tatter of the military form and dragged tarnished copper wind instrument. Abdulla махнул hand in their side and with pride has declared: "My orchestra". The Musician has seated on commissaries in courtyard, Uilson has sent him cigarettes, but we in the interim rose in table, балконная door which was greedily распахнута toward sea breeze. While we took seats, orchestra under gunpoint ружей and sabre of the servants Abdully грянул вразнобой hair-raising turkish tune.
VWVtake in Beside us have pawned from this noise, but Abdulla shone.
The Company looked enough odd: itself Abdulla, former vice-chairman of the turkish parliament, but now foreign secretary rebellious arabic state; Uilson, governor to seaside province Sudan and envoy his(its) majesty at courtyard of the sheriff of the Mecca; Storrs, secretary on east deals in Cairo after Gorsta, Kitchenera and Makmagona; Young, Kokreyn and I itself in dug the staff hanger-ons; Seyed Ali, egyptian army general, commander of the troop, sent in help arab on the first stage; Aziz el-Masri, now chief of the staff to arabic regular army, but in past adversary Envera, headed power Turcii and сенуситов, in campaigns against italian, main заговорщик amongst arabic officer in turkish army, raised an objection to Committee unity and progress, sentenced turk to capital punishment for consent with term Lozannskogo agreement and rescued "Taymsom" and lord Kitchenerom.
The Charter from turkish music, we have asked, it is impossible play anything german. Aziz left on balcony and has yelled been situated adown musician that they have played for us anything foreign. They are a deafening грянули hymn "Germany превыше whole" -- moreover just in that moment, when sheriff in Mecca has raised the telephone tube to listen that play on our evening party. In response to request to play else anything from german music they have wound "Stronghold". To medium they definitively lost, and tune истаяла under faded lack of coordination drum. Their skin has grown dump in humid air Dzhiddy. Orkestranty have required the fire to correct the instruments. The Servants Uilsona and bodyguards Abdully have trained straw and some cardboard box. The Musicians have warmed up the drums, turning them before костром, but afterwards broke the music, named by them "Hymn to hate", in which nobody from us not to manage to catch nor tipoff on european звучание. "Funereal march", -- has noticed Seyed Ali, turned to Abdulle. Beside that enlarged the eye, but Storrs, rapidly entered in talk to rescue the situation, has turned all in amusing fun. And we have ed the sad musician a remainder our foods together with ulcerating the delight that has not brought him big joy; they implored soon to send their восвояси. The next morning I have swum away from Dzhiddy in Rabeg.
CHAPTER 10
In Rabege rode at anchor indian warship "Norsbruk", on his(its) board was found colonel Parker, our officer communication with sheriff Ali, which he and has ed brought by me letter from Abdully with "order" his(its) father immediately to send me to Feysalu. Ali was struck by his(its) contents, but nothing could not do, since single quick communication with Mecca was a ship wireless, and he scrupled to send the father of their own objection through us. And has done all that could, having given me its own splendid riding camel under saddle, увешанного luxurious сбруей, pillow неджской work from varicoloured bit of the skin, with long fringe and with net, bordered by metallic wickerwork.
Accompany me in camp Feysala he has fixed the reliable person -- Tafasa el-Raashada with son from tribe навазим харб.
Ali did all this to the best advantage with approvals Nuri Saida, baghdad staff officer, with which I befriended in Cairo, when he was ill. Now Nuri was a second person in command regular power, which here formed and trained Aziz el-Masri. The Second my other at courtyard was one of the secretaries Faiza el-Huseyna, Promise the Sheik from Haurana, former representative turkish government, during war run through Armeniyu and finally got before miss Gertrudy Turned white in Basre. She and has directed him(it) to me with warm recommendation.
Itself Ali, which appeared me majestic, turned out to be the person of the average growing, thin and looked senior their own thirty seeds of the years. He mildly stooped. On yellowish person stood out greater, deep brown eye. He had fine, with enough expressed горбинкой nose, sad omitted lips, недлинная blackenning beard and very graceful hands. The Manner of his(its) behaviour was worthy and caused the delight, but herewith differed straightforwardness, and he has struck me its джентльменством, bona fides and delicacy of the nature, in spite of a certain nervousness and evident weariness. His(its) physical weakness (he had a tuberculosis) revealled itself in periodic sudden fit of the febrile shivering, which preceded and for which followed the periods moody stubborness. He was well-read, is formed in the field of right and religions and short of fanaticism pious. He too well realized its high origin to be an амбициозным, and was too clean;scratch;peel to notice or suspect the mercenary motives in its encirclement. This did his(its) soft on intrigues officious companion and excessive sensitive to recommendation of some large leader though purity of his(its) intentions and behaviours gained him love that, to whom happened to to have a deal directly with him. If suddenly became clear that Feysal not at all prophet, rebellion wholly could to confession by its chapter Ali. I have considered that he dedicated arabic deal, than Abdulla or than his(its) young consanguineous brother Zeyd, helped him in Rabege and having been(appeared) together with Ali, Nuri and Azizom in palm groves to look at my debut. Zeyd was self-conscious, белокожим, beardless youth of the years nineteen, calm and diffused -- nowhere near not фанатичным adherent rebellion.
Really, his(its) mother was an турчанкой, and was born he in harem so hardly could pertain with big liking to idea of the arabic rebirth, but in this day he did all to seem pleasing, and even has exceed Ali, possible therefore that his(its) feeling were not so is powerfully piqued by appearance of the christian in holy possessions of the emir. Zeyd, of course, as far back as smaller degree, than Abdulla, was given birth by leader, which I searched for. All he liked me, and I seemed that on measure возмужания he will change in resolute person.
Ali has not allowed me to hit the road before sunset to as small as possible his(its) followers saw my departure. He kept my trip in secret from own slave even and has sent me бурнус with main charge, which I was to close the military form that my silhouette in twilight did not differ from any usual rider on camel. Beside me was not with itself products, and Tafasu was ordered to find some meal in the first settling, Bir el-Sheik, lain mile in poles, not to allow address to me with some questions, stop the curiosity on length of the whole way, detour the party of the camp and avoid any meeting. The Tribe масрух харб, inhabited Rabeg and county, only expressed devotion a sheriff. Actually it consisted of adherent Huseyna Mabeyriga, амбициозного of the sheik, envied emir of the Mecca and torn with him. Now he became the exile, жившим in hill eastward, and was known about his(its) contact with turk. His(its) people were not adjusted obviously протурецки, but willingly obeyed its chapter. If he has learned;learnted of my departure in Mecca, he wholly could order some gang to delay me at journey on territory its neighborhood.
Tafas was from Hazimi, belonged to to branch бени salem of the tribe харб and, of course, was not in good relations with масрухом.
This biased him(it) to me, and since he agreed to accompany me to Feysalu, we could him to entrust. Prevyshe whole beside arabic племен is valued faithfulness of the road fcompanion(satellite). The Conductor by head to have charge of life charge.
One person from tribe харб, promised to conduct Hubera in Medinu, broken word and убивший him(it) on road near Slave-ga, when has found that that christian, be subjected to general ostracism and though religious prejudice were on his(its) party, thereafter in solitude dragged the miserable life in hill, deprived any friendly participation and possibility to take the wife from its tribe. Thereby we wholly depended on goodwill Tafasa and his(its) Abdully. And Ali tooth and nail tried to his(its) the most detailed instructions have not.
We moved through palm groves, girded;girted absent-minded buildings to villages Rabeg, and hereinafter, under star, on Tehamskoy valley, monotonous band to sandy desert, bordered west seaside to Arabia between seeshore and coast mountain on length сотен monotonous miles. In day watch this low-lying plain breathed the unbearable heat, but full absence of water did her(its) запретным by way. And all this way was inevitable since powerfully rough terrain in more благодатных hill did not allow to set off through it with north on south with gravely loaded animal.
The Night chill was pleasing after day stops and debate, so bored in Rabege. Tafas went onward silently, and camels in the same way soundless stepped on soft, even song. I thought about that time, when this was a road pilgrim, on which incalculable generations of north folk moved in holy city, неся with itself offerings of the faith to entrust them beside гробницы, and I seemed that arabic rebellion could become in a certain sort by pilgrimage on north back, to Syrias, ideal from ideal, faith in liberty and in revelation. We went several hours without break while camels have not begun оступаться, why squeaked turned gray: faithfull sign that soft plain is replaced the sun dune with tiny hard кустиками and that's why it is difficult passable, since around cortex are accumulated hillocks of sand, but in gap between them, leading away for itself gerbils, вьются the curl sea winds.
The Camels strode in the dark more certain, since starlight was too VWVhave diarrhea that jaggies of the road rejected the shade and were discernible. Shortly before полуночи we stopped, I плотнее was enfolded in бурнус, has chosen the впадинку approaching amounts and has fine missed in her short of dawning.
As soon as Tafas has felt that air becomes colder, he rose, and two minutes after we already once again moved onward. The Hour later has quite dawned while we rose on low layer of the lava, nearly доверху drowned in inflicted ветром song. He connected small her(its) language, reached short of coast, with the main лавовым by floor Hidzhaza, which west edge went above, on the right on us, defining place of the coast road. This layer was каменистым, but недлинным. On both parties синеватая lava rose the hunch, forming low declivities, with which, according to Tafasa, possible was see плывшие on epidemic deathes of the court.
The Pilgrims понастроили along road пирамидки -- occasionly whole from three stones, prescribed one on another, at other times integer bosom, built many people, where each passer-by could place its stone -- simply therefore that so entered others, possible, знавшие, why they this does.
For каменистым гребнем road was lowered in broadly распахнувшийся elbowroom, Masturahskuyu plain, on which текла seaward Vadi Fura. The Plain was a variegated uncountable riverbed, выложенными by pebble on depth in several inches, which tore the flows of water in that rare events, when in Tareife went the rain, and ручейки, превращаясь in tempestuous streams, were carried seaborne. The Width of the delta in this place got to poles of the miles. Along a part of plain water текла hour or two, but that and on two-three days at year. And so lasted for many years. The Underground layer were here saturated влагой, protected from solar лучей alluvium sand so here bloomed the tree with thorn and small shrubbery. Got the tree with diameter of the stem in one feet, but height their could reach twenty feets. The Tree and shrubbery grew the separate group, and their lower branches were обглоданы hungry camel. They seemed ухоженными, высаженными deliberately that introduced strange amongst this savageries, particularly if take into account that Tehama all through before these places was absolutely nacked пустыней.
Above, in two hours of the walking from us, what spoke me Tafas, was found горловина, through which Vadi Fura resulted from the last granite hills, and was there built small village Horeyba with always current creek, pit and palm grove, in which veins вольноотпущенники, concerned with husbandry. This was an important circumstance.
We have underrated that fact that riverbed Vadi Fura was direct expensive from vicinities Mediny in region Rabega. It passed the so южнее and западнее to possible position Feysala in hill that hardly possible was say that he closed this way. Additionally Abdulla has not warned us about existence Horeyby though she greatly influenced upon position Rabega, since provided the enemy an водопой outside of zones our possible action and досягаемости our ship орудий. The Turk could сосредоточить in Horeybe significant power for hold up on supposed positions of the crew in Rabege.
In response to my questions Tafas has told that in Hadzhare, lain in mountain from Rabega eastward, there is one more source of the water, he is found in hand of the tribe масрух, where now staff their протурецкого вождя Huseyna Mabeyriga. The Turk could do his(its) following stage of its advancement from Horeyby to Mecca, not touching Rabega on flank. This meant that required english crew has not was able rescue the Mecca. For this were needed power, unfolded by front by extent of the miles in twenty to cut the enemy from the sources of water.
In the interim on most dawning we have started their own camel by good trot on by pebble riverbed between tree, направляясь to мастурахскому pit, the first stage of the way pilgrim from Rabega. There we were to do the short respite and store water. My верблюдица enraptured me, me never was brought go on like animal. In Egypt good camel was not, about camel Sinayskoy deserts though harebrained and strong, it is impossible was say to their аллюр was such soft and quick, as beside these road animal arabian potentates.
And all value my верблюдицы to a considerable extent remained втуне since it is correct to use them could only deft, I have said, created for such camel riders, but not at all I, which was it is enough that that his(its) carry, but uzh about skill to control the animal could not be and speech. There was easy sit on back верблюдицы, not falling with it, but much it is difficult to understand and use her(its) abilities by so as long transition did not tire neither rider, nor animal. Tafas whilst in transit did the transparent tipoffs on my awkwardness, and this was one of small that, on which he afforded to talk with me. Seemed that order not to allow my contact with surrounding world has closed the mouth and him most. But sting since me was of interest his(its) idiom.
Beside the most north fringe Masturaha we have found the pit.
Near by he грудились the ruined wall that former barrack, that simply hut, but opposite -- several awnings from branches and palm sheet, under which was situated the small group a bedouin. We did not, moreover -- Tafas has detoured the rubble, and we were ordered to dismount, having escaped for bosom stone. I уселся in her(its) shade, but they with Abdulloy were taken give to drink the animal, drank once fill themselves and have brought water to me. The Pit was old, broad, good stonework, with reliable railing around. The Depth his(its) was around twenty feets. As a matter of convenience wayfarer, not disposing of rope, like us, in stonework was made niche of the square section with staple for legs and hands on corners to come down to water and fill water a wineskin.
Dosuzhie idlers have tossed in pit so much stones that half of the bottom turned out to be is bound and water was little.
Abdulla has tied the long sleeve бурнуса around shoulder, has shut the floors under girded;girted his(its) cartridge belt and literally засновал there and back on staple in niche, is wailled every time on surface on four-five gallons of water, which we выливали for camel in stone washtub near by pit.
They have drunk each gallon on five, after all with the last водопоя in Rabege passed the integer a day. Then we give camel to repose and themselves have peacefully sat, breathing light ветерок with epidemic deathes. In remuneration for their own works Abdulla выкурил cigarette.
Several харбов have drived to pit big гурт племенных camel and were taken their give to drink: one of the shepherd was lowered in pit to fill water big кожаное pail, but other raised him(it), sorting hand rope under loud chant in rhythm стаккатто. We looked at them, not enterring in talks since they were from tribe масрух, but we from tribe salem, and though both clans of the vein in the world now and their representatives could appear on belonging to to each other territory, this was only temporary armistice on war of the sheriff with turk, but not at all sincere manifestation to goodwill.
Silently examinring closely shepherd, we have seen two riders, approached by light trot with north. Both were young. One was dress;clad in богатые cashmere cloths, in головном kerchief, paneled by thick silk. The Cloth other was попроще -- white cotton wool бурнус and kerchief from red fabrics.
They stopped beside pit; the splendid rider has gracefully slid down to the land, not bending knees, and, having returned its fcompanion(satellite) cause, impassive ordered: "VWVgive to drink them, but I shall leave and отдохну". Afterwards шагнул to rubble and уселся under our wall, having taken a look at us with emphasized indifference.
He has offered me cigarette-самокрутку, already свернутую and stuck by saliva, with word: "You from Syria?" Having Blinked the question, I, in turn, has voiced the suggestion about that that he from Mecca, on which also has not followed the direct answer. We little have spoken of war and about that, what becoming very thin верблюдицы beside масрух.
All this time his(its) fcompanion(satellite) with impassive type still stood, not unhanding cause and, see, expecting, when харб will finish to give to drink its гурт. "What is wrong, Mustafa? -- got angry his(its) young gospodin. -- VWVgive to drink them immediately!" Approaching to him, servant уныло answered: "They I shall not give -- "Else what! -- взъярился the master and three or four times has powerfully knocked the lash ed to his(its) leg wretch Mustafu on head and plecham. -- Mortar to him and ask". Offended Mustafa, obviously expected new blow, has considered for the best to return to pit. Bewildered харб, проникшись pity to Mustafe, has transferred him place and gave to give to drink two camels from pervaded him washtub. "Who he such?" -- has in whisper asked the shepherd, and Mustafa has answered:
"First cousin of our ruler from Mecca". They have quickly unfastened from one of turned gray the bag and poured before both riding camel her(its) contents -- green sheet and buds prickly tree. Their usually underbided with low shrubbery by heavy stick, and broken off escapes to carrions on расстеленную under bush fabrics.
The Young sheriff looked at all this with complacent type. When his(its) camel наелся, he leisurely, without visible effort rose on his(its) neck in saddle and, at ease in him having been situated, bade;bid farewell with us, but then unctuous voice has asked beside Allah good for arab. That low have wanted him lucky road, and he was touched in way on south, we взгромоздились on brought Abdulloy camel and have headed for north. The Minutes through ten I have heard the chuckle old Tafasa and has seen, as between his(its) turned gray by beard and moustache заиграла sarcastic smile.
-- That with you, Tafas? -- has asked ya.
-- Mister, you have heard these two riders beside pit?
-- Sheriff and his(its) servant?
-- Here is exactly. This was a sheriff Ali ибн el-Huseyn from Modiga and his(its) first cousin, sheriff Mohsin, rulers Harita, mortal enemies масрухов. They were afraid that if arabs their will hear, that will seize or will not to pit, and so pretended the simple wayfarer -- master and his(its) servant from Mecca. You have noticed, as was furious Mohsin, when his(its) has knocked the lash Ali? This is Ali uniform devil. When him was whole eleven years, he run from father building to uncle, robbed on road pilgrim, and together with he concerned with this deal much months while his(its) has not caughted the father. He was under our ruler Feysale since the first day мединского battles and has removed the tribe атейба on plains in pass-by Macaw and Bir-Dervish. The Riders foughted on camel horseback, and amongst people Ali was not nor one, who has dared not to do that that did he -- run near by camel, hold one hand for saddle, with handgun in the other hand. The Children Harita were an детьми of the war.
For all time of our way oldster for the first time so got into conversation.
CHAPTER 11
While he spoke, we rapidly raced on blinding sparkled to plain, now nearly deprived tree, and soil underfoot camel gradually became all soften.
At first this was a sulfuric pebble, выстилавшая road thick слоем. Afterwards sand became all more, but stone got all less, and we have already begun to distinguish on colour met here and there clearings flint, porphyry, sulphur crystalline schist, basalt. Finally and they disappeared, and remained one nearly white sand, covered layer of the more hard soil. Run on him camel was nearly in the same way easy, as on grassy ковру lawn. The Gerbils were чистыми, polished and caught the sunbeams, as tiny diamonds, reflecting them with such power that this quickly became unbearably for eye. I squinted as could, built on the main kerchief an козырьком on eye, trying protect them and from below, on manners has withdrewed to although be it somehow insured from burning heat, sparkling wave risen from overheated sand and whipped me on person. In eight miles ahead of, for YAnbo высился the gigantic peak Rudvy, which foot sank;sunk in trembled a haze of the evaporations. Quite close rose the low formless mountains Hasny, seemed, partitioned us way. On the right on us rose the steep ridge, where lived the tribe an бени айюб, toothed and narrow, as saw the first from ensemble гористых formation between Tehamoy and high ledge of the tableland, approached to Medine. These mountains were gradually lowered in north direction, moving over to bluish row of the small hills with soft outlines, but for them to dominated it is necessary all central array Dzhebeli Subha with his(its) fantastic granite spire rose the uneven stairway, row for beside ridges of the mountains, in this hour seemed red in ray low hung sun.
Little later we have turned to the right from road pilgrim and on short passage crossed gradually increased area of the foothill, whose flat basalt гребни drowned in song, leaving on his(its) surface only the most high горбины. Here remained it is enough влаги, and here and there on declivity, поросших by hard herb and shrubbery, fall the small sheeps and nanny goats. Tafas has shown me stone, marked border of the territory of the tribe масрух, and with complacent grin has declared that now he building, on the land of its tribe, and us anymore threatens no danger.
The Ignoramuses consider the desert futile, no man's land, any area which each wave to declare its property;
practically beside each hill, owner was общепризнанный beside each valleys, ready to assert the rights its families or clan under any manifestation of the aggressions. Even beside pit and beside tree were their own хозяева, which allowed all drink вволю and use the tree on firewood for campfires, but immediately stopped any attempts a stranger to turn them in its property for the reason for lucre.
The Desert vein in mode некоего natural communism, under which nature and her(its) forming always open for any friendly located person, пользующегося them for own necessities and nor for what other. The Logical effect of such approach were a confession of the right on privileges for people of the deserts and acerbity to stranger since the total safety was provided by total liability of the people, bound by kinship.
The Valleys became all четче, with чистыми riverbed, выложенными sand and pebble, with separate large stone yes, washed off with mountains by high water. Got the greater заросли ракитника, on sulphur verdure which reposed the eye -- suitable only on firewood, but not on provender for animal. We continued to rise until left on main road pilgrim, on which went before sunset, when взорам was opened small village Bir el-Sheik. With approach сумерек, when already blazed the campfires, on which inhabitants prepared the supper, we passed on broad street and stopped. Tafas зашел in one of two groups of ten of the miserable hovels and, changed with someone several hardly heard word there, after long pause returned with flour. Reconnoitring her(it) in water, we замесили the thick dough, have rolled out him(it) in small cake by thickness of the inch in two and inches in eight in diameter. Afterwards
we зарыли her(it) in ash campfires, where blazed the branch of the shrubbery, brought by woman-субхиткой, with which Tafas, similars, was a sign. When small cake became warm, he has taken her(it) out of campfires, отряхнул from ash, and we have divided her(it) on two since Abdulla left to buy itself tobacco.
They have told that in this village two recoated stone pit beside foots of the south declivity, but beside me was not a desires their examine since from long transition whined unaccustomed to such load of the muscle, yes and heat of the plain was too gruelling. From it beside I shall go bubble on skin, but eye painfilly were ill from flash of the light, reflected from silvery sand angularly and polished before briliance stone. The Last two years I have conducted in Cairo, integer by days not getting up because of writing-table, or in небольшом populous office, full distracting noise, disturbed сосредоточиться, for talk about a hundred of urgent deals, actually nowhere near not necessary, distracting only on daily running about between office and hotel. On contrast with all this new position was very difficult since beside me was not time gradually to get accustomed to ruinous arabian sun and endless monotony go;drive on camel. But lay ahead else night stage of the way and long завтрашний transition, previously than we were to reach the camp Feysala.
I was thanked need to prepare meal and do bulk purchase, on that has left one hour, and else hour of the rest, which we have afforded on the total consent. There was sadly that he quickly ended. We once again взгромоздились on camel and have gone to absolute darkness through one valley in another, crossing layer of the hot air in closed hollow and blown on become cool ветром in opened places. The Soil under us was obviously sandy, silence of our motion tore apart my unaccustomed VWVtake in and lulled so I constantly fell asleep in saddle and then and there suddenly afraid awoke, instinctive grapping for rack turned gray to save the balance, occasionly broken by unexpected motion animal. There was too dark, but outlines to terrain were too indistinct to not to give the become heavy lash be lowered on всматривающиеся in mirk of the eye. Finally we stopped on pleasing, long послеполуночный rest, I was wrapped in бурнус and заснул in comfortable sandy могилке, previously than Tafas has haved time to to tangle the cause my верблюдицу.
After three hours we newly were whilst in transit, this time vaguely distinguishing road, illuminated by истаивавшим glow of the moon. We moved along Vadi Marid deaf in the night, sultry, taciturn, between островерхими hill, risen on parties in rarefied air. There, there was much trees.
The Dawning has caught us, when we came out of these gorges on broad elbowroom, on equal surface which unpleasant gust of wind raised the curl of dust. All more dawned, and on the right on us were shown Bir ибн Hasan. Absurd brown and white lodges, for safety held together in huge shade высившейся for them gloomy, steep gaps Subha, seemed the игрушечными and more rueful, than desert itself. While we examinred closely them in hope to see although some signs of life beside their doors, sun continued quickly to rise, and on background else yellowish from gone out dawning sky in powerfully refracted ray of the white light started to reveal itself the outlines взмывших on a thousand feet to the sky of the aired s.
We continued to move through greater valley. Some rider on camel, chatty and old, has left because of houses and was joined to us. He with excessive развязностью has named its name -- Hallaf and flow of the trivial salutatory words broke after small pause, but when they run short, tried втянуть us in talk. However Tafas, which was obviously unpleasants such company, answered monosyllabic.
Hallaf was not retreated and finally to conquer our location, stooped and excavated in its saddle bag small enamel tureen with decent portion product main of the feeding at journey on Hidzhazu. That was a yesterday's fresh dough, crumbled under finger though else warm and watered fluid mask for viscosity. The having Sweetened powdered sugar, his(its) finger roll down in balls, as humid sawdust.
For the first times I have eaten little, however Tafas with Abdulloy pounced upon this delicacies, and as a result generous Hallaf itself remained half-starved, it is necessary to say, well-earned since beside arab was considered by feminine weakness to take with you meal in short journey on some hundred of miles. Now we were a friends, and talk was renewed. Hallaf has told us about the last battle, taken place on the eve and finished for Feysala unhappily. Similars, he was dislodge;knock out from Keyfa in верховьях Vadi Safra and was found presently in Hamre, quite not far from us, at least once, so thought Hallaf.
We could check this in Vaste, the following village on our way. This battle was not cruel, but between people from племен Tafasa and Hallafa appeared some discords, and Hallaf on order has stated all that knew, naming name and claim with each parties.
In the interim I attentively examined to vicinities, since me much interested this new area. From sand and rubble, remembered with past night, and from Bir el-Sheik did not remain and trace. We went the valley by width from two before three сотен yard on выложенному by pebble very hard soil, from which places выпирали bosom beaten green stone. Here, there was much prickly trees, including acacia by height in thirty and more feet with their luxurious verdure, tamarisk and soft shrubbery, complemented glamour, well ухоженных and transformed breathing to deserts in pleasing air parka. In this early matutinal hour they rejected long, soft shade. As if swept, soil was such even and чистым, pebble such varicoloured, and her(its) colour mingled in such glad gamma that appeared the sensation an рукотворного landscape, and this feeling was consolidated прямолинейностью and sharpness of the outlines of the steep hills. They appeared on the left and on the right with regular gap, hanging тысячефутовыми breakaway brown granite and dark порфировых of the denuding with rose spot moreover on some strange accident these sparkling paint hills rested on стофутовых foundation from granular stone, which unusual colour spoke of that that they cover fine sprouts мха.
We have проехали on this the most beautiful places beside seeds of the miles, before low watershed, rough wall from debris of the granite. The Formless bosom stone at one time certainly served the barrier. She went from one before another and even rose upwards on declivity of the hills in that place, where they were not too turn;curl. In the centre, where passed the road, were two small огороженных area, look like roundups for live-stock. I have asked beside Hallafa about purpose this wall. But instead of answer he began to speak that visitted in Damascus, Konstantinopole and Cairo and that beside it much friends from number seen people Egypt. "Know you anyone from здешних англичан?" -- shown an interest Hallaf. He obviously shown the curiosity to me and to my intentions. Tried to tangle me egyptian expressions. When I have answered him on idiom Aleppo, he has spoken of its acquaintance with seen сирийцами. I their too knew; he has translated the talk on local politician, finely and often wrong assigning careful questions about sheriff and his(its) сыновьях and about that that I think about intentions Feysala. I understood in this worse it and answered noncommittal.
Tafas came me on help and has changed the subjects of the talk.
Subsequently I have heard that Hallaf was on contents beside turk and systematically sweets to him доносы about condition of arabic power after Bir ибн Hasana.
The having Left wall behind, we left to influx Vadi Safra, in more extensive каменистую valley, framed hill. She
moved over to the other valley, where far westward grew the grove dark palm tree; the arabs have said that this Dzhedida, one of деревень slave in Vadi Safre. We have turned to the right, through the other depression, and, проехав several miles, came down with hills to salient of the high s. We have detoured him(it) and unexpectedly turned out to be in Vadi Safre, in that most valley, which searched for, and in the centre the most large from her(its) деревень Vaste, appeared before us in the manner of multiple groups of the houses, clung for declivities of the hills on both parties of the riverbed yard or been situated on isle, formed rubble between multiple channel.
Проехав between two or three bulk isles, we got before distant extremity of the valley. Beside lay the riverbed a main flow of winter water, turned white utter слоем the pebbles and absolutely flat large stone. Below his(its) mediums all space between palm grove on both coast occupied the most net water, VWXbe drafty which was seen sandy bottom. Water spread lengthwise yard on two hundred, in width on twelve feets and was framed beside each coast десятифутовой by lawn, поросшей by thick herb and colour.
On such lawn we not for long stopped to give the camel досыта drink once fill. The Appearance before our eye of the herb after integer of the day of the unbearable sparkle of the pebble was such unexpected that I instinctively have watched upwards, having thought that did not disturb check, has not closed sun by cloud.
We rose upstream flow to garden, whence he, scintillate, rushed in recoated stone channel, but have then turned along clay railing under canopy of the palms and moved to the other village. We moved for Tafasom on narrow small street (the building here were such low that we from our turned gray watched from top to bottom on their clay roofs). He stopped beside one of the houses by little more amount and has knocked on gates. The Slave has opened, and we were ordered to dismount in solitude некрытого courtyard. Tafas has fastened the camel, has weakened the saddle-girths and threw before them armload green stern from smelled sweet beside winch of the haycock. Then he has conducted me in guest room small built from clay кирпичей of the building, with roof from the ground, beaten down over обрешетки from palm жердей. We уселись on low podium, covered by mat from palm sheet. The Day in this stuffy valley turned out to be very hot, and we were soon toppled beside on mat.
ZHuzhzhanie bees in garden for wall of the building and flies, cloud whirlled on our closed by net by persons, has lulled us, and we fell asleep.
CHAPTER 12
While we have rescued, хозяева have prepared for us bread and dates.
The Dates were fresh, strangely sweet and pleasing, not similar nor on that from that that me was earlier brought try. The Master of the building, харб, and his(its) neighbours were absent, since were on service beside Fesayla, but wife and children of the vein in tent in mountain, looking after camel. As a rule, arabs племен Vadi Safra veins in their own village whole five months at year. For rest time they препоручали their own gardens a slave -- negro, like that two pairs that carried us on tray meal. Their massive legs and well-fed shining torsoes absolutely did not harmonize with look like birds arab. Hallaf has explained me that these african else детьми their самозваные father from tribe такрури вывозили for selling in Mecca during pilgrimage. They grew, rallied power, and then their price got to fifty or even eighty pounds for head, depending on result of the minute examination. Some of they became the servant in house or valet their own хозяев, but majority african sent in palm villages of the malarial valleys, where always текла water and climate did not suit for physical labour arab, -- but african there prospered, built itself solid buildings, married the woman-невольницах and executed all housework.
The Slaves were more multiple -- for instance, in Vadi Safre stood the рядком thirteen невольничьих деревень. They
formed the special community and most of the vein in its pleasure. Work beside them was heavy, but control weak, and slave not difficult was run. Their legal position was sleazy: on they did not spread neither justice of the tribe, nor jurisdiction шерифских court, but public opinion and the personal interest convicted any cruelty to him, but догмат faiths, stating that liberation of the slave there is virtuous action, in practice meant that finally nearly all slaves got the liberty. The most bright accumulated the pocket money, got for time of the service. Beside such were an own homesteads, in than I had a possibility to make sure personally, and they considered itself lucky. They grew to melons, chestnuts, cucumber, grape and tobacco for own consumption, to say nothing of date, which excess sent on одномачтовых sailfish in Sudan, where changed them on corn, cloth, on african and european subjects luxury.
When noonday heat has rescued, we once again уселись on camel and have gone along transparent, slowly rolled their own water речушки while she did not disappear in palm garden for low wall of the railing from burnt on sun of the clay.
Inwardly and outside this railings between root tree were VWVdig through small gouges by depth in two or three feets so water, fallen into them from recoated stone of the channel, approached to each tree alternately. The Source was a property of the commune, and owners area used water in determined time of the day or weeks, according to formed to traditions. Water was a little brackish, as was needed for the best type of the palms, but it is enough fresh pit in quotient of the palm groves. Such pit was plenty of, and water in they stood at a rate of three or four feets from surface of the ground.
Our way lay through central village, on trade street. The Commissaries stood nearly empty, and the whole village caused the sensation of the full decay. At lifes of the previous generation Vasta was populous (spoke of a thousand of houses), but once upon a time through Vadi Safru was rolled huge wall of water, dams around many palm garden were torn, and palms have carried away water. Some of the isle, on which age stood the building, have left under water, but глинобитные wall changed in fluid clay, in which sank;sunk or perished under rubble wretch slaves. The People could here return, tree grow newly if flows of water have not washed off ground, which for making здешних garden крестьяне won back beside usual high water year heavy labour. But water flow depth eight feets, three days in a row мчавшийся on valley, has returned the cultivated area in their former condition каменистых coast.
We left to Harme, tiny village with богатыми palm grove, located a little above Vasty in that place, where in river sank;sunk the influx, бравший begin on north sometime. For Harmoy valley several enlarged, at the average, can be, before четырехсот yard, and was covered utter, выглаженным winter rain слоем the pebbles and sand. Around высились nacked red and black s, whose гребни were quip, as blades of the knifes, and reflected the sunshine, as polished metal.
In their encirclement freshness verdure and herbs seemed luxurious.
We started to get the groups a soldier Feysala and пасшиеся herds their riding camel. Else on approach to Harme we have noticed that each secluded cozy corner in cleft of the s, each рощица served the bivouac for soldier. They are a glad shout met Tafasa, but that, brightenned, waved the hand, answerring salutatory gestures, and in turn something yelled, obviously hurrying be through with their own duty in respect of me.
Harma was opened взорам left of us. The Village, in which was beside one hundred houses, drowned in garden in encirclement of the earth embankments by height feet in twelve. We переправились вброд
through неширокую stream and on огороженной with both parties wall to track between tree started to rise to гребню one of such embankments, where have forced their own camel be lowered on lap and were ordered to dismount beside winch of the long low building. Tafas has said several words slave, stood with саблей there, silver hilt which brightly shone on sun.
He has conducted me in internal courtyard, at heart which I have seen on background of the black door opening tense in expectation of, as spring, turn white figure. At a glance I have understood that передо me that person, for the sake of meeting with which I have arrived in Arabia, chieftain, which will bring arabic rebellion to full and glorious victory. Feysal was very high growing, graceful and reminded the graceful pillar in its long white silk raiment, with brown charge on head, joined sparkled ало-gold(en) cord. His(its) ages were полуопущены, but blackenning beard and pale person as if grabbed attention from taciturn, vigilant настороженности whole his(its) essence. He stood, crossbreed hands on рукояти dagger.
I greeted Feysala. He has missed me before itself in room and was lowered on постеленный not far from door rug.
Having Got accustomed to reigned in small room mirk, I have seen the ensemble of the taciturn figures, intently глядевших on me and on Feysala. That as before watched from beneath полуопущенных age on their own hands, slowly stroked from time to time dagger. Finally he has quietly asked, as I carry road. I have bemoaned on fervour, he, having asked, when I have drived out of Rabega, has noticed that for this time of the year I доехал enough quickly.
-- As you like beside us in Vadi Safre?
-- Likes, but too uzh far from Damascus.
These word were crushed as sabre on been present, and on their head as if прошелестел weak thrill. When Feysal sowed;sown, all замерли and затаили breathing on debt minute silences. Possible, somebody of them thought about prospect of the distant victory, other -- about недавнем defeat. Finally Feysal has raised the eye, smiled me and has ed:
-- Glory Allah, turk closer to us, than to Damasku. -- All smiled together with him, but then I rose and apologized for its awkwardness.
CHAPTER 13
On soft small meadow under high code of the palms with ребристыми, overlayed each other branch I have found the clean-cut camp a soldier to egyptian army under command of the major-египтяница Nafi-бея, recently sent from Sudan сэром Redzhinalidom Uingeytom in help to rebellion. Here, there were mountain artillery battery and several machine guns, and soldiers looked more battleworthy, than felt itself on deal. As to most Nafi, this was a glorious lad, good and hospitable, in spite of failing health and on discontent that that his(its) have sent in such distance, in desert, on some nobody not necessary gruelling war.
Egiptyane, got accustomed to comfort homebodies, always perceived the breach their own habit as misery. In given event they carried the difficulties for the sake of некоей of the philanthropic purpose, and this added him hardness. They foughted with turk, to which pertained with the known share of sentimentality, on party arab, alien him folk though and spoken on language, related their own, but absolutely not похожегЬ on them nature and жившего by more primitiv life. The Arabs were are sooner adjusted hostile to good of the civilizations, than ready their acknowledge. They met the rough shout well-intensioned attempts to relieve their poverty.
Anglichane were at least run away that their own absolute superiority will promote in rendering help, not causing overweening discontent, but египтяне have lost the faith. Beside them was not neither collective consciousness of the debt to its state, nor personal devotion idea to persist the борющееся mankind on way true. Edigying полицейщина, main power, which англичане got accustomed to handle in relations with stubbon person, in this instance did not operate and instinctive was changed insofar possible distant and careful roundabout by influences. Therefore though these soldiers had in достатке of meal, were sound and did not be subjected to no accident, they seemed that all go from hands halitosis bad, and they hoped that unexpectedly appeared englishman will direct here order.
Feysalu have reported on arrival Mavlyuda el-Muhlisa, adherent of the arabic deal from Tikrita, which for militant nationism twice lowered in rank in turkish army and which has conducted two years in exile as secretary Ibn Rashida in Nedzhde. He commanded the turkish cavalry under SHeyboy, where and was will take in captivity. Hardly having heard about uprising the sheriff, he has of own accord verged to him, having become by first officer to regular army, joined to Feysalu. Now Mavlyud was his(its) adjutant.
He only bemoaned the people on foul ensuring. This was a main by reason of the created position. They got from sheriff thirty thousand pounds at month, but little flour and rice, little barley, rifles, it is not enough amunition, beside them was not neither machine gun, nor mountain artillery, they were deprived technical help and information.
On this I have stopped Mavlyuda and has declared that profit for study of their need specially and report about this, but shall be able to work with them only in that event if me is explained real position. Feysal with me agreed and was taken state the history of the rebellion from the very beginning.
The First approach lost deal turned out to be on Medinu.
The Arabs were bad armed, and beside they came short amunition, turk were in всеоружии since troop Fahri right before profit, but troops, intended for эскортирования background Stotcingena in Yemen, still remained in city. At moment of the culminations of the crisis Beni Ali has broken the word, and arabs turned out to be to be thrown away for wall of the city whereupon turk has opened on him artillery fire. Not got accustomed to new weapon arabs powerfully was frightened. Ageyly and атейбы took cover in safe place and refused from it to leave. Feysal with Ali ибн el-Huseynom openly travelled between people, vain trying prove him that breakups projectile not so истребительны, as can be shown. Demoralizaciya increased.
The Subdivisions soldier from tribe бени али addressed to turkish command with offer about delivery if their villages will are preserved. Fahri has defrauded them and, having guaranteed cessation of the hostilities, has surrounded the suburban village Avili troops, but then has suddenly returned the order to take his(its) assault and slice all alive in his(its) wall. A Hundreds of the inhabitants were enthralled and ruthlessly kill, building are incinerated, but спасшихся and dead threw back in fire. Fahri and his(its) people learned;learnt else on north on армянах art to kill -- and slowly, and quickly.
The Terror is from turkish manner to conduct the war потряс whole Arabia.
The First commandment arab was inadmissibility of the violence on woman, the second -- conservation to lifes and honor детей, too young to fought together with man, the third stated that property, which impossible вывезти, must be left wrunged. The Arabs Feysala came out of fight with enemy to gain time for rearrangement. About delivery anymore could be and speech: авалийская carnage has revived the custom of the revenge for пролитую blood and debt to fought before the last, but now became clear that there is long campaign and that with gun, charged with blew, -- single weapon, which they disposed, -- hardly possible reckon for victory.
They have retreated with плоскогорий, surrounded Medinu, in hills for Sultanskoy expensive, to Are, Rahe and Bir Abbasu, where little have taken a short rest(die); Feysal sent one for other their own people in Rabeg, shown by their sea basis to realize, when possible reckon for reception of provisions and money.
The Arabs have begun rebellion blindfold, on order its spiritual father, old person, too independent to completely entrust to sons, and without some agreement about continuation action.
But in answer was sent only little provisions.
The Truth, later came the japanese rifles, most faulty. The Stems else integer of the rifles turned out to be the so downtrodden dirt that in hand impatient arab they tore under the first shot. The Money have not sent completely. To somehow come out of position, Feysal has filled the enormous box a stone, has hung on it lock, has carefully tied around the rope and велел its own slave to protect him(it) under each days transition and bring to him in tent on night. Resorting to such theatrical effect, brother tried to support the combat spirit.
Finally in Rabeg left itself Ali to realize the reasons of the slip-ups. He has found that Huseyn Mabeyrig, local ruler, вбил to itself in head that turk will win, and has considered for good to follow this idea. When британцы has unloaded provisions for sheriff, Huseyn has assigned him(it) and secretly переправил in several belonged to him houses. Ali was able this prove and has sent several urgent telegrams in Dzhiddu, its consanguineous brother Zeydu, with requirement be connected with him and bring the reinforcement. Huseyn in awe escaped in hill and was declared outside of law. The Brother has posessed his(its) village. They have found there large syllables of the weapon and provisions, which has was enough their armies for month. The Temptation turned out to be too great, and they asses in Rabege.
Feysal remained in solitude and has soon felt itself in insulation, in патовой of the situations, compelled to rest in local facility only. A Certain time he by a narrow margin reduced the end with the end. At August, having used by visit of the colonel Uilsona in anew won back YAnbo, Feysal was to him and comprehensive has stated their own need. He itself and his(its) speech has produced an impression on Uilsona, then and there promised him battery mountain орудий and several machine guns "max", which follow to arm the officer and soldier of the garrison to egyptian army in Sudan. This and was explained presence Nafi-бея and his(its) join.
The Arabs were pleased and have solved that now they сравнялись on power with turk. But all four mountain instruments were an крупповскими gun двадцатилетней давности and beat whole in three thousand yard, but their payments did not get ready to conduct of the fire during irregular action. However arabs will go in approach by big crowd and literally задавили turkish outposts, but then and subdivisions of support. Then Fahri finally seriously встревожился, personally was on firing line, проинспектировал front and has then and there intensified подвергшийся the threat a troop in Bir Abbase approximately before three thousand soldier. Beside turk were a field instruments, as well as howitzers; the additional advantage was that they were situated on высотке:
this provided the good observation for enemy. They started to disturb the arab methodical неприцельным by fire;
one projectile hardly has not pleased in tent Feysala, where in this moment were going to all военачальники on counsel. The Egyptian artilleryman has asked to renew the fire and wipe with person of the ground вражеские instruments. Alas, their weapon was uselessly since projectiles on nine thousand feet did not fly. Their осмеяли, and arabs were rolled away back in gorges.
Feysal was deeply disheartened. His(its) people has tired. Many he has lost. The Single efficient tactics in fight with enemy were a sudden raids to cavalries on rears of the enemy, but much camels were already murdered or is wounded, other were exhausted before the last degree these dearly dispensed operation. He was indignant that whole war has hung to his(its) neck while Abdulla coolled off in Mecca, but Ali with Zeydom in Rabege. Finally he has conducted the main mass of their own troopses, having left живших in Bir Abbase people one of the sort tribe харб for constant roadstead on turkish caravans of the provision and communications, what he itself was unable to provide.
And all he did not be afraid the new sudden hold up a turk.
The Collapse not вселил in Feysala nor the most slightest respect to enemy. His(its) last departure to Hamre was not compelled:
that was a gesture discontent. He has bored own obvious weekness, and he has solved with value уйти on short rest.
Finally nor one party as well as not to manage in the largest accounts to feel another. The Arms turk provided him such superiority in range of the fire on defeat, which for arab remained beyond reach.
So majority of the hand-to-hand fights occurred on night, when artillery horsefly. Before my ушей доносились the sounds strangely primitiv clash, with flow of the words with both parties, sort of competition in biting wittiness, anticipated fight. After changing the most dirty from the known him insults approached the culmination, when turk frantically yelled the arab "англичане!", but that called their "german". Of course, no german in Hidzhaze was not, but the first and single englishman was I, but each party much loved to shower other curse, and any galling epithet with readiness came off with languages of the enemy.
I have asked Feysala about his(its) present plan. He has answered that before fall Mediny they will inevitably are bound here, in Hidzhaze, compelled to dance under fife Fahri. On his(its) opinion, the turk taked aim on that to return itself Mecca.
The Base of their power now are a mobile pillars, which they can двинуть on Rabeg on miscellaneous road that keeps the arab in constant alert. The Passive defence of the mountains Subha has shown that arabs not too brilliant protectors. However when enemy comes to motion, their by a narrow margin happens to to restrain.
Feysal was intending to leave further out, to Vadi YAnbo, border of the tribe джухейна. With taken there become cool militia he intended маршем pass on orient, to Hidzhazskoy railway for Medinoy, but Abdulla in this time through лавовую desert has attacked Medinu with orient. He hoped on that Ali simultaneously emerges from Rabega, but Zeyd will enter in Vadi Safru to large turkish power in Bir Abbase and take his(its) hand-to-hand assault. Thereafter, the plan Medine threatened approach with all parties simultaneously.
As nor was a result, act of concentration of arabic power with three parties to say the least has spoiled prepared turk approach with the fourth and has provided Rabegu and north Hidzhazu respite for preparing to efficient defence, but that and to counteroffensive.
Mavlyud, worrisome rotated during our long, unhurried talk, finally has not born and воскликнул: "Enough enter our history. It is Necessary to fought, fought with them and kill them. Give me battery mountain орудий SHnaydera and machine guns, then I am through with all this and without you. We only speak, speak and nothing do not do". I have objected him not more emotional, and Mavlyud, splendid warrior, considered battle lost if he can not demonstrate own is reeked in witness its direct participation in fighting, has taken my call. While we with he wrangled, Feysal looked at us with approving grin.
This talk was for Mavlyuda the present holiday. His(its) inspired even such trifle, as fact of my arrival: he was a person of the mood, varying between triumph and despair. Looked he much senior its thirty one years. His(its) ripe blood dark, обаятельные of the eye a little mowned, but впалые of the cheek were изрезаны deep морщинками. His(its) nature opposed to cogitation since it restrained стремительность action. Work to thoughts joined the line of his(its) person, transforming them in mirror exercised to pains. He was высок, is built and strong, gait his(its) was on rarity грациозна, but u-turn shoulder and proudly raising head added him straight-таки royal bearing. He, of course, this knew and so willingly addressed to pose and gesture.
Motion his(its) were rash. He did not hide its
vehemence and sensuality, occasionly even shown the imprudence and quickly came off. The Beautiful appetite and constant malaises matched beside it with spontaneous manifestations of bravery. The Personal charm, audacity, proud nature did Mavlyuda idol for his(its) comrade in arms. Nobody never was assigned by question about his(its) honesties, but subsequently he has shown that capable to answer the confidence on confidence, suspicion on suspicion.
Education and education in encirclement Abdelya Hamida has done his(its) unexcelled diplomat. The Military service beside turk has enriched the practical cognitions in the field of tacticians. The Life in Konstantinopole and stay in turkish parliament have done his(its) connoisseur of the european problems and manners. He was a circumspect arbitrator in dispute of the people of its encirclement.
Be beside it it is enough power for realization of their own daydreamings, Mavlyud will go much far since there was всецело is dedicated its deal and veins only for it, but was afraid that подорвет its health in shoulder strap for high truth or simply умрет from fatigue. His(its) people told me, as in the course of long battle once upon a time, in which he happened to to fight for its life, conduct the soldier in attack, manage them and inspire, he so has weakened physically that him(it), not having given насладиться the consciousness of the victory, have stood from boa without feeling, with spume on lip.
Meantime, similars, beside us were found харизматик, capable if his(its) present duly, add the convincing form an idea, leaving for frames of the arabic rebellion. Exactly he was all that, on that we hoped, and even much big, than that deserved our hasty actions. The Purpose of my journey was reached.
Now I must was with these news by the most short way to get before Egypt; understanding received in that evening in palm grove, bloomed in my consciousness, growing thousand of branches, burdened fruit and shady foliage, like that, under which I sat, listenning вполуха, encircled visions in thickened twilight. Finally on meandered between stem of the palms lane to we came down the вереница a slave with lamp, and we with Feysalom and Mavlyudom returned through gardens back in small house, which courtyard was as before packed expected, fell into stuffy room, where were going to already familiar people, уселись together around caldron with rice and meat, smoked on spread out servant to white tablecloth, and have proceed with supper.
CHAPTER 14
The Company was so motley -- sheriffs, representatives of the Mecca, sheiks multiple племен (джухейны and атейбы, месопотамцы, агейлы), -- that I have solved to toss him apple of discord, подстрекательски touching in talk злободневные, agitating subject to reveal their temperament and positions, not postponing in long box. Feysal, выкуривший one cigarette for another, even at the most sharp moments successfully managed the talk, and I with pleasure watched, as he this does. He in a masterful fashion avoided tactlessness, possessing some person by ability to subordinate the feeling a collocutor to its will. So находчив was and Storrs, but Storrs boasted its значительностью, exposing on display resourcefulness and experience, but his(its) graceful hands herewith simply danced midair.
Feysal, seemed, controlled their own people непроизвольно:
there was it is difficult to understand, as he obtruded him its opinion, and in the same way it is difficult to keep an eye on for that, really they obeyed him. In this art Feysal did not transfer Storrsu, however, so skilfully his(its) hiding, was as if given birth for this.
The Arabs frankly loved Feysala. Really, such casual conversations shown, insofar heroic personality were in presentation племен sheriff and his(its) sons.
The Sheriff Huseyn (Seyidna, as his(its) named) with type was so virtuous and meek that could be shown weak, but under his(its) external softness lay beneath the surface the hard hand, enormous vanity, some nowhere near неарабская дальновидность, power of the nature and stubborness. The Interest to natural history intensified his(its) hunting instinct, making his(its) (when he this wanted) faithfull copy some бедуинского of the prince, but mother-черкешенка has provided with his(its) quality, not characteristic neither turk, nor arab, and he выказывал greater dexterity, using that that, that others from inherited from it devil, extracting thereof determined advantage.
And all school turkish politicians was so is imbrued by treachery that even best could not her(its) окончить, not having yielded to irritate. In adolescence Huseyn was honored, sincere, but now learned;learnt not simply to keep a check on their own word, but also use them for hiding even wholly добропорядочных integer. This art, which Huseyn abused, became the vice, from which he already could not dispose. The ambiguity was penetrated In old age each his(its) letter. Like gloomy cloud, she has paralysed decisiveness of his(its) nature, his(its) worldly wisdom and merry vitality. Many this denies, but history gives hard proof.
The Example his(its) worldly wisdom was an unbringing the sons.
The Sultan has adjured him to live in Konstantinopole that they have got turkish formation. Huseyn knew that this formation was general and good. When they returned in Hidzhaz young эфенди, in european cloth and with turkish manner, father has ordered him to change in arabic gown, but that they have refreshed the knowledge of the arabic language, отрядил to him two fcompanion(satellite)s -- inhabitants of the Mecca, and has sent in desert with body of the cavalries to patrol the roads, on which went the pilgrims.
The Young people exuded was that this will be a pleasurable walk, but were devastated, having heard that father has forbidden him there is delicacies, sleep on матрацах and use the saddle with soft pillow. He has not allowed him to return in Mecca, leaving for much months, in miscellaneous time year, daytime and in the night patrol the roads, where they happened to to deal with most miscellaneous by people. They were to study the modern ways of the dressage camel and tactician combat operation. They were quickly toughened, learned;learnt to rely only upon itself, combining innate wit and decisiveness, which so often come to contradiction between itself. Their household group was awesome, active power and caused the delight, but why-that remained strange to be insulated in its world.
They were not a local native, their did not interest the ground.
Beside them was not neither faithfull friends, nor on-persisting dedicated servants, and seemed, none of them was not искренен with others or with father, before which they felt благоговейный awe.
Debaty after supper were more tempestuous. I felt the full empathy to arabic leader, executed in Damascus Dzhemali-pasha. Their fate powerfully I have brushed against: from published document was seen that these people were connected with foreign government and ready to take french or english sovereignty if him will was rendered aid. This was a crimes against arabic nationism, and Dzhemalyu remained only to perform the inevitable condemnation. Feysal smiled, by chance подмигнув me. "See, -- has explained he, -- we now are perforce connected with британцами. We are pleased to be him friends grateful for help in hope on future advantage.
But we are not shown british подданными. We were easier, do not be they such powerful ally".
I have told about talk with Abdulloy el-Rashidom on way in Hamru. He scolded the british sailor, daily descended on coast in Rabege. "Soon they will become to remain in city night, but there, глядишь, are settled for ever and will seize the country". To his(its) console, I have told about a million англичан, живших in France, and about that that frenchman this not scarecrow. He is a contemptuous глянул on me and has asked, do not be going to I compare the Francium with Hidzhazom.
Feysal was not for long conceived and has said: "I not хиджазец on education, but, glory Allah, I he does not envy. And though I know that англичане this wants that I can say if they have seized Sudan too inadvertently? They зарятся on ravaged
the countries to their restore, and Arabia at one beautiful day too can seem him luscious piece. The Good for you and for me, possible, miscellaneous belongings, but any good, obtruded by power, will force folk to yell from pain. Realy ore can adore converting her(its) fire? Here no ground for insult, but weak folk beats in tocsin, оберегая that small that he belongs to. Our race will remain short-tempered until will feel that firmly cost(stand)s up and about".
Irritated, немытые people from племен, which right before ated for one table with us, struck me its ordinary understanding deeply политизированных national feeling, некоей to abstract idea, which they hardly could adopt in school хиджазских city, is either as in indian, яванских, бухарских, суданских, turkish, in take-off from liking to arabic ideal. The Sheriff Huseyn possessed the sufficient worldly wisdom to found its perception on instinctive faith arab in that they are a salt of the earth and herewith самодостаточны. But if soon so then in alliance with us, which will allow him to support its doctrine by power of the weapon and money, success Huseynu is provided.
Of course, this success was not everywhere одинаков.
The Majority sheriff, eight or nine сотен, understood his(its) nationalistic doctrine and were shown his(its) missionary, besides missionary succeeding, due to his(its) honoured origin from prophet that gave him right властвовать on wit of the people and direct their way to wanted to obedience. The Tribes followed the spirit his(its) race fanaticism. The City could sigh on accustomed passivity of the turkish rule: tribes were run away that obtained the liberties and arabic government and that each bedouin -- cordon bleu. They were independent and could enjoy its independence, however these convictiom and determination could bring about anarchies if not powerful household tie, as well as caused by them liability. But this was fraught negation central authorities. The Sheriff could use the legal sovereignty abroad if he liked this brilliant rattle; home deal were defined custom, having power of the law. The Problem foreign theorist -- rules Hidzhazom Damascus or Hidzhaz can rule Damascus? -- arab absolutely did not occupy since not him her(its) was solve. The Semitic idea to national independence was reduced to independence clan and деревень, but their ideal of the national alliance was a joint rebuff вторгшемуся enemy. The Constructive policy organized state, extensive empire not as much remained outside of field of their vision as were him simply hateful. They foughted for that to get rid of empires, rather then to her(its) win.
The Feeling сирийцев and месопотамцев, served in arabic army, carried the noncommittal nature. They believed that, foughting in rows of the local join, even here, in Hidzhaze, defend the total right an arab on national self-determination; and, not putting before itself purposes of the creation united state or even conferences state, were definitely orientated on north, wanting infuse autonomous Damascus and Baghdad in arabic family. They had little material resources, and this has not changed even possible success since their world was agricultural, shepherd's, without углей and ore, and never was able create itself modern arms to grow stronger. Otherwise we happened to be conceived, previously than agitate in strategic core of the NEAR EAST new, so powerful national motion.
From religious fanaticism remained little. The Sheriff gave a flash denial add the religious tumbling to its rebellion. His(its) military credo was a nationism. Plemenam was known that turk мусульмане, and they thought that german, probably, were a sincere friends turk. They knew and that german христиане, but британцы -- allies arab. In these
the circumstance religion only tangled the deal, and her(its) have moved aside aside. "If христиане wage war with христианами, that why us, магометанам, not to concern with the same?
What we want, so this authorities, which spoke on the total with us language and has provided us peace life. But besides, we hate these turk".
CHAPTER 15
On the following morning I rose early and in solitude was joined to soldier Feysala, moving aside Keyfa to try to catch the pulse of their opinions on malice of the day, causing them on talk by means of tricks, used on the eve at night during conversation with their chief. Time was a main by factor, definied my efforts since the whole for ten days was necessary to create the certain impression about situations that in usual circumstance has required long week of the observation, when to each phenomena advance wrong, as it were sideways, like crab. I went whole day, heeding to the whole that within audibility, but not catching details and getting only total impression -- "red, white or gray". Today my eye must were be stright connected to brain to select one or two phenomenas more clearly, on contrast with former приблизительностью. This nearly always was a physical forms:
the s and tree, bodies of the people at rest or astir, but not such VWVsplit hairs, as, shall say, flowerses.
But here was felt quiping need in capable watcher. In this monotonous war any breach routines was a joy for all, but the most strong principle Makmagona was an usage of the hidden imagination of the General staff.
I believed in arabic motion and else before arrival was here run away that in he вызревает the idea of division Turcii on piece, but beside others in Egypt such faiths was not, and nothing intelligent arab about action on field swearing was not spoken.
Generalising some impressions about spirit these romantic amongst hills, surrounded holy city, I could conquer the likings of the Cairo and, having used this, promote the question about the further measure help.
The Soldiers have taken me радушно. They stopped under each large or bush, reposing from fervours and refreshing their own brown limbs matutinal coolness, dug stone in shade of the coverture. Glyadya on my form of the colour khaki, they have taken me for дезертировавшего to him from turk of the officer and mellow built it is enough scaring suggestions about that, as they with me enter. The Majority of them were young though word "warrior" pertained in Hidzhaze to man at age between twelve and шестьюдесятью year, it is enough смышленому to learn to shoot. The Soldiers shown itself crowd strong with type of the dark-skinned mans, including negro. They were thin, but exceedingly graceful, and stake out their fluent motion was one pleasure.
Impossible, there was represent that sometime possible to meet more strong and more harebrained people. They got ready move in saddle day for daytime on huge distances, run on overheated song or on beaten stone barefoot, on fervour, not feelling pains, and clamber on скалистым declivity like nanny goat. They carried the free shirts, with short cotton wool trousers sometimes, and main kerchief, from fabrics of the red colour usually, served, as the case may be, and towel, and nose charge, and bag.
They were обвешаны cartridge belt and, when introduced the possibility, singed in air for amusement simply.
They Are Adjusted they were very militant, yelled that war can last ten years. In mountain did not know the more productive year. The Sheriff helm not only foughted mans, but also their families and paid on two pounds at month each бойцу; on four pounds paid for camel. No other way not to manage create this prodigy -- keep five months in full combat readiness move to the left army, equipped member different племен. Beside us fell into
the habit to make fun of on love east soldier to money, but хиджазская campaign was a good example to shortsightedness of such approach. The Turk gave the large bribes to be dispensed from active service, and concerned with subsidiary work. The Arabs took beside them money in exchange for sedatives of the notarizing, and in ditto time these most tribes were connected with Feysalom, paid by him money for facilities.
The Turk cut its captive a throat knife as if rammed on slaughterhouse sheep. Feysal gave on pound for foamy, and many transferred him in wholenesses and safety. He paid as well as for enthralled mule, and for rifles.
The Actual personal composition to armies was found able constant ротации on principle of the blood communications. One family could belong to one rifle, and sons to this families were shown in formation alternately, for several days each.
ZHenatye soldiers plied between military camp and семьей, but occasionly whole clan could feel itself tired and left on rest. Thereby, the number soldier, got salary, exceed the number found at each moment under handgun, besides, from political considerations Feysalu happened to regularly to pay the money large sheik for friendly support. Desyatuyu part восьмитысячной to armies Feysala formed the cavalrymen "верблюжьего of the body", rest soldiers were from mountain region. They served, подчиняясь only sheik their own племен, and only thereabouts to house, themselves providing itself provisions and transport. Nominal for each sheik stood the hundred a soldier. The Sheriffs, whose privileged position put their above ambition envy племенных sheik, acted as group leaders.
It Was Considered that all manifestations of blood feud are rooted out, actually on territory, found under jurisdiction of the sheriff, they were simply remitted: ticket and джухейны, атейбы and агейлы in armies Feysala veins and foughted side by side. But herewith they pertained to one another watchful, yes and amongst соплеменников not a single did not entrust completely neighbour. Each separately could frankly hate the turk -- usually so and was, -- but, can be, not so to not to take the opportunity reduce the abacus with кровником in the course of boa. Thereby, approach on enemy with full return they could not. One company turk, well dug on open terrain, could smash the safe army such soldier, but one pitched battle -- place the terrible end to war.
I came to conclusion that soldiers, called from племQн, good only in the defence. Inherent him стяжательский zeal did their amenable to mining, spurred to blast the railroad tracks, rob the caravans and thieve the camel, but they were too independent to comply with to orders or fought in composition of the combat subdivision. The Soldier, capable fine to fought only alone, as a rule, bad soldier, and like hero seemed me unbeseeming material for выучки by methods of our drilling, however if we have supplied their manual machine gun Liyuisa and have given to themselves, they were wholly capable to hold their own hills and play the role of the reliable shield, for which we could create, for instance in Rabege, regular mobile arabic army fit for equal to withstand the turk (already weakened guerrilla action) and split them on a parts. For this regular army did not take recruit from Hidzhaza. Her(its) should form from slow and with type not at all militant inhabitants syrian and месопотамских city, which already were in our hand, and complete the officer-arab, passed education in turkish army;
the people of the type and biographies Aziza el-Masri and Mavlyuda. They finally have terminated war striking operation at support flying troop from племен, which constrained and distracted the turk their own roadstead, like to pinpricks.
In that moment Hidzhazskaya campaign could be not more, than war of crowd дервишей with regular troops. Here went the fight to deserts and скалистых mountains (the escalated wild horde highlander) with armed before teeth german by enemy, somewhat forfeited because of this vigilance, necessary at conduct of the war in term непредсказуемости action of the enemy. The Belt of the hills was a put grow for sharpshooter, but uzh in aiming-that shooting arabs were an unexcelled master. Two-three hundred brave soldier could hold any area to mountainous terrain, since declivities предгорий were too turn;curl for assault by means of stairways even.
The Valleys with their single passable road on length of the many miles were not as much valley in прямом sense word as deep cleft or gorge, occasionly before two hundred yards in diameter, but sometimes whole in twenty yards, yes additionally teemed the изгибами and tumbling. In depth they reached four thousand feet and did not give the covertures, being encircled array of the granite, basalt and porphyry, -- not smooths, as possible was expect, but bound heap debris, hard, as metal, and nearly such sharp.
I, unaccustomed to such terrain, seemed incredible that turk dared to go on breakout, realy that by means of traitors from number highlander. But even and then such затея was very dangerous. The Enemy could not be certain that unreliable population not to return back, but have like labyrinth ущелий in rear was much worse, than ahead of. Not having friendly communications with племенами, turk владели only that ground, on which stood their soldiers, but протяженные and complex communications for fortnight поглотили thousand of the people, as a result on leading position their in general did not remain.
The Single ground for alert was wholly real success turk in запугивании arab by artillery fire. Aziz el-Masri faced such awe during turkish-italian war in Tripoli, but has quickly understood that he since time passes. We could hope that so will and here, however while sound of the gun shot knocked down all soldier in panic, and they run in covertures. They were certain that destructive power projectile to proportional loudness of the shot. The Pool they did not be afraid, as, probably, and most deaths, but thought about ruins from breakup of the projectile was for them unbearable. I seemed that this awe can root out only presence own орудий, at least and useless, but aloud shooting. From majestic Feysala before the last tatterdemalion-soldier in his(its) armies beside all on mouth was one word: "artillery".
The Soldiers came to delight, when I have said him that in Rabege выгружены with nave пятидюймовые howitzers. This has nearly redeemed in their consciousness bitterness recollection about недавнем retreat under Vadi Safroy. These instruments could not bring him no real profit. Really, I seemed that arab from them will be a net harm since their value consisted in transportability and cleverness, but having given by him artillery, we have constrained their motion and have limited efficiency an action. But together with that if we not give him орудий, they could scatter.
When I turned out to be in lees event, грандиозность scale of the rebellion has produced on me strong impression. The Whole populous province, from Wit Ledzha before Kunfidy, -- more fortnight of the way horseback on camel -- was suddenly transformed, having changed from traditional way foray gang of the robbers-nomad in epicentre of the blast of the anger against Turcii. The Arabs foughted with her, of course, not our methods, but it is enough fierce, невзирая on religious debt, which, seamingly, was to raise the Orient on holy war against us. We gave the will not amenable no quantitative estimation to wave антитурецкой to hate, incubated by enslaved generations, hate, which could turn out to be very rack. Amongst племен, turned out to be in zone of the hostilities, reigned the certain nervious enthusiasm, how do I seem, characteristic any national rebellion, but strange image тревожащий stranger from country, freed so long ago that national independence introduces him so deprived taste, as simple water, which we пьем.
Later I was newly met with Feysalom and has promised him to do for it all that shall be able. My chiefs organize the basis in YAnbo, where will be delivered by sea intended solely for it goods and amunitions. We try to direct to him officer-volunteer from number военнопленных, enthralled in Mesopotamii and on Channel, but from ordinary, being kept in camp for interned, shall form the gun payments and пулеметные of the command and shall supply their such mountain instrument and manual machine gun, what only possible find in Egypt. Finally, I shall recommend to send here professional officer to british army as adviser and officer communication in combat situation.
This time our conversation was solely pleasing and ended the warm expressions to his(its) thanks, as well as wish of my the most quick return here. I have explained Feysalu that my duties in Cairo do not expect work in field term, but that, possible, my chiefs will later pay me else one like trip, when his(its) current demands will be satisfied and motion will successfully develop. Now I have asked to give me transport before YAnbo, whence I bring back into Egypt to immediately proceed these plan with realization. He has then and there fixed me escort from fourteen джухейнских sheriff, which all were a relative джухейнского emir Muhammeda Ali ибн Beydavi. They were to deliver me in wholenesses and safety to governor YAnbo, sheik Abdeli Kaderu el-Abdo.
CHAPTER 16
Having Left from Hamry, when beginning to grow dark, we двинулись once again along Vadi Safry before Karma on the other coast, where have turned in valley to the right. She complitly заросла prickly shrubbery, through which we by a narrow margin forced with camel, neat belt saddle вьюков to insure them from thorn. Passing thereby two miles, we started to rise on narrow passage Difran, which even in the night gives the belief about that, what works cost the laying here roads. The Passage has justified the artificial way and on both parties have raised the stone walls for protection from flow of water at periods of the rains. The Stone before this sorted and carried across on dam, specially built from large uncouth block, but she was torn powerful flow and now lay in ruins.
Our ascent has formed, probably, beside mile, and steep lowering with back was approximately such. Then we left on tableland and turned out to be on powerfully rough terrain with tangled network вади -- dry river русел, the main from which left to south-west. The Camel here to go was easy. We have проехали in the dark else beside seeds of the miles and stopped beside pit Bir el-Marra, on day of the valley under very low, on top which appeared on background star sky square outlines built from cut stone of the small fort. Possible, both fort, and embankment were возведены some мамелюком for passage his(its) pilgrim caravan from YAnbo.
We have conducted here night, having missed six hours that was simply luxury after such roads though this rest was is twice violated call hardly distinguished groups risen upstairs wayfarer, found our bivouac. Afterwards we long trudged amongst low ridges while at dawn взорам were not opened calm sandy valleys with strange буграми of the lava, surrounded us with all parties. Zdeshnyaya lava had a no type иссиня-black slag, as on sex under Rabegom. She was a colour of the rust and громоздилась the enormous bluff with оплавленной by surface свилеватой structures, as it were наслоенной whose-that strange, but soft hand. Sand,
at first been spread out ковром beside foots of crystalline basalt, gradually coverlet him(it) overhand. The Mountains became all below, and their all more coverlet alluviums quicksand, up to that that his(its) languages got before top paddling, disappearing from field of vision. When sun rose high and became painfilly burning, we left to dune, rolled down long mile on south downhill, to covered by haze sulphur-blue epidemic deathes, loomed on distance, define which because of refraction лучей in trembling overheated air was impossible.
The Dunes were narrow. To half eighth we left on plain, complitly покрытую стекловидным sand mixed with gravel, through which entrenched the заросли of the high shrubbery and bush with thorn пониже. Got and tall acacias. We by leaps and bounds crossed this plain, and I could not not note дискомфорта. I was not an experienced rider, road I exhausted, perspiration streamed on лбу and corroded the eye under cracked from fervours age, right before not squeaked from small gerbil. But the same perspiration was and good, when his(its) chilly dripped the carrions on cheeks with strands hair, truth, this tight-fisted freshness was too little to fight with heat. When sand has retreated before utter pebble, we have gone quicker, but in opened before us ample valley riverbed became else harder, устремляясь bound sleeve seaward.
On measure that as we overcame the next ascent, вдали before us turned round the boundless panorama of the delta Vadi YAnbo the most large from valleys north Hidzhaza. Her(its) coverlet wild заросли tamarisk and prickly shrubbery.
When we have проехали on her several miles, was on the right shown darkenning palm grove Nahli Bumaraka, in shade which were situated the village and gardens Beni Ibragim Dzhuheyny. Vdali before us got up the array Dzhebeli Rudvy, overhanging, seamingly, on most YAnbo though before it was more twenty miles.
We saw him(it) else from Masturaha -- was one of greater and the most beautiful mountains Hidzhaza. His(its) sparkling edge rose from flat Tehamy, finishing powerful гребнем. Under his(its) protection my fcompanion(satellite)s felt itself building. The Plain literally writhed in crick from unbearable ardent heat, we took cover in shade under thick foliage of the acacias, выросшей near by expensive, and awoke only after полудня.
We have given to drink the camel by brackish water from small pit in one of the sleeve of the riverbed, under neat alive изгородью from tamarisk with sheet, look like птичьи feather, but afterwards have successfully проехали else two hours and stopped on night in peculiar to Tehamy absolutely nacked terrain, where waves of sand were quietly rolled through гряды gravel, forming quite intelligent glens.
That испечь bread and вскипятить water for coffee, sheriffs have scattered the campfire from сучьев aromatic tree, but afterwards we sweetly fell asleep, getting drunk freshness of the salty sea breeze, fanned our person. Rose we at two o'clocks morning and have drived their own camel on monotonous plain, as if paved hard gravel and humid sand, to YAnbo, whose wall and towers on coral reef towered before us feet on twenty. I tale straight through gates on paved крошащимся stone empty street (YAnbo was by half dead by city thenceforward, what have opened Hidzhazskuyu railway) to house Abdeli Kadera, representative Feysala, well informed, eager, calm and worthy person, with which we corresponded, when he was a postmaster in Mecca, but in Egypt printed the postage stampses for new state. His(its) right before have translated here.
Beside Abdeli Kadera in his(its) picturesque, but rather disorderly house, which window left on deserted area, whence at one time left in distant way caravans, I have lived four days in expectation of nave that was fraught my delay. However finally on horizon appeared "Suva" under command of the captain Boylya, which and has delivered me back in Dzhiddu. This was my first meeting with Boylem. He has done much at the beginning initially rebellion, and he lay ahead to do else more in the future. But this time me not to manage to create good impression about itself. After journey my cloth looked not best image, and beside me was not no baggage. Worse whole turned out to be that on head I had an arabic main kerchief, which I carried, wanting emphasize its respect to arab. Boyli was disappointed.
Our stubborn adherence to hat (caused by misinterpretations to dangers of the heatstroke) has brought about that that Orient became to add her special importance, and after long cogitations his(its) the most clever heads reached a conclusion that христиане carry the repugnant headdress, which broad fields can turn out to be between their weak eye and unfavoured взором of the Allah. This constantly reminded the islam of that that христианам he does not like and that they his(its) abuse. Britancy found this prejudice worthy reprobations and subject to exterpation at any cost. If this folk does not want to see us in hat, signifies, he does not want us to see in general. But I have gained experience in Syrias before war else and if required carried the arabic cloth, not feelling neither awkwardness, nor social aloofness. And if broad laps could cause the known inconvenience on stairway, that main kerchief was in term здешнего climate exceedingly suitable. So I always carried him(it) in trip in глубь country and now could not part with him, in spite of disapproval on the part of sailor until it will manage to buy the hat on some counter ship.
On roadstead Dzhiddy stood "Evrial" with admiral Uemissom on board, ready to swim away in Port-Sudan if sir Rosslin will want to visit сэра Redzhinalida Uingeyta in Hartume. Sir Redzhinalid as british главнокомандующего egyptian army was nominated by leader of the whole british part of arabic enterprise instead of сэра Henry Makmagona, which continued to manage the political part. I was necessary with he are met to tell about my impressions. So I have asked the admiral to give me place on nave, as well as in train, which he will go to Hartum. After long conversation my request was with readiness satisfied.
I have understood that active wit and broad образованность have forced his(its) show the interest to arabic rebellion from the very beginning.
He returned here not once and not two on its flag-ship to render aid at critical moments, and two groups of ten once was rejected(deviate) from rate to help its authority ashore, which formally was in the capacity of armies. He supplied the arab a rifle and machine gun, spare parts, rendered the technical help, adjusted the interaction of the navy with overland transport, always obtaining real satisfaction request and realizing supply with excess required.
Not show;develop admiral Uemiss goodwill and sagacities and do not be beside it good relations with captain Boylom, due to which that executed his(its) desires, jealousy сэра Archibalida Myurreya could загубить uprising the sheriff from the very beginning.
But sir Rosslin Uemiss acted, as good stepparent while arabs have not got up on legs whereupon has left in London.
Arrived in Egypt Allenbi has understood that arabs are real and weighty factor on ego. front, and has given in their dictation energy and facility to whole armies. This was more appropriate and ingenious whorl to total round-robin; this is because successor of the admiral Uemiss in sea command in Egypt was not perceived in earnest other service though with type they pertained to him not worse, than his(its) own subordinated. Of course, be a successor Uemissa was a hard nut to crack.
In Port-Sudan we have met two british officers to egyptian army, expected sailings in Rabeg. They
left to command the egyptian troops in Hidzhaze and were to do all the best to help Azizu el-Masri to organize arabic regular power, which were to emerge from Rabega to put an end war. This was my first meeting with Dzhoysom and Devenportom, that most two англичанами, which arabic deal was obliged most of all in comparison with other foreign help. Dzhoys long worked near by me. About success Devenporta in the south we constantly heard from донесений.
After Arabia Hartum was shown me cool, and I felt nervous from impatience to acquaint сэра Redzhinalida Uingeyta with long report, written at long days of the waiting in YAnbo. I hurried since situation seemed up-and-coming. The Primary task was квалификационная help. The Campaign could develop very successfully if some regular british officers, professional competent and having arabic language, were assigned to to arabic chieftain as technical adviser to keep us in rate of the deal.
Uingeyt was pleased get acquainted with optimistic standpoint. Arabic rebellion was his(its) daydream long years.
While I was in Hartume, accident has provided with his(its) power to play the main role. The Actions against purpose главнокомандующим Makmagona were successful, and deal ended that that his(its) have called back in England. Instead of it in Egypt was nominated sir Redzhinalid Uingeyt. Thereby, with comfort calling on two or three days in Hartume, rested and having read in hospitable palace "Death Arthur", I went to Cairo with consciousness that that responsible person has got my full report. The Journey on Neil was a the present holiday.
Egypt, as usually, was a headache "рабегского of the question". Have Here entered several aeroplanes, and was discussed question about that, follows send subsequent to them troop crew or no. The Chief to french military mission in Dzhidde colonel Bremon (the colleague Uilsona, but with more large powerses since has in practice studied the native ways of conduct of the war, принесшие success in French Africa, former chief of the staff of the body on Somme) persistently persisted on debarkation of the union troopses in Hidzhaze.
To seduce us, he has delivered in Suec cue-what artillery, several machine guns, as well as small contingents to cavalries and infantries, equipped by rank and files from algerian мусульман, with french officer.
Added british troops, they have consolidated international power.
The False estimation Bremonom gravity of the position in Arabia has produced an impression on сэра Redzhinalida. Uingeyt was a british general, commander so named expeditionary body of power Hidzhaza, in which actually was little officers communication and only горстка снабженцев and instructor.
If Bremon obtained its, he has full-fledged crew mixed british and french troopses, using its loved tactician, combining liability and speed of the decisions. Since my experience of the understanding feeling arab, живших on territory of the tribe харбов, has allowed me to work out the hard opinion on рабегскому to question (the majority my conclusion was really is solidly motivated), I have written the general Clayton, to whose Arabic agency was then is officially assigned to, sharp aide-memoire.
Clayton has taken my standpoint that tribes could defend Rabeg long months if have got the adviser and rifles, but they certainly once again scatter on its tents as soon as hear about debarkation of the foreign troopses.
Moreover, plans to intervention were unreasable with technical standpoint since no crews came short for the defence of this positions, for cessation of the water-supply turk and blocking the road on Mecca. I accused the colonel Bremona in that that he follows their own personal, not military motive, and does not bear in mind neither arabic interests, nor importance of the rebellion for us. I have quoted his(its) word and actions in Hidzhaze as certificate against it.
They have added persuasiveness my report.
Clayton has transferred the aide-memoire сэру Archibalidu Myurreyu, which, having valued her(its) urgency, has quickly transferred her(it) on telegraph in London as proof that that arabic experts, requiring donate his(its) valuable troops, divided in opinions on cause of his(its) wisdoms and probity.
London has required the explanations; atmosphere slowly cleared up though in menee. sharp form рабегский question was delayed for two months else.
My popularity in staff, found in Egypt, due to unexpected help, rendered by me сэру Archibalidu with his(its) prejudice, has gained certain new and rather amusing quality. All become with me underlined courteous and spoke that I acute performer. Specifically emphasized, as it is correct was with their parties to save me for arabic deal at difficult hour. I was caused to главнокомандующему, but on way intercepted his(its) astir assistant and отведен first to chief of the staff, general Lindenu Bellu. In its official alacrity he to such an extent considered itself obliged to support сэра Archibalida in his(its) whim that their both usually perceived as united enemy in two persons. So I was more surprising, when under my appearance he вскочил on legs, has nearly jumped to me and, having caught on to my shoulder, прошипел: "Now you his(its) only do not frighten; do not forget that I have said you!"
Probably, my person has expressed full confusion since single eye of the general looked at me very tender. He has offered me to sit and on-mundane has spoken of Oxford, about that, as amusing were an occupations on the last rate, insofar interesting my report about lifes in rows of the armies Feysala and as he hopes that I return there to continue so aptly commenced by me, mixing these courtesies with remarks about that, in what nervious condition is found commander in-chief, as close takes all to heart, and about that that I must draw him comforting picture occurring, but also not in too rose tone.
I terribly cheered up in shower and has promised to behave well, but has noticed that my problem is provide the additional supplies of the weapon and sending officer, necessary arab, and that for this purpose I must заручиться the interest and if will be necessary, even influence главнокомандующего. On this general Linden Turned white answered that provision -- his(its) competency and he packed determination straight away to do for us all that will be able.
I have thought that he will restrain its word and henceforward will справедлив to us. And insofar could, has consoled his(its) chief.
The Book 2. BEGIN ARABIC APPROACH
The Chapters with 17 on 27. My chief has surprised such favourable news, but they promised the help, but have in the interim sent me back, in Arabia, nearly against my desire. I am profit in camp Feysala at day of the defence turk Dzhebeli Subha.
We have spoken of YAnbo, hope to restore the position, but soldiers, taken from племен, turned out to be unfit for assault. We understood that if rebellion will stand firm, we must shall immediately develop the new plan to campaigns.
This was risky since pledged british military experts until profit. However we have solved to newly seize the initiative, shrug off on the main of the power of the enemy and сосредоточить their own power far, on his(its) railway flank. The First at a walk to this purposes was a remittance of our basis in Vedzh, to that we and have proceed in full scale.
CHAPTER 17
After several days following my return in Cairo Clayton has ordered me to return in Arabia, to Feysalu.
Since this was for me absolutely undesirable, I have solved to declare about its full impracticability for this work:
has said that ненавижу liability, but that role of the efficient adviser first of all expects exactly liability, was self-evident; and has added that on length of the whole lifes belongings were for me привлекательнее of the people, but ideas cherish things and that so problem of the belief of the people in need to do exactly and exactly was for me doubly gravity. Work with people not my element, beside me for it no no skill. I was not given birth by soldier and hated all connected with military service. I, of course, has read all necessities (too much books!) -- Klauzevica and ZHomini, Magana and Fosha, has played during staff plays episodes campaigns Napoleona, studied the tactician Hannibal and wars Velizariya, either as any оксфордский student, but never saw themselves in dug военачальника, compelled to conduct the own campaign.
Solved to put in action last argument, I have reminded Clayton that british commander in-chief egyptian army has sent in London telegraph request for sending several competent regular officers for managament arabic war. He has objected on this that before their arrival can pass the months, but Feysalu urgently necessary communication with us, about than he wrote straight in Egypt. Thereby, I happened to-таки to go, having left on other founded by me "Arabic bulletin", недорисованные cards and досье with разведданными about turkish army -- whole that fascinating work, which was on me and with which I, due to dug experience, quite well managed. And all this to take over role, to which I had not nor the most slightest aptitude. When rebellion has won, watchers were amicably taken praise his(its) managament, but backstage remained all vices of unprofessional management, generated by thoughtless experimentation and whim separate chief.
The Way my lay in YAnbo, became now by special basis to armies Feysala, where one-armed Garland taught the supporter of the sheriff to blast the dynamite of the railroad tracks and support the order on army storehouse. The First he managed for the best. He was a physicist-researcher and had долголетний experience of the practical work with взрывчаткой. He was an author device for undermining train, destructions telegraph line and cutting metal, but his(its) knowledge arabic and full liberty from theory of the engineer deal allowed quickly and effective to train the art of the destruction ungrammatical bedouin. His(its) pupils adored this never got lost person.
By the way, he has attached and me to address with бризантными взрывчатыми material. The Careful sappers straight-таки священнодействовали on them, Garland is charged could засунуть handful detonator to itself in pocket together with бикфордовым by cord, взрывателем and heaves and merrily prance with them on camel during week roadstead to Hidzhazskoy railway. He could not boast health and in unaccustomed climate constantly was ill. The Sick heart all more alarmed him(it) after each fit or simply tough job, but hereto he pertained with the same lightness, with what made the detonators, and continued selfless to work until let in Arabia its first train and not подорвал pathway water-supply.
Soon after this his(its) did not become.
For passed month in Hidzhaze a great deal was powerfully changed.
Following its initial plan, Feysal scrambled over in Vadi YAnbo and, previously than begin широкомасштабное approach to railway, tried to secure its rear. To free him(it) from mass хлопот, which delivered the tribes an харбов, osier Rabega his(its) young blood brother Zeyd moved to Vadi Safre, formally subordinate sheriff Ali. Brought forth onward clans харбов actively destroyed the turkish communications between Medinoy and Bir Abbasom. They nearly daily sent Feysalu small herds camel or rifles, enthralled in fighting, as well as foamy and deserter.
The Devastated appearance of the seventh November first aeroplane, Rabeg has newly found the quietness after arrival of the squedrons in composition four british planes BE under command of the major Rossa, with such briliance spoken on-arabic and such brilliant commander that could not be two opinions about that, insofar VWXbe clever he realized its help. Since weeks for week entered all more орудий while their did not be going to twenty three, basically outdated, fourteenth year of the issue. At the disposal Ali was around three thousand arabic foot soldier, including two thousand professional in khaki under beginning Aziza el-Masri, but else nine hundred cavalrymans from верблюжьего of the body, and three hundred egyptian soldiers. There were pledged french artillerymans.
The Twelfth November sheriff Abdulla finally came out of Mecca and two days later profit there, where and calculated to stop, -- between north and east point near Mediny, got possibility to cut the way of her(its) provision from Kasima and Kuwait. With Abdulloy was approximately four thousand soldier, but on all only three machine guns yes ten недальнобойных gun, enthralled in Taife and Mecca.
Consequently, he was not so strong to execute the father plan of the joint hold up on Medinu with Ali and Feysalom. He could only cut her(its) blocade and for this purpose itself was motivated in Henakii, empty city in eight miles north-восточнее Mediny, too far to be useful.
The Problem storehouse on the basis YAnbo was permitted successfully.
Garland has entrusted supervision and distribution amunition on Abdeli Kadera, which Feysal has fixed the governor, -- person eager and organized. His(its) деловитость was for us big good since allowed сосредоточить attention on questions purely operative nature. Feysal formed the battalions from their own крестьян, slave and poor person -- improvised imitation to armies of the new type under beginning Aziza in Rabege. Garland has founded the artillery rates with shooting on firing range, has organized the repair a machine gun, travell about and harness, manifesting themselves specialist in all these area. Atmosphere деловитости and confidence reigned In YAnbo.
Feysal, hitherto at all not responded to our reminders of important importance Vedzha, gestated the idea to expeditions in Dzhuheynu for her(its) seizure. For the present he has adjusted the contact with multiple племенем ticket, whose staff was found in Vedzhe, in hope to get their support. Their main sheik Suleyman Rifada took up a waiting attitude and was practically adjusted hostile: turk has done his(its) pasha and have rewarded the order. However his(its) first cousin Hamid was on party of the sheriff and has right before seized on road from El-Ulya not bad трофей -- small caravan from seventy camels with goods for turkish garrison in Vedzhe. When I prepared to trip in Heyf-Huseyn to in the next once to render on Feysala pressure for the reason realization of the plan of the approach on Vedzh, came the news about defeat turk under Bir ибн Hasani. Their mounted exploring and camel body too delved into hills, where were enthralled врасплох and is diffused arab. The Deals went all better and better.
CHAPTER 18
I successfully hit the road together with organizer of this trip by sheriff Abdeli Kerimom el-Beydavi, blood brother of the emir Dzhuheyny, looked, to my surprise, made by ethiopian. Later I have said that his(its) mother was an девочкой-невольницей, on which subsequently married the old emir. Abdeli Kerim was an average growing, thin, black as coal двадцатишестилетний merrymaker though on type him was less and on his(its) sharply outlined chin only began to entrench the beard. Worrisome and eager, he was vested alive, but several obscene humours. He
hated the turk, despised him(it) because of colour of the skin (beside arab colour skins african did not cause no hostility, what will not say about their attitude to hindu), with me held on-friendly at ease. With him was three or four from his(its) people, all on excellent camel, and moved we quickly, since Abdeli Kerim was glorified as horseman and amused itself that that drived the camel in three times quicker usual. Since camel under me was someone else and feel sorry his(its) was an нечего, I against this raised no objection, additionally sky has delayed облака and weather was chilly.
The First three hours contract we went light at a gallop. This it is enough our belly to appeared the desire be supported; we stopped and before sunset ated the stored food, sipping coffee. Afterwards Abdeli Kerim затеял on its ковре jocular fight with one of the soldier.
Dislodged from power, he уселся, and all were taken tell any histories and make fun of the friend on the other, but rested, rose and set off in dance. All felt itself absolutely liberally, good-natured and uninhibited.
Once again having set off in way, we after hour mad horse racing turned out to be in tag ends Tehamy, beside foots low гряды from stone and sand. The Month back, when went from Hamry, we обошли her(its) южнее, now moved through it to Vadi Agide, неширокой to sandy valley, meandered between hill. Because of passed several days back driving дождя soil was hard and light for camel, but ascent was крут, and we happened to to overcome him(it) at a walk. I this liked, but so irritated Abdeli Kerima that when in some hour we got before watershed, he once again threw its camel onward, leading away us for itself at the speed of, threatenning break us neck, down hill, in thickenning mirk to nights (fortunately, underfoot beside us was a good road from gravel with sand), and already through half an hour we came down on plain to appearing вдали plantation Nahli Mubaraka, the main финиковым garden south Dzhuheyny.
Having Drived up closer, we have seen the flame between stem of the palms and translucent blaze the smoke on shot instrument; the echo called in the dark with roar of a thousands as if enraged camel, with boom volley and single shots of the frantic people, searched in crowd their own friends. In YAnbo we spoke that Nahli start;put so such uproar was shown us very strange and, possible, dangerous. We carefully прокрались before the end of the grove and will go further on narrow small street between глинобитными wall in growing of the person to group of the taciturn houses. Abdeli Kerim has broken open the gates of the first building on the left, has wound in courtyard camel and has hobbled them under wall, where they could remain unespied. Then, having pulled shutter, дослал patron in stem of the rifle and, carefully stepping, on carrying moved on street on noise to realize that there occurred. We silently his(its) waited, вглядываясь in darkness;
the cloth imbrued afterwards, which we were poured with water over during rash horse racing, высыхала slowly, since night air was grown cold, and we were cold.
Through half an hour he returned and reported that here right before подошел Feysal with its верблюжьим body and we are joined to him. We have removed the camel, rose in turned gray and chain has gone on the other road, passable on embankment between house, along lain on the right on us flooded by water of the palm garden. At the end his(its) was seen crowd, presented by itself wild melange arab and camel moreover that and others without умолку aloud yelled. We by a narrow margin протиснулись between them and, having come down on declivity, turned out to be in riverbed Vadi YAnbo, presented by itself broad open space. About his(its) width possible was only guess, глядя on uneven lines twinkled afield on him watch campfires. Here, there was much cheese. The Stone still coverlets water -- traces rainstorm, passed two days back. Underfoot camel was slippery, and they started to move somehow halfhearted.
In deep mirk we did not see nothing, except dark mass of the armies Feysala, filled valley from one edge to another. All over blazed the hundreds campfires from branches of the prickly shrubbery, around which were situated the arabs. They boilled coffee, ated or have already rescued, wrapped, as mummies, in their own raincoats, вплотную to one another amongst разлегшихся where has got the camel. The Enormous amount camel did this confusion indescribable: animals lay where stood, on tether sometimes, on the whole camp, continued to approach all new, to he rushed hobbled, rhubarb from hunger and excitement. The patrols dispersed On vicinity, unloaded the caravans, but in most medium this mash angrily kicked each other several dozens egyptian mule.
Amongst this bedlam we laid itself road to isle rest in most centre of the valley, where have found the sheriff Feysala, and have stopped near by him their own camel. He sat on ковре, расстеленном straight over stone, between its cousin by sheriff SHarafom, Kaymmakamom, both from Imareta and Taifa, and Mavlyudom, now consisted under him gloomy and sharp месопотамским patriot. Before him stood on knee secretary wrote some dictation, but another, for his(its) back, aloud read донесения at light of the silver lamp, blazed in hand beside slave. The Night was windless, and undefended flame in heavy air remained direct and still.
As always unflappable, Feysal greeted me smile, which did not come off his(its) lips while he has not finished to dictate.
Afterwards apologized that takes me in such primitiv term, and nod of the head has ordered the slave to leave us in private. When all being present deleted, on открытую platform before us with trumpet roar ворвался the maddened camel. Mavlyud ed him to head off to pull aside back, but instead of this camel has dragged his(its) most.
In this moment on animal came untied вьюк, and on taciturn SHarafa, on lamp and on I was crushed avalanche accumulated on provender network. "Glory Allah, -- has seriously noticed Feysal, -- that this not butter and not bags with gold(en)". Afterwards he has told me about unexpected event, which have occurred for the last twenty four hours on front.
The Turk has slipped in pass-by of the arabic combat safeguarding in Vadi Safre on lateral road in hill and cut him way to retreat. Harby in panic scattered on surrounded them with both parties ravine and run the group on two and on three, fearing for their own families, turned out to be under threat. The Turkish cavalry has spouted in am empty the valley and through Difranskiy mouting pass to Bir Saidu, where their commander Galib-fighting hardly has not seized nothing not suspected Zeyda, спавшего in its tent. However that has haved time to in time to warn. By means of sheriff Abdully ибн Tavaba, the old служаки, differed in Harise, emir Zeyd restrained the enemy it is enough long to have time to to roll up at least part of tents, on camel baggage and leave. Then he run and itself. But his(its) army opened en masse fugitive, broad flow rushed to YAnbo in the night.
Thereby, road on YAnbo turned out to be open For turk, and Feysal with five times thousand soldier rushed here to protect its basis before organization any correct defence. He is profit here whole on half an hour earlier us. His(its) агентурная network was completely ruined: харбы, in the dark lost ability to think, brought with all parties absurd and inconsistent донесения about power turk, about their movement and intentions. He had not nor the most slightest notion, will inflict they blow on YAnbo or удовольствуются deduction receipts from Vadi YAnbo in Vadi Safru, having directed main power aside seasides, on Rabeg and Mecca. In any event position was more serious: the most best that could happen, this if their attracted the presence here Feysala. Then they must were lose much time, trying surround his(its) move to the left army, but we in this time have consolidated YAnbo. For the present Feysal did all that was in his(its) power, and did this very cheerfully. I sat and listened his(its) news, вернее of the request and complaints.
Sat near by me SHaraf, businesslike operated by toothpick in their own shining teeth, has entered in talk whole once or two for whole hour. Mavlyud that and deal bent over to me for back still Feysala, with evident pleasure catching each word донесения, which could be pointed in favour of immediate transition in counteroffensive.
This lasted before half fifth morning. Became much coldly, from humid air of the valley to the rug, but from he became humid and our cloth. The Camp gradually died down on measure that, as people and animals packed to sleep. On them slowly скапливаласьбелая haze pair from breathing, and in she rose the pillars of smoke (from campfires). For back beside us got up from mist Dzhebeli Rudva, seemed else more steep and severe, than always, and in deceptive light of the moon such close, as if his(its) enormous mass hung over most our head.
Finally Feysal was through with urgent deals. We have eaten the всухомятку a half-dozen date and convolved on humid ковре.
I long lay, tremor from chill, and saw, as bodyguards Feysala from tribe биаша, certified in that that that sleeps, were carefully selected to him and have carefully covered their own raincoat.
The Hour later, before dawning, we inadvertently rose (was too coldly to continue to pretend sleeping), and slaves разожгли campfire from palm branches to us обогреть. We with SHarafom left to realize, it is enough there is meal and fuel on given moment. As before the scouts arrived with all parties with rumour about preparing attack.
In camp was before panic not far. Feysal has solved передислоцироваться, somewhat therefore that in the case of rainstorm in mountain us inevitable has washed off water, but somewhat to occupy the wits a soldier and find their energy although some using.
Have Knocked the drums, and on camel have quickly ed the load.
After the second signal all вскочили in turned gray and ed to the right and to the left, leaving broad road, on which on its mare has gone Feysal. In step for he went SHaraf, but further -- standard-bearer Ali, splendid cutthroat from Nedzhda, with aquiline by person, framed coal-black long scythe, handing down with whisky. Ali was dress;clad much brightly and восседал on high camel. For him вперемешку moved the retinue -- sheriffs, sheiks, slaves and ya. eight protected In that morning Feysala сотен people.
Feysal rose on hills and came down in dells in quest of suitable place for camp and has finally solved to stop in distant part of open valley, spread straight on north from village Nahli Mubarak. The Buildings so drowned in verdure tree that only a few of them were seen from afar. Feysal has ordered to spread two their own tents in south part of valley, under small каменистым by hill. Beside Ball-fa also was a personal tent, in which with us were settled some other chiefs. The Guard has built around their own cabins and awnings, but egyptian arrows, been situated below us, have put(deliver)ed their own twenty tents in one beautiful line, having added by him wholly military type. Us were quite a few though if всмотреться, all this produced not too commanding impression.
CHAPTER 19
We have stood so two days; the most of this time I have conducted in society Feysala and more deeply got acquainted with principle of his(its) command in that complex period, when morale soldier because of entered alarm messages, as well as because of desertion north харбов left to want much best. Stremyasi to support the combat spirit its troops, Feysal did this, inspiring its optimism all, with whom he happened to to communicate. He was available to all, who for wall his(its) tents expected the possibility to be heard, and always before the end listened to the complaints, including in the form of the choral chant infinitely long song with transfer of the troubles, which soldiers wound around tents at nightfall. And unless solved
some question itself, that caused SHarafa or Faiza, entrusting deal im. Manifestations of this extreme patience were for me one more lesson that, on than зиждется the traditional military command in Arabia.
Not less extraordinary was and self-confident-control Fey-fats. When his(its) quartermaster Mirzuk el-Tiheymi has arrived from Zeyda to announce the scandalous history their disorderly flight, Feysal only принародно laughed a little on him and велел wait while he outtalks with sheik харбов and агейлов, whose carelessness was a main by reason of the catastrophe. He has collected them, has softly ed for that or other misses, for caused damage and посочувствовал on cause of their losses. Then has newly called Mirzuka and уединился with him, having lowered valance tents, -- sign to confidentiality of the conversation. I have thought about semantics of the name "Feysal" (chastising меч, sparkling at blow) and with terror has visualized the possible scene, but he was only подвинулся, freeing place on ковре for Mirzuka, with word:
"Sit! And tell;narrate about your glorious combat feat, повесели us". Mirzuk, beautiful, clever youth (probably, with a little резковатыми devil of the person), began, gradually вдохновляясь subject, on its long-winded атейбском adverb живописать pictures flight young Zeyda. He spoke of terror Ibn Tavaby, this famous bandit, and about the most great misery, постигшем venerable Huseyna, father of the sheriff Ali, харитянина, which lost its utensil for preparation coffee!
Feysal possessed the богатым music timbre of the voice and skilfully used him in talk with subordinated. He talked with them on idiom of the tribe, but in some своеобразной to manner to insecurity as if with nerve-racking indecision подыскивал phrases, as if peeking inside each word.
Probably, his(its) thoughts only did not run rings round word, see so found phrases were much forgive;pardon, emotional and искренни. Seemed that shield from words, protectable his(its) thoughts, so тонок that for him possible was distinguish raising dust net, manly spirit.
The Timeses he sparkled the wittiness, it was an unchangeable magnet доброжелательности arab. Once upon a time in the night Feysal talked with sheik of the tribe рифаа, sending them on operation on seizure of the plain on hardly distinguished watershed on this party Bir el-Fagira, покрытую зарослями to acacias and tamarisk. Here, the long glen connected Bruku and Bir Said.
He has softly reminded him of approach turk and that they must were their stop, having entrusted on Allah of the hope on victory.
He has added that this will impossible if they are fallen asleep.
The Oldsters -- but in Arabia opinion oldster has a greater weight, than people young -- broke the enraptured speech, have expressed confidence in that that Allah will certainly bring him victory or even two victories, and crowned their own wish by prayer about that that life Feysala became the bur marigold an ensemble unprecedented доселе victories. The Main consisted in that that they started to expose on night escalated safeguarding.
The Routine to lifes in camp was forgive;pardon. Before most dawning name to armies, having risen on top of the small hill on sleeping army, aloud called all. He had powerful, sharp voice, which valley, changed in enormous resonator, вторила echo, rolled about amongst hills. This trumpet state raised all: and ready be prayed, and sworn on than light cost(stand)s that their have woke;waked.
As soon as finished the prayer this name, her(its) caught the soft music voice a name Feysala, stood beside most his(its) tents. In minute hereon one of five slaves Feysala (all of these were rescued, but have solved to remain, since serve the former mister to him was pleasantly, additionally servant from Feysala something fell) fell into our with SHarafom tent with cup sweet coffee.
It Was Considered that sugar suits for the first cup on matutinal coolness.
The Hour later, or so, rejected the sleeping valance tents Feysala: this meant the invitation a collocutor from number домочадцев. Such could be four or пятеро. After
the familiarizations with matutinal messages in tent contributed the tray with morning meal. This was basically dates from Vadi YAnbo. The Mother Feysala, черкешенка, occasionly sent him from Mecca box their own знаменитых gingerbread, but sometimes Hedzhris, his(its) personal servant, spoiled us sponge cake of the strange taste and porridge of the own preparation. After morning meal we enjoyed alternately bitter coffee and sweet tea, but Feysal in the interim dictated the secretary a letter. One of the secretaries was a searcher of the adventures Faiz el-Huseyn, other -- name Feysala, person with sad person, stood out amongst other that that with onions his(its) turned gray always hung down seedy зонт. Sometimes in this hour Feysal gave the personal audience whomever from soldier, but this could be seldom since sleeping tent was intended for the personal necessities of the sheriff only. This was an usual tent by bell, in which were found cigarettes, field bed, very good kurdish rug and mediocre ширазский, as well as exciting old белуджский of prayer rug, on which Feysal was prayed.
Approximately in eight mornings Feysal hung itself on belt парадный dagger and moved over to tent for receiving, which sex was застелен two monstrous kilimami. фейсал sat down at heart tents by person to open party, but we took seats the semicircle a back to wall, in removal from it. The Slaves closed us behind and thronged beside open tent, looking after precipitated tent suppliant, a part from which rested upon song before entering in tent or for him in expectation of its queue. With deals tried to finish to afternoon, when emir usually rose with ковра.
Afterwards we, scanned домочадцами, and all possible guests were going to in жилом tents. Hedzhris and Salem contributed the tray with dish for lunch; the last could be as much as allowed the circumstance. Feysal was a passionate smoker, but ated much little and usually only did the type, touching finger or spoon to beans, lentil, spinach, rice and sweet small cake, afterwards, solved that all наелись, did the sign by hand, tray disappeared, and on the first plan, beside entry in tent, appeared the slaves with water for ablution finger.
Tolstyaki like Muhammeda ибн SHefii drolly bemoaned on speed and scarcity эмирских foods and велели prepare beside itself meal, for which were taken on return from Feysala.
After lunch we certain time talked, having time to drink on two cups coffee and on two glasses to look like syrup of green tea. Then valance vein tents was lowered before two hours in the afternoon that meant that Feysal or sleeps, or reads, or concerns with the personal deals whereupon he newly sat down in receiving tents and did not leave from there until released all, desired with him to speak. I nor reek did not see to although one arab left from it discontented or offended, -- it is necessary to pay tribute his(its) tact and memories;
probably, he did not get lost in no case and without labour faultless recalled the degree a kinship.
If time remained after the second audience, he walked with friends, talking about horse or plants, examining camel or asking beside anyone names got достопримечательностей. The Evening prayer was sometimes made publicly though Feysal did not demonstrate piety on display. After prayer he took the people in жилом tents on one, planning night reconnaissances and патрулирование, -- big part such action in field term was conducted at dark time.
Between six times and family hour evening contributed the supper, to which slaves invited all been present in staff. The Supper reminded the lunch, for that exception that to enormous guard the rice were added piece of the boiled mutton. This was \emph{медфа el-сухур} -- main dish. We kept the silence while all did not can be съедено.
This food and ended our day, and quietness was broken only noiseless -shown up with rather long interval by barefoot slave, breaked in on tray tea. Feysal lay much late and never выказывал of the desire to hurry us with care. The Evening he, insofar possible, was weakened, avoiding deals, from which possible was evade. Sometimes sent for anyone from sheik to listen the local legends or speak of histories племен and their genealogies, or local poets sang for us about battle; that was a long traditional religious songs with ensemble epithet and sentimentality, resurrected episodes to histories of each generation. Feysal was a passionate admirer to arabic poetry and often spurred their own collocutor to reading and discussion best verse, remunerating differed. Sometimes, truth, much seldom, he played in chess and played splendid, with thoughtless straightforwardness of the swordsman. Once in a while, can be, wanting deliver me pleasure, he told about that that saw in Syrias, or about some secret of the turkish history, but could be, and about household deal. From his(its) mouths I heard the a great deal of folk and party Hidzhaza.
CHAPTER 20
Once upon a time Feysal has unexpectedly asked me, did not want I carry in camp arabic gown, for instance, from his(its) cloakroom. I have considered that this will be for me better since it more suited for life amongst arab, which I lay ahead. Besides, then soldiers from племен will better understand, as they follow to me to pertain. Dressed in khaki they got accustomed to see the turkish officer. If I figure to carry the gown of the inhabitant of the Mecca, they will perceive me as if I was one of their chieftains. Besides, I shall be able to enter and come out of tents Feysala, not calling to itself person of attention and not compelling hereunder Feysala to explanations on my cause with strangers.
I immediately and with big pleasure complied with his(its) offer. More so that in army form was simply painfilly travell on camel or sit on the ground during halt. The Arabic cloth, carry which I learned;learnt else before war, was чище and удобнее in desert. Hedzhris too was complacent and gave the will to fantasies, обряжая me in raincoat, recently sent Feysalu great grandmother from Mecca.
The Raincoat was from splendid white silk with gold(en) embroidery, look like embellishment wedding charge (can be, this was a tipoff?). To get accustomed to new sensation of the liberty in motion, I resemble(go)ed in him on palm garden Mubaraka and Burki.
These villages were a beautiful villages, built from необожженного brick on high earth embankment, surrounded palm gardens. Nahli Mubarak stretched northward, but Tempestuous -- straight southward from it on the other party заросшей by prickly shrubbery of the valley. The Buildings were small, with wall, coated изнутри clay, chilly and much чистые, situation and utensil were limited by pair of the mats, coffee mill, pot for preparation of meal and tray.
The Narrow streets escaped in shade liberally росших tree.
The Height earth gross, surrounded cultivated area of the ground, reached occasionly five feets, and they were in most cases artificial, возведенными from excavated between tree of the spare ground, mixed with home rubbish and stone, collected for Vadi.
These dams were to protect the sowings from ливневых flow.
Otherwise Vadi YAnbo has flooded gardens since they lay below level of the valley, otherwise did not act system of the irrigation. The Narrow area were divided fence from bound palm branches or глинобитными wall and encircled неширокими приподнятыми арыками, on which streamed the ручейки of fresh water. The Gates of each garden were above level of water, and to he conducted the footbridges from three or four palm stems for passage oslo or camel. On each area имелся the clay floodgate, which opened, when came the queue полива. The Main by agricultural culture were высаженные by correct rows of the palm, for which хозяева carefully looked after, but between they grew barley, radish, cucumber, tobacco and хенна. In верховьях Vadi YAnbo colder climate did not allow to grow grape.
The Stop in Nahli Mubarake by force of circumstances could be whole only respite, and I have thought that me better to return in YAnbo to seriously продумать десантную operation on support of this port, with provision for promises of the naval command to render us in this every sort and kind of help. We have solved that I must consult with Zeydom and заручиться as possible more successful interaction with him.
Feysal has given me splendid riding camel. We have gone along Vadi Messariha new way, through агидские hills, fearing meeting with turkish patrol on more direct road. With me was a Hip ибн SHefiya; we have peacefully covered all distance for one шестичасовой transition and were in YAnbo else before dawning. The Charter from constant alarm waiting and bustles of the camp Feysala, after трехсуточного of the lack of sleep I moved straight in been empty house Garlanda (he veins itself on board warship in harbour), where collapsed to pew and fell asleep, however I have soon woke;waked with известием that approaches the sheriff Zeyd, and I rose on town wall to take a look at returned remainder broken to armies.
Their was a person eight hundred, притихших, but more at all not пристыженных by defeat. Itself Zeyd seemed absolutely indifferent. V'ezzhaya in city, he turned to ехавшему for him governor Abdeli Kaderu with word: "E, yes your city in ruins! I am an дам telegram father to has sent the person fourty masons on public buildings". So he and has done. I cabled the captain Boylu that on YAnbo hung the serious threat, and that has immediately answered that his(its) fleet will be on place in time unless earlier marked period. This was comforting, since already the following day came foul to conduct: turk, approaching significant power from Bir Saida on Nahli Mubarak, fell into contiguity with bad prepared фейсаловскими recruit. After short boa Feysal has left their own positions and has retreated to YAnbo. Seemed that our war enters in terminating stage. I have taken the camera and beside Medinskih winch has taken pictures the returned brother. With Feysalom was nearly two thousand soldier, but amongst they did not be listed nor one of the tribe джухейна. This looked like treachery and even on desertion integer tribe -- thought, which we both have rejected as absolutely impossible.
I have immediately caused in his(its) house, and he has told me that has occurred. The Turk подошли three battalions of the infantry on mule and troop to cavalries on camel. Commanded them Galib-fighting, exceedingly cunning военачальник, acted so, as earlier under beginning командующего body. The Expedition private accompanied Fahru-pasha, but his(its) conductor and officer communication with arab was Dahili-Blushed el-Kadi, hereditary judge of the tribe джухейна, adversary of the sheriff Muhammeda Ali el-Beydavi and the second after it person in tribe.
First they sped;speeded up Vadi YAnbo, leaving to grove Bruki, but then hung over arabic communication, involved with YAnbo. They could liberally conduct the fire on Nahli Mubaraku from their own seed орудий. Feysal did not be lost and threw the soldier-джухейнцев on left flank to occupy the greater valley. The Centre and right flank were in Nahli Mubarake, but egyptian artillery he has ordered to occupy the fire positions on Dzhebeli-Agide to cut him(it) from turk. Has Then opened the fire on Bruke from two heavy орудий, shot пятнадцатифунтовыми projectile.
The Fire from these орудий conducted the syrian officer Rasim, former commander to batteries in turkish army, and did this splendid. Old, but else suitable to shooting of the gun were received in grant from Egypt, but there, is seen, have solved that for wild arab сойдут and such -- as, however, and sixty thousand выбракованных rifles, relic галлиполийской to campaigns. Beside Rasima was not neither gun панорам, nor range finder, neither tables, nor modern gunpowder.
The Distance before enemy reached the poles of a thousands yard, but covered by green mildew взрыватели shrapnel charge remembered else english-boer war, and projectiles or in general did not tear, or breakups occurred on недолетах. However beside Rasima was not a possibility to back unimproved amunitions, and he singed without respite, as mad, aloud dare on such way of conduct of the war. Glyadya on its commander, soldiers-bedouins приободрились. "Praise Allah, here is persisting guns, -- spoke they, -- see, what грохочут!" Rasim plow that turk is perished hundred from each projectile, and arabs outlining head tore onward.
The Deal went quite well, and Feysal already has nearly believed in resolute success, when suddenly occupied valley left flank to his(its) armies quailled, stopped, but afterwards in disturbances was rolled away.
Feysal jumped from the centre to Rasimu with shout that джухейнцы retreat and it is necessary to rescue the guns. Rasim запряг in them gun payments and has drived to Vadi Agide, where kept the advice frightened египтяне. For he rushed агейлы and атбанцы, and soldiers Muhammeda ибн SHefii -- харбы and биаши.
The Demoralized army, in rear guard which turned out to be Feysal with their own drawn near, dragged along aside YAnbo, having left warrior of the tribe джухейна turk.
When I listened the tale about this sad end, together with Fesaylom cursing treachery brother Beydavi, some trouble ed for door, and, having broken through заслон slave, in room has flown Abdeli Kerim. He dashed to rise, on which sat we with Feysalom, has kissed the end of the cord of his(its) turban and was lowered on mat near by us. "Well as?" -- drilling his(its) glance, has asked Feysal. Abdeli Kerim has spoken of alert, covered him(it) at type of the departure Feysala, about that, as they with brother and with their own valorous warrior whole night one, without artillery fought with turk until made sure in that that to hold the palm groves impossible, and also двинулись вспять, to Vadi Agide. Just in these minute his(its) brother and half of the remained mans of the tribe got through town gates. Rest detained on Vadi YAnbo for водопоя.
"But why you have left with battlefield and returned in camp?" -- has asked Feysal. "Only to prepare itself on cup coffee", -- answered Abdeli Kerim. "We have entered in fighting with dawning and to approach сумерек have much tired, yes and thirst us tormented!" We with Feysalom were mended from horselaugh. But have afterwards solved to watch that possible to do for saving of the city.
The First step was forgive;pardon: we have ed all джухейнцев back to Vadi YAnbo with order сосредоточиться in Heyfe for unceasing pressure on turkish communication link. They must were also place the groups a sharpshooter in агидских hill.
These диверсионные measures were to distract as large as possible turk that that could not двинуть against YAnbo power, numerically exceeding his(its) protector, beside which additionally turned out to be the positional advantage. The City feet towered on flat top of the coral reef on twenty on sea level and was with two parties is surrounded by water, but approaches to him with two other represented itself flat sandy plain, spread on many miles and deprived всякой to vegetation, places impenetrable because of friability of sand.
Additionally here was not no sources of fresh water.
At light of the day under protection artillery and пулеметного of the fire city here was absolutely impregnable.
Since minute for minute was expected arrival to artillery: Boyl, as usually done more, than promised, less than for twenty four hours сосредоточил on roadstead YAnbo five naves. He has put(deliver)ed the shallow monitor "M-31" in far-ends of the south-east bay, whence his(its) шестидюймовые of the instrument could check the possible direction of the approach turk. His(its) captain Krokeru was not tolerated put in action these voiced shot guns. The more large naves have got up on anchor for conduct of the fire дальнобойными instrument through city, but as required and for protection of the other flank by fire from north bay. The Searchlights "Daffrina" and "M-31" обшарили sandy plain on approach to city.
The Arabs in delight recalculated got up on roadstead of the naves and prepared to contribute its contribution to worthy receiving the night guests. Possible, there was hope that panics anymore will, but to add him get fat confidence in itself, it is necessary was conduct him for protection of some fortification. Dig the trenches was not a sense, because of hardness of the coral soil somewhat, as well as therefore that experience in this beside them was not, yes and use them they were not accustomed. So we продублировали the town wall from crumbled from salt stone, having built beside new, fell asleep the gap between them ground, having done thereby these bastions of the sixteenth age unmoved at least once for rifles, but, probably, and for turkish mountain орудий.
The Bastions we have surrounded the barbed wire, having placed her(its) festoons between stood with medicine to be taken externally parties wall reservoir for collection of rain water. In point with best corners of the fire have torn away the пулеметные trenches and have put in them regular пулеметчиков Feysala. In this scheme was sewn on place every, else including and египтян, not hidden its satisfactions. The Main by engineer and consultant herewith was Garland.
After sunset city nearly appreciable trembled from excitement. The Whole day on he were breaked in shouts, swore at each other the worker, built fortifications, somebody fired an occasional shot in air. In that night to sleep nearly nobody stayed up. Around eleven hours has sounded the warning signal.
The Watch troops ed on enemy whole in three miles from city. Garland with megaphone in hand passed on multiple town street, raising soldier of the garrison.
They darted out from houses and in dead to silence scattered on its places, without united word or casual shot.
The Sailors been on duty on minaret, have transferred the warning signal on naves, have at once flashed up all searchlights, and their rays, whimsical crisscrossing, become slowly ransack the bunch of the light plain, on which were to move the approached troops. However no sign of the attack existed, and beside us was not a reasons to open the fire.
Subsequently Dahili-Blushed told me that has advised the turk to attack YAnbo in the dark to at a blow destroy the army Feysala once and for ever, but this time, in full silence, in bright light searchlight, лившемся with illuminated naves, overlapped whole harbour, flashed breastworks, which lay ahead преодолеть, gallantry has changed the turk. They have turned back, and I think that exactly in this night they have lost the war. Itself I in this time was on board "Suvy" and finally-that has firmly rescued. I was thanked Dahili-Hallo for caution, to which he called the turk, and though we, can be, lost the possibility одержать loud victory, was ready to return much more for these eight hours of the serene rest.
CHAPTER 21
The following day, the crisis passed. The Turk have obviously tolerated the defeat. The Tribe джухейна has shown the activity on its flank, acting from Vadi YAnbo. The Fortification efforts Garlanda on town protection were verily impressive. Sir Archibalid Myurrey, to which Feysal addressed with request about demonstrations in Sinae to prevent the tap a turk in Medinu, has sent the inspiring answer, and all облегченно вздохнули. Several days later Boyl рассредоточил of the nave, having promised under following warning signal to repeat прожекторную attack, but I took the opportunity go to Rabeg, where has met the colonel Bremona, обросшего by beard of the chief to french military mission, single persisting military in Hidzhaze. He as before used its french troop in Suece as lever for remittance of the british crew in Rabeg, but since suspected that I not completely on his(its) party, tried to turn me in its faith.
In the course of the following debate I was voiced about need of the most quick approach on Medinu since considered, either as rest британцы that fall Mediny was shown necessary condition precedents of the further development of the arabic rebellion. He has sharply pulled down me, having said that to persist on taking Mediny unreasonably. On his(its) opinion, the arabic motion reached the maximum to usefulness fact of the rebellion itself in Mecca, but military operations against turk better to conduct single-handedly, power to Great britain and France. He has voiced the wish about debarkation of the union troopses in Rabege, since this has coolled passion племен, having done in their eye of the suspicious sheriff. Then foreign troops become his(its) main by protection and this was deal up to completion of the war, when after mess turk державы-победительницы will be able to select Medinu beside sultan according to term of the peace treaty and return her(it) under management Huseyna, with conservation of the legal sovereignty Hidzhaza.
I did not separate the lightheaded convictiom Bremona in that that we it is enough strong to abandon to help small ally, and has straight said him about this. I added the most great importance immediate seizure Mediny and recommended Feysalu to take Vedzh to have a possibility as before to threaten to railway. One word, in my understanding arabic motion has not justified most fact of its existence if b his(its) enthusiasm has not brought the arab in Damascus. This him was not perceived already on that that agreement Sayks -- Peak 1916 between France and England was formed Sayksom in payment on this prospect exactly and in indemnity provided creation independent arabic state in Damascus, Aleppo and Mosule, since otherwise these regions have got under absolute control of the France. Neither Sayks, nor Peak considered that this real, my opinion was straight opposite, and I supposed that hereon power of the arabic motion will prevent introduction to West Asia -- us or someone other -- inadmissible "colonial" schemes to usages. Bremon ed, translated the talk in its technical sphere and convinced me, nigh only sworn honour of the staff officer, in that that leaving YAnbo and march on Vedzh were for Feysala militarily suicide. But I did not see convincing power in brought by him long-winded argument and has straight said him about this.
This was a strange talk between old soldier and young persons in whimsical gown, left beside me unpleasant aftertaste. The Colonel, like all its compatriot, was a realist in любви and war. Even unamendable прозаиками remained in poetical situation frenchmans, seen belongings in прямом light reason and understanding, rather then полуприкрытыми eye that characteristic made by богатым imagination британцам. This two extremities of the national nature that and others. However I checked itself in sufficient measure to not to tell nor one arab about this talk, and has sent the full report about him colonel Uilsonu, which has immediately arrived to Feysalu for discussing веджской prospects in all her(its) aspect.
Else before arrival Uilsona focus of attention turk sharply moved. Fahri-pasha saw hopelessness of the hold up on YAnbo, either as directions Huseyna for elusive джухейнцами in Heyf. Besides, him(it) in most Nahli-Mubarake powerfully bombed the pair an english seaplane, which was it is difficult to fly on пустыней and which in two events have aptly covered the enemy, in spite of fire by shrapnel. As a result he has solved in a hurry to leave on Bir Said, having left small power for сдерживания джухейнцев, and двинуться further on Road sultan to Rabegu at the head main mass their own soldier. These change, certainly, were is somewhat conditioned необычайной by power Ali in Rabege. As soon as Ali has heard of mess Zeyda, he has then and there sent him renewing and guns, but when has tolerated the defeat and itself Feysal, he has solved двинуться on north with the whole its army for hold up on turk in Vadi Safre to dispell them from YAnbo. At the disposal Ali was nearly seven thousand soldier, and Feysal understood that if advancement will is timed from one of his(its) parts, power Fahri can be in hill, being jammed in pincers movement. He cabled this offer and asked for a delay for several days for adduction in readiness their own shocked soldier.
Ali already was all set and did not want to wait. So Feysal has in a hurry sent Zeyda to Masahali in Vadi YAnbo for undertaking the necessary preparations. When they were completed, he has sent Zeyda to occupy Bir Said, as was is successfully made. Has Then ordered the джухейнцам двинуться to him for support. They запротестовали since Ibn Beydavi envied the increasing influence Feysala amongst племен and wanted to remain necessary. Feysal unexpectedly двинулся to Nahli-Mubaraku and for one night has convinced the tribe джухейна in that that he their chieftain. On the following morning all of these already were on march, he left to join the north харбов to mouting pass Tasha to cut the turk of the way of the retreat in Vadi Safra. He had nearly six thousand soldier, and if Ali has occupied the north fringe of the valley, weakened turk turned out to be between two lights. Regrettably, this has not occurred. When already on march he has heard from Ali that after peace return back Bir ибн Hasani his(its) people were demoralized by false reports on manifestations of disloyalty amongst субхов and in full disturbances were quickly rolled away to Rabegu back. During this sinister pause in YAnbo profit colonel Uilson to convince us in need of the immediate undertaking to operations against Vedzha. The changed plan Was worked out, according to which Feysal was to direct all power an джухейнцев and their own constant battalions on Vedzh, under maximum support of the fleet. Such power could provide the success, but then YAnbo remained empty and defenseless. Fey-fat was afraid to risk. He has validly noticed that turk in surrounded his(its) terrain still save transportability that power Ali turned out to be blown, unapt to protect Rabeg under serious approach and since Rabeg is a bastion, protecting Mecca, him sooner to come to throw YAnbo and переправиться with soldier through river to die, foughting, than outlive the loss of the seaside.
To becalm him(it), Uilson in bright tone has entered power Rabega. For check of his(its) sincerity Feysal has required that that gave him word that рабегский garrison at support of the british fleet will be able выстоять before enemy before fall Vedzha. In quest of supports Uilson has looked over the taciturn deck "Daffrina" (on which passed our conversation) and noble gave the required word.
Being clever play since without this Feysal was not shifted with place then operation against Vedzha, single offensive operation, on which were a capable arabs, was their last chance not as much on ensuring the convincing siege Mediny as on prevention of the occupation turk Meccas. Several days later he has consolidated its position, having sent Feysalu direct orders his(its) father, sheriff, about immediate appearance on Vedzh with all имевшимися in his(its) dictation by troops. In the interim position Rabega was complicated. The Number of the power of the enemy in Vadi Safre and on Sultanskoy road was valued in five thousand people nearly. North харбы implored to save their palm groves. South харбы, people Huseyna Mabeyriga, insidious waited advancement a turk to hit upon supporter of the sheriff with rear. On counsel Uilsona, Bremona, Dzhoysa, Rossa and others, taken place in Rabege in christmas eve, was solved to prepare ashore, вблизи aerodrome, small position, which could during several hours, required for loading property on naves, hold under protection ship орудий египтяне, aviation and sailor десант with "Minervy". The Turk step for at a walk advanced onward, but city was unable to fight back one powerfully seedy battalion, supported field artillery. However Fahri was too slow. He passed Bireli-Sheik any significant power by the end of the first week of the January only, but family by days later still did not get ready to approach on Horeybu, where was found combat safeguarding Ali number in several сот of the person. Already, there were clashes between patrol, but expected since day for day assault was constantly postponed.
Really, turk were met with incidental difficulty. Their staffs turned out to be before fact of the mass heavy diseases amongst soldier and grown exhausting animal. That and other was a result of the fatigue, absences добротной foods for people and stern for camel.
The Activity племен in rear beside turk powerfully they disturbed. If clans could occasionly fall out of arabic deal, that this did not mean that they became the reliable adherent a turk, which have soon felt that turned out to be in hostile country. The Roadsteads of the representatives племен in the first fortnight of the January have inflicted him, in среднесуточном calculus, loss on fourty camels and on twenty soldiers killed and wounded.
These roadsteads could occur in any point, commencing from десятимильной of the zone мористее most Mediny and including territory of the hills in radius seventy miles. They well illustrated the obstacles on way of the turkish army with her(its) by half германизированной by materiel, when turk tried from removed on far cry of the railway station of the unloading in absence of the roads to forge ahead on powerfully rough terrain of the hostile country. The Bureaucratic development of the war constrained transportability to this armies and has paralysed her(its) offensive blast. The Difficulties with each new nice grew already not in arithmetical, but in geometric progression. Medina as basises was chose by them unhappily. The Situation was for turk so малообещающей that Fahri was by half complacent, when at the last days 1916 unexpected steps Abdully and Feysala have changed the strategic concept an хиджазской wars and when they have in a hurry turned мекканскую expedition (after eighteenth January) from Sultanskoy back, Farskoy and Gahskoy roads and from Vadi Safry for passive defence траншей in view of town sewer Mediny -- steady-state position, saved before most armistice, be through with war and led Turciyu to regrettable for it delivery of the holy city and his(its) helpless garrison.
CHAPTER 22
Feysal was an ardent figure, selfless бравшимся for all, on that dared. He solemnly promised немелденно go to Vedzh so at the first day of the new year we with he уединились to discuss that this meant for us and for turk. Around us, on many miles along Vadi YAnbo, small group around palm groves, under the толстыми tree, and everywhere, where only possible was take cover from sun and дождя and find the pasture for camel, were situated the soldiers to our armies. The Highlander, полуголых foot soldier, became less. The Majority from poles of a thousands of the person of the personal composition were an зажиточными by people, rider on own camel. The Centres, on which they prepared itself coffee, were seen afar: their issued turned gray, decomposable around campfires and served pillow for people, that and deal packed подремать between two foods.
The Psychic perfection arab allowed him, weakened, with отрешенностью of the dead body to rest upon stony soil, like lizard meeting with his(its) jaggy.
They were calm and sure of itself. Some of them,
served beside Feysala on полгода or long, have forfeited initial passion of the enthusiasm, so struck me in Hamre, but but then have gained the enormous experience, and their stability was for us ценнее and важнее, than former passion. Their patriotism was now conscious, but presence in formation on measure of the removing from building became all more constant.
Plemennaya самобытность was as before saved, but was worked out certain averaged routine to lifes in camp and in march. When approached the sheriff, бойцы were then and there formed up in one uneven rank, all at once weighed out the bow and put the hand to lip that was an official greeting. They did not swab its weapon, explaining that so in it less is rammed sand, additionally and gun butter-that beside them was not, but when it appeared, his(its) preferred to rub in its cracked skin, but rifles herewith were kept in order, and some of the arrow could aiming to shoot on greater distances.
En masse they did not create awesome, frightenning impressions since they were deprived corporative spirit, notions about discipline and mutual confidence. Than small was a subdivision, so much the better it waged war. A Thousand arab represented itself crowd helpless before mouth trained turk, but three or four could stop amongst their own hills dozen turkish soldier. Such devil Napoleon has noticed beside мамелюков. We were so far too absorbed сиюминутными care to transform the practical person snap action in strict principle. Our tactics was reduced to empirical choice first попавшихся ways of преодоления difficulties. But also we learned;learnt, either as our people.
Posteriory battles under Nahli-Mubarake we abandoned to ideas of the giving egyptian troop soldier of the irregular troopses. We have sunk on naves egyptian officer and soldier and have sent home, having transferred all their arms Rasimu, commanded artillery to armies Feysala, and Abdulle el-Deleymi, his(its) officer, have charge of пулеметные of the subdivision. They have completed the arabic mouths local recruit, having consolidated their trained in Turcii deserter-сирийцами and месопотамцами. Mavlyud, ardent adjutant Feysala, выпросил beside me fifty mules, has seated on them their own trained foot soldier and has said that hereafter they cavalry. He was an ardent supporter of the regimentation, inborn cavalryman, and due to his(its) spartan drill these over and over again beaten teamsters mule by price of the nerve-racking drilling changed in best soldier, disciplined and capable to approach on all rule!
They were hereby miraculously in arabic army. We have sent the new telegraph inquiry for fifty mules to redouble the number "cavalries" since value such reliable subdivision for integer of the exploring was obvious.
Feysal has offered to take with you in march on Vedzh nearly all bedouin джехейн, having added to him харбов and ticket, атейбов and агейлов to add the mass a soldier многоплеменной nature. We wanted that rumour about this march, which was to become sort of final act of the war in North Hidzhaze, passed along and across the whole West Arabia. He was to remain the most largest arabic operation in their memories. We wanted to release on house one, this has understood, with consciousness that that their world really changed to in the future was not more desertion and transition on party of the enemy and соперничества clan beside us in rear, paralysing разнобоем the household politicians in peak of our fight.
We did not expect the immediate resistance. We were going to to take with you this clumsy crowd in march on Vedzh, straight in teeths experienced and strong enemy, exactly therefore that battles was not foreseed. Us had some unchallengeable advantage. First, turk have right before used additional power for seizure Rabega, or sooner for the reason expansions of its staging area for this approach. The Transfer them back on north has occupied several days. Additionally turk were balk, and we reckoned that they not immediately hear about our march that will not believe the first reports on this and too will late caught their own chances. If we have made its march for three weeks, that, probably, have seized Vedzh врасплох.
Finally, we could transform the sporadic forays an харбов in thought-out operations for possible seizure of the mining for the reason самообеспечения, but first of all for blocking the large number turk on defensive position. Zeyd agreed to go to Rabeg for organization of the pinpricks in rear beside turk. I have delivered him letter to captain "Daffrina", man on duty of the nave on roadstead YAnbo, which will be able to provide him quick passage since all, to whom was a known plan веджской to operations, was not tolerated her(its) support.
To most поупражняться in art of the undertaking roadstead, I for the second day 1917, взяв with itself in Nahli-Mubarake test party from thirty five махамидов, left to old fort with pit, remembered me with the first transition from Rabega in YAnbo. When has got dark, we were ordered to dismount and have left ten persons for guard camel from possible turkish patrols. With rest I became to clamber on Difran. This was a difficult ascent on sharp edge layer sorts, passable is bent from гребня before foot.
On declivity was an ensemble of the jaggies, however safely grasp was not for that: any piece simply could be split off and remain in hand. The chill and mist reigned On top Difrana. Time before dawning stretched slowly. We were situated on slot in sort and have finally seen adown spires колоколообразных tents in трехстах yard on the right on us, beside foots of the mountain, hidden by her(its) spur from eye of the watcher, which was found adown. In field of our vision was not whole camp, and we settled for that that have fired the tops of the tents. Of them darted out aiming crowd turk, as зайцы jumped in torn away beside to trenches. They were too rolling dartboard, probably, little damaged from our shot and have in turn opened the fluent disorderly fire in all directions, подняв monstrous hubbub, as if calling on help whole garrison Hamry.
Since correlation of power and so was not in our profit -- ten to one, appearance beside enemy of the reinforcements could cut us way of the departure; we carefully crawlled away back and, having escaped from type, quickly came down in the first glen, where ed on two frightened turk in unbuttoned гимнастерках, done matutinal charging. They had a miserable type, but we have thought that they can give the useful information, and have dragged them in its camp, where they really give important evidences.
Feysal as before outlived delivery YAnbo, which was before this his(its) main by basis and the second on importance seaports Hidzhaza. Thinking over further measures on distraction turk from their problems, we have unexpectedly recalled about Sidi Abdulle in Hanakii. He disposed whole five times thousand uninstructed soldier, several guns and machine gun, yes reputation well-earned under successful (though and too lingered) to siege Taifa. There was shame on you leave his(its) one amongst deserts, and the first thought was that he could make way to Heybar and tax(cover) the railway, going from Mediny northward. However Feysal has vastly perfected my plan, having thought about history valley creek and деревень, drowned in verdure palm garden, stretched through impregnable hills of the tribe джухейна from Rudvy on orient, to valley Hamdh near Hedii. Before it was whole one hundred kilometers from Mediny in north direction, and she represented itself staging area for direct threat to train service Fahri with Damascus. Abdulla could block on east direction of the way of the approach to Medine caravan with Persian bay. Besides, this valley was from YAnbo not far, which easy could supply Abdullu amunition and провиантом.
The Offer Feysala was with воодушевлением is accepted, and we have then and there sent the Rajah el-Huluvi with this plan to Abdulle. We
there were so certain that that his(its) will take that have convinced Feysala, not expecting answer, emerge from Vadi YAnbo on north and hereunder begin the first stage of the march on Vedzh.
CHAPTER 23
He agreed, and we moved on broad upper road through Vadi Messarih to Uvaysu, group pit mile in fifteen northward from YAnbo. In that day hills looked beautifully. Passed the ample december rain, and changed their warm sun has defrauded the ground, thought that has already approached the springtime, And in each ложбинке, on each glade entrenched to sun making look younger herb. Her(its) стебельки, rare and direct, laid itself road between stone. From turned gray was not seen, as herb has changed the colour of the soil underfoot, but if watch far onward, that bluish-blue and is dyed-brown denuding on distant declivity angularly visions seemed covered pale-green haze.
The Places vegetation was it is enough juicy, and our camels, tingling her(it), бодрее became on eye.
Has Sounded the signal to appearance, but only for us and агейлов. The Other subdivisions to armies выстроились along road by chain, each soldier on rack "quietly" near by lain by camel, and silently greeted Feysala under his(its) approach. "World to you", -- cheerfully answered he, and each sheik repeated this phrase for him. When we продефилировали between rows soldier, they, having born pause while their chiefs sat in saddle, вскочили themselves, and soon for us already moved on narrow sinuous ущелью to people chain watershed and camel, sprawlled, insofar was enough the eye.
The Single sound, before that as we reached гребня first hill, were a greetings, turned to Feysalu. There our взору was opened valley, and we started to come down on пологому declivity, dotted drowned in song by pebble and splinter flint. But sharp-eyed ибн Dahili, sheik of the tribe руссов, two years back lifted in handgun this contingent агейлов in help Turcii and in wholenesses led him(it) to sheriff, when began rebellion, moved backward on step or two, has quickly reconstructed our chain in broad pillar of the correct ranks and has ordered to knock in drums. All simultaneously грянули canto in honour of emir Feysala and his(its) family.
Our cavalcade shone straight-таки barbarous grandeur. Ahead of went Feysal in all white, for him, on the right, SHaraf in red головном kerchief and painted by henna to tunic and raincoat, on the left I in white and scarlet, for us three standard-bearer, on which flapped the width from panned out crimson silk with gilded ferrule on древках, afterwards beaten off tact of the march drummers, but for they wavered the wild mass from twelve сотен as if danced up and down under music camel troop of the bodyguards, not transferred on wealth colorful furnishings garb their own rider and moved nearly вплотную one to the other, -- remained only to wonder, as they did not disturb to each other. This sparkling flow has flooded the valley from edge before edge.
On approach to Messarihu us have caught the courier with letter to Feysalu from Abdeli Kadera from YAnbo. In their count;calculate;list was and lagged for three days letter for me with "Daffrina" about that that captain will not take aboard Zeyda until it is met with me and will not discuss the detail of the established position. "Daffrin" stood in SHerme, secluded bay in eight miles from port, ashore which officers could play in cricket, not being subjected to hold ups myriad flies, filled air YAnbo. Of course, they thereby deprived itself possibility to be in rate event, and this served the ground for constant friction between you and me. Acted from the best impetuses captain not дотягивал neither before ardent policy and revolutionary конституционалиста Boyla -- on width of the outlook, nor before collected in each port all local gossips Linberi with "Hardinga" -- on intellect.
Similars, me to follow to leave on "Daffrin" to solve the appeared problems. Zeyd was a glorious lad, but in its compelled idleness, of course, could выкинуть anything from row halitosis leaving, as follows presently us was needs the world. Feysal отрядил with me several агейлов, and we were rushed in YAnbo. Really, I доехал before city through so well introduce me plain whole for three hours, having come off from its discontented escort (my accompanied have declared that do not want to impound the camel and wax itself задницы because of my impatience) on hal-fway. The Sun, absolutely charming, when восходило on hill, now poured out the flows to white fury on our person, and I happened to, защищаясь from it, all time to keep the hand an козырьком before eye. Feysal gave me race camel (the gift недждского emir his(its) father) -- splendid and uncommonly harebrained animal. Subsequently this camel pal from fatigue, scabieses and inevitable недогляда on way in Akabu.
In YAnbo all were not so, as I expected. Zeyda all have took aboard "Daffrina", and nave this have in the morning swum away in Rabeg. I уселся for payments of the number of the naves, which were needed us for sea support when moving on Vedzh, and sharing the transport facilities. Feysal promised дожидаться in Uvayse my reports on that that all ready.
The First step has brought about conflict between civil and military power. Abdeli Kadera, eager, but too temperamental governor, on measure of the expansion of our basis oppressed the burden свалившихся on it duties, and Feysal has added him in help of the military commandant Taufik-бея, сирийца from Homsa, which have subordinated the artillery syllables. Regrettably, in city was not a competent specialist, who could it is correct to define the notions "artillery syllables". The scandal broke In that morning because of empty box. Abdeli Kader запер storehouse and has left to eat. Taufik appeared on набережной with four soldiers, armed by machine gun and sledge-hammer, and has broken open the door. Abdeli Kader вскочил in boat, has ordered to deliver his(its) aboard small british сторожевика "Espaygl" and has declared his(its) bewildered, but hospitable captain that intending to remain beside it. His(its) servant has delivered him with coast meal, and he has spent the night on field berth, which for he has distributed on шканцах.
I it is necessary was hurry, and I began with that that has convinced Abdeli Kadera to write Feysalu about decision to transfer the syllables from Taufika me. We have drived the trawler "Aretuzu" closer to сторожевику to Abdeli Kader could command loading disputable box with its nave, but have afterwards delivered Taufika with "Espaygla" for negotiations about temporary reconciliation. On cast of the die this turned out to be not difficult, since, answerring greeting of the guard of honour, exposed in his(its) honour beside ship's ladder (on charter this did not rely on, but was made from political considerations), Taufik broke into a smile:
"This nave has taken me in captivity in Curia", -- has indicated he finger on copper nameplate with name of the turkish gunboat "Marmaris", sunk "Espayglom" in battle on Tiger. Abdeli Kader has shown hereto not smaller interest, than itself Taufik, and conflict was permitted itself itself.
The following day in YAnbo profit SHaraf, already as emir, on place Feysala. This is a mighty person, probably, the most capable from all sheriff in armies, was deprived any честолюбия, and all his(its) actions were not impulsive, but dictated solely by consciousness of the debt. He was rich and long years was shown main судьей at courtyard of the sheriff. He knew the bedouin and hit it off with them better any other, but they were somewhat afraid him(it), strict and impartial, with sinister person, defaced gone down downwards by left brow (the result of the old wounding), added him expression some repulsing hardness. The Ship surgeon with "Suvy" handled SHarafu eye and in significant measure has returned the vision, but type of the disfigured person excluded any вольности or weaknesses. I liked to have with him deal: beside it was a clear head, he was VWXbe clever and good, with pleasing smile, and when he smiled, mouth his(its) softened, but eye invariably expressed the threat and constant determination to act.
We came to the total opinion about that that risk of the fall YAnbo during our march on Vedzh was great and that advisable вывезти from city contents storehouse. And Boyl has relieved this problem, протелеграфировав me that or "Daffrin", or "Harding" will are given for transportation. I have answered that since предвидятся the serious difficulties, prefer "Harding". The Captain Uorren, whose nave has intercepted the telegram, has considered her(its) excessive, but in two days, to my joys, came exactly "Harding". This was indian military-transport nave, and his(its) lower deck, intended for десанта, was provided with several greater square ports at a rate of waterlines. Linberi has opened them for us, and we literally забили her(its) вперемешку eight thousand rifles, three million charge, a thousand projectile, bag with rice and flour, enormous amount of the uniform cloth, two tons взрывчатки and all имевшимся in presence by diesel oils. The Nave became looks like mailbox, downtrodden letter. Previously he never took aboard and a thousand of the tons of the cargo.
Boyl has perceived this with enthusiasm. He has given "Harding" for use as nave-storehouse, for delivery on coast on measure of need of provisions and water, and this solved the main problem. The Fleet already was on approach. We expected the half of naval power Red epidemic deathes. Waited the arrivals of the admiral, and on each nave went the drill an десантных groups. All repainted the form a khaki in white colour, затачивали bayonets and were practised in shooting from rifles.
For all that, I secretly hoped that battles not will. Beside Feysala was nearly ten thousand soldier -- it is enough to fill whole territory of the tribe ticket armed troop and carry away from there all not too heavy or not too hot. The Ticket this understood and hard demonstrated get fat loyalty to sheriff and attribute to arabic nationality.
There was absolutely certainly that Vedzh we shall take. Caused the misgiving only that on way there much army Feysala could perish from hunger or thirsts.
Provision was my duty and required the most responsible approach. However territory before Wit Ledzha -- approximately partway -- was friend, and while nothing be tragic to occur could not so we have sent Feysalu message that all ready, and he has abandoned Ovais at the very day, when Abdulla has reported that greets the plan Aisa, and has promised to emerge there. In this day came the message, allowed me вздохнуть свободнее. Niyukomb, regular colonel, sent in Hidzhaz as chief to our military mission, profit in Egypt, and two officers of his(its) staff, Coke and Vikkeri, already were whilst in transit to Red epidemic deathes to be joined to this expeditions.
Boyl on "Suve" has delivered me in Wit Ledzh, and we сошли on coast to hear to news. The Sheik has reported us that Feysal must was in this day to approach to Bir el-Vaheydi, water source in four miles from city in глубь country.
We have sent him letter, but then left in fort on foot, which several months back Boyl fired from ship орудий "Foksa". The Fort represented itself common hut, and, examinring closely his(its) ruins, Boyl has noticed:
"Me shame on you that I have ruined such miserable shanty". He was a professional regular officer, careful, деловитым, and held officially, occasionly showing intolerance to lightheaded action and people. The Redheaded people seldom be patient. "Redhead Boyl", as his(its) named, was вспыльчив.
While we examined the ruins of the fort, from village подошли four grey ragged oldsters and have asked the permits to talk with us. They have said that several months back подошел some speed двухтрубный nave and has destroyed their fort. Now from they have required to restore him(it) for police body arabic government, so could not generous captain this peace однотрубного of the nave to give him little бревен or some other material to help to reconstruction? During their long speech Boyl rotated tenterhook and that and deal asked again me: "What is wrong?
That him it is necessary?" "Nothing, -- answered I, -- they simply tell, as terribly was a destruction of the fort projectile with "Foksa". Boyl was looked over around and sinister smiled: "As speak, worked at glory".
The following day profit Vikkeri. He was an artilleryman and for time десятилетней services in Sudan has learned;learnted the arabic language, as colloquial, so and literary, so well that beside us have completely fallen off need for translator. We agreed with Boylom about trip in camp Feysala to make out scheme offensive operation, and after dinner англичане and arabs were taken form the schedule of the further advancement to Vedzhu.
We have solved to split the army on separate subdivisions amount небольше platoon. They lay ahead by itself to move in item of act of concentration Abu Zereybat in Hamdhe, after which before most Vedzha was not water moreover Boyl consented to one night to drop anchor in SHerm Habbane, -- we expected that local harbour will approaching to unload for us on coast twenty tons of water. So and was solved.
For assault Vedzha we have offered Boylu to take aboard arabic десантный troop in composition several сотен харбов and джухейнцев from крестьян and вольноотпущенников under command Saliha ибн SHefii, black man of the youth, combined courage with friendliness, supported reasonable order amongst their own subordinated by incantation and call. His(its) not at all did not upset that circumstance that herewith could damage his(its) value in them or in our eye. Boyl complied with offer and has solved to place the comando on the second deck "Hardinga", and without that already downtrodden under завязку. Together with sea десантом they were to disembark the севернее of the city, where beside turk was not a safeguardings, which could block the debarkation десанта.
From there, there was удобнее to attack Vedzh and his(its) port.
At the disposal Boyla must was be to say the least six naves with пятьюдесятью instrument that will force the turk be conceived, plus ship with hydroplane -- spotter артогня. We must were a twentieth number to come up for Abu Zereybate, twenty second in Habbane to take water with "Hardinga", but at dawn twenty third were to disembark десант, and hereto moment warrior on camel lay ahead to overlay all way of the town departure.
Came good to conduct from Rabega: turk did not do the attempts to use defenselessness YAnbo. This was our chance, and message Boyla by radio about that that they repose, us exceedingly вдохновило. Abdulla already nearly дошел before Aisa, we were midway to Vedzhu; the initiative has alterred by sawing to arab. I was filled with such joys that for some moment has lost supervision on itself, and exulting has declared that in year we постучимся in gates Damascus. On head collected in our tent пронесся the coolness, and my optimism then and there to went out.
Later I have said that Vikkeri came to Boylu and frantic has convicted me as braggart and visionary. However, in spite of absurdity of my prank, this not at all was deprived foundations by daydream since five times month later I was in Damascus, but after else year became de facto his(its) governor.
Vikkeri I have disillusionned, but I caused the irritation beside it.
He knew that beside me was not a military formation, and found my activity by political absurdity. I was known that he experienced soldier, necessary our deal and however shown get fat blindness in respect of his(its) potential. The Arabs hardly have not tolerated the defeat because of неразумия european adviser, which at all could not understand that rebellion this not war. Really, it
carried sooner peace nature, possible, being than-that like общенациональной of the strike. The Association семитов, the total idea, armed prophet carried unlimited possibilities in itself. Under experienced managament speech could go not that about Damascus, but also about Konstantinopole, which really capitulated in 1918.
CHAPTER 24
At dawn following day, certified that "Harding" successfully debarks десант, I сошел on coast to be met with sheik YUsufom, and has caught him(it) at moment, when he helped its police bodies from tribe биаша, frightened to villagers and people old Mavlyuda on fast hand to raise the barricade at the end main streets. He has told me that in the morning fifty wild mules were released with nave without cause, bridle and turned gray. Due to sooner cast of the die, rather then art teamster, their manage to drive away on market area. Output from there now safely overlapped, and animals will remain there, different counter in slivers until Mavlyud, which they were intended, will not find in this muffle;deaden although some resemblance of the saddle workshop. This was a second party in полсотни mule for troop of the cavalries, but, fortunately, beside us as far back as YAnbo appeared the misgivings on this cause, and we stored on board "Hardinga" sufficient amount of the ropes and bits so commissaries on the market to afternoon were once again opened, but caused damage was paid.
I went to camp Feysala, engulfed indescribable put. Some племенам issued the month salary; all got the food ration for eight days; rolled up and put the tents and heavy property. Went the last preparations to dash through desert. I уселся and became вслушиваться in staff talks. Faiz el-Huseyn, бедуинский sheik, turkish representative, chronicler to armenian carnage, now secretary; Nesib el-Bekri, landowner from Damascus, taken Feysala in Syrias, run from its country with mortal condemnation; the brother Nesiba Themselves -- graduate of the legal school, now assistant treasurer; SHefik el-Eyr -- former journalist, now assistant of the secretary, white-faced коротышка, cunning, talked шепотком, honest patriot, but in the private life pervert and as such simply repugnant colleague -- here is in what society I turned out to be.
Hasan SHaraf, staff doctor, noble person, denoted not simply life, but also all their own money to arabic deal, with extreme repulsion complained that his(its) vials turned out to be are smithereens, but medicine are dumped by heap in medicine box. To he was joined SHefik with word: "did Not expect you from uprising the comfort?", and we laughed a little on contrast of their manners with miserable position. In like frantic circumstance trivial humour outweighed whole world exquisite острословия.
At night we with Feysalom discussed the detail lain ahead transition. The First stage was small -- before Semny, where pit in palm grove teemed water. There lay ahead to choose, what way to follow further, but do this possible was only on return scout with report about that, there is in weir rain water. Before the following pit went the straight line a road -- sixty miles without water on побережью that was too much for enormous mass our foot soldier.
Sosredotochivshayasya in Bir el-Vaheyde army counted five thousand one hundred riders on camel and before five thousand трехсот traveling on foot soldier with four mountain instruments Kruppa and десятком machine gun, for transfer which we disposed the тремястами an восемьюдесятью pack camel. The Whole completing was pared before minimum and remained to be distant from taken beside turk standard. The Appearance was appointed to eighteenth January, right after полудня, and work Feysala was finished strictly to dinner. Our group shown itself
rather merry company: Fey-fat itself, afforded little are weakened after strenuous work at responsible period of training, Abdeli Kerim, never differed by big gravity, sheriff Dzhabar, Nasib and Themselves, SHefik, Hasan SHaraf and ya. After dinner have packed the tent, and we will go to its been situated on circle already ed and under saddle, коленопреклоненным camel, each of which kept for cause slave. The Drummer expected signal for back of the commander of the bodyguards Dahila, seven or eight has once knocked in its kettledrum, and all around died down. We have rushed взор on Feysala. He rose with its ковра, having returned last dictations Abdeli Kerimu, grasped the hand for both onions turned gray, rest the knee in side of the camel and aloud pronounce: "will Yes help you Allah!" The Slave has released the camel, and that jerk rose with knees. Feysal перекинул through his(its) back left leg, one moving the hand has straightened under itself sexes бурнуса and уселся in saddle.
Has Not haved time to the camel Feysala to do the first step, as we вскочили in turned gray, camels of the retinue at once rose on legs under roar several the most impatient then rest kept quiet, saving value, either as as one should well trained animal. Only some young male or simply unmannerly could заворчать on move, but not a single respecting itself bedouin on such camel will not sit since this ворчание can or wake him(it) in the night, or issue at moment of the sneak attack from duck blind. With the first sharp step camel we quickly перекинули of the leg through front onions turned gray and caught the cause to control our racer. Having Taken a look at Feysala, we have turned to him heads camel and compressed their shoulder barefoot leg while they do not выстроились in one line. Has Drived up Ibn Dahili, was looked over, has delayed the glance toward motion and has briefly ordered the агейлам be reconstructed in wing by length in two hundred -- three hundred yards on both parties, nearly вплотную camel for camel. The Manoeuvre was executed immediately and in accuracy.
In count;calculate;list these агейлов were an inhabitants Nedzhda, youths from Anayzy, Buraidy or Russa, served on few years on a contract in regular cavalry on camel. The Young glorious boys from sixteen before twenty five years, большеглазые, merry, got some formation, неглупые, with many-sided interest -- excellent travelling companions. Amongst they seldom got the unpleasant type. Even on rest, when person majority east people look faded and lifeless, these lad did not forfeit its briskness and attractiveness. They spoke on exquisite flexible arabic language and held several mannered, often even smart. Defined by town education cleverness and prudence allowed him to control itself and comply with the chief without some докучливых instruction. Their father traded the camel, they with infancy accompanied them whilst in transit and as a result now found the road in desert instinctive, as bedouins, but characteristic him several decadent softness did their soft, tolerant to roughnesses and physical punishment that in the east is an external certificate дисциплинированности. They differed the aptitude to submissiveness, but on its nature were a soldier, under beginning accustomed commander foughted courageously and with wit.
Since агейлы were not an племенем, beside them was not a mortal enemies that allowed him liberally to move in desert. The deal were караванное In their hand and domestic trade. The Incoms in desert were modest, but sufficient to not to yield to the temptation to leave for border, in more comfortable terms of the lifes. Vahhabity, adherent фанатичной moslem heresy, have obtruded their own strict rules careless and civilized Kasimu. In Kasime was little кофеен, much prayers and post, no tobacco, no flirtation with woman, no silk cloths, gold(en) and silver cord on headdresses and other decorations. All were by force pious and emergency prudish.
In Central Arabia such periodic ascent ascetic верований with interval a little centuries less was a natural phenomenon. Always adherent that or other religious direction considered that верования their соседей are littered суетными by surges, which become to be wicked in fevered imagination preacher. They rose once again and once again, have posessed the shower and body of the people of any tribe, but were afterwards split on small sects, having faced town семитами, merchant and сластолюбцами. In term of the town comfort new верования истаивали and escaped, like water at low tide or being replaced timeses of the year moreover each next ascent carried in itself семена of the fast death from overweening rectitude.
No doubts in that that they will inevitably return until suit reasons -- sun, the moon, wind, acting in emptiness opened space, not перестанут uncontrolled have slow, not touched civilization wit inhabitants to deserts.
However in that afternoon агейлы thought not about Allah, but about us, and when Ibn Dahili divorced them in shift to the right and left chain, they ardent were equal in new formation. Have Once again thundered the drums, and ехавший in right wing poet has delayed the piercing canto, where was whole one verse about Feysale and about that joy, which he endows us in Vedzhe. Attentively heed to him right wing has caught the canto and has sung the verse in chorus once, and another, and the third, with pride, self-satisfaction and taunt. However previously than they have haved time to to begin the verse in the fourth once, poet of the left wing has aloud sung its return improvisation, pouring out else more ardent feeling. The Left wing has met his(its) approving roar under thunder once again зазвучавших drum, standard-bearer расчехлили their own enormous crimson flags, and the whole retinue -- right, left and the centre -- грянула united regiment in chorus:
Has Forfeited I Gallium, Rome has lost, Britain threw aflame, But worse whole that, besides, Lalage not to return to me...* --
[* The Translation YUzefovich, from "Canto roman центуриона". The Name Lalage (греч. "болтушка") unoriginal from XXII odes 1-y books Goraciya. (Note per.) *]
have only lost they not Britain, but Nedzhd, and womans Maabdy, and unknown, what future expected them on way from Dzhiddy in Suec. And all this was a good song, with clear rhythm, which so liked the camel that they have lowered the heads, have extended to necks and dreamy зашагали broader, swing back and forth in tact tunes until fell silent the song.
In that day transition for them was light since went they on hard sandy declivity long пологих dunes, absolutely nacked unless consider rare вкраплений feeble shrubbery in glen yes sickly palms in moistened low-lying area. Later, already on extensive plain, to us not hurry have drived up from somewhere on the left two riders to greet Feysala. The First of them I knew: this was dirty, old, purblind Muhammed Ali el-Beydavi, emir Dzhuheyny, the second looked several strange. When he approached, I have discerned on him under raincoat form colour khaki and silk main kerchief, powerfully gone down awry. He has raised the head, and I have seen red peelled person Niyukomba with weary eye, with sharply outlined ртом and expressive mellow smile on lip. He has arrived in Wit Ledzh this in the morning and, having heard that we have right before emerged, has grasped the most fast horse of the sheik YUsufa and jumped the вдогонку for us.
I have offered Niyukombu its spare camel and was caused represent his(its) Feysalu, which he greeted as old school buddy. Both have immediately left with head in discussing the current problems, were changed by offers, entered in disputes and quick as lightning formed up the further plans. The Reaction Niyukomba was instant; invigorating freshness of the day, yes and most lifes, either as accompanied armies good luck, added the march inspired ascent, and us literally распирало the foretaste glad future.
We passed Guvashiyu with негустой by palm grove and without labour moved on лавовому to field, which jaggies were filled sand just so to their smooth, but not to give the leg to mire. All over from beneath sand emerged the tops the most high zooming lavas. The Hour later we unexpectedly подошли to гребню, torn off by sandy unset, steep, extensive and it is enough smooth that allowed to name his(its) sandy. For he spread the extensive splendid valley, as if paved by round pebble. That was Semna, and now our road will go downwards, on terrazzo, поросшим palm.
Upstairs, the wind blew us in back, but on day of the valley was much quietly and heat under protection big sandy гряды. Sometime thereabouts must was be and water, and we happened to on advice our main conductor Abdeli Kerima to stop before return scout, вышедших onward for searching for yam with rain water. We passed else four hundred yard on valley until turned out to be from rain промоин on the safe side. Feysal has mildly patted on neck of its camel, that was lowered on lap under hard rustle of the pebble.
The Hedge-rice расстелил for us rug, and we together with the other sheriff were situated on him, changing fun while we boilled coffee.
I told Feysalu about greatness Ibragima-pashas, вождя милли-kurds in North Mesopotamii. When he happened to to go to march, his(its) women(woman) rose before dawning and, noiseless stepping on tight strained fabrics tents, removed stretching, other inwardly deleted the racks, cleaned them, packed and навьючивали on camel. Then they disappeared, but pasha awoke one on its bed under opened by sky though at night lay in rich tents.
He rose not hurry and saws coffee sitting on ковре. Hereon brought the horses, and all left to new place of the camp. If whilst in transit he wanted to drink, he snapped the finger, having stretched hand aside servants, and person, have charge of coffee, drived up to him with ready dishes and with roasting pan, bolted on copper bracket turned gray that tax cup hot coffee on move, not breaking rate of the motion. At hour sunset in spread tents already expected the women(woman), either as on the eve at night.
The Day was dull; this was shown us with Niyukombom so strange after endless solar days that we, walking, how much nor watched itself under legs, as well as have not been able to understand, where disappeared our shade.
Feysal has written from Semny letter to twenty five chieftains племен ticket, ховейтат and бени-атия, in which reported that will soon be with its army in Vedzhe and that they must see this. Muhammed Ali vividly откликнулся and since nearly all our soldiers were from his(its) tribe, has rendered the greater help in organizations troop and in explanation of the particularities route завтрашнего of the approach. Sent on quest of water scouts returned. They have found two small водоема on coast road, it is enough removed one from the other.
After detailed cross questions scout we have solved to send four troops on this road, but five others through hills: we considered that so sooner and безопаснее, than under any other variant, shall get to Abu Zereybat.
The Choice route was hard, since our informers from tribe муса джухейна helped us bad. All looked so, as if for they did not exist the units of the measurement of time less than полсуток, and they did not see the differences between spen and day transition, yes and that could form in their presentation from poles before sixteen hours, depending on moods of the people and camel. The Communication between subdivisions was is also labored, ибо often under hand did not turn out to be nor one person, умевшего to read and write. The Delays, bewilderment, hunger and thirst were a constant fcompanion(satellite) to this expeditions. The Whole this possible be avoid, be beside us time beforehand to study the routes. The Camels dispensed with stern already nearly three day, but soldiers passed last fifty miles on half of the gallon of water and without всякой of the food. However this
by no means has broken their spirit, and they nearly running ворвались in Vedzh, горланя canto охрипшими voice and performing on move different amusing stunts. However Feysal has noticed that one more hot afternoon in desert has broke their spiritual and physically.
When deal was made, we with Niyukombom left to sleep in tent, given us Feysalom in token person of the location. The Problem of transportation of our baggage was so important and so difficult that we, people in general well-to-do, however tried to travel in the same way, as one, could not carry with itself nothing over the most necessary so earlier beside me never was an own tent.
We have installed her(it) on most краю the breakaway, on scrap of the ground by width not more most tents so vertical declivity began near by peg straight, fixed valance of the entry.
In tent we have found sat on sex and expected us Abdeli Kerima and young sheriff of the tribe бейдауи, before most eye wrapped in main kerchief and raincoat, -- evening was cool, and since minute for minute could go the rain. He came to ask beside me mule with saddle and bridle. Impozantnyy type small mouths Mavlyuda, vested in puttee and breeches, as well as spectacle new animal on market in Wit Ledzhe распалили envy in him.
I used his(its) passion and has ed on that term that he will ask me about this, when we shall enter in Vedzh; he was agree and on this. We изнывали from desire to fall asleep, and he finally rose to уйти, but, already откинув valance door and accidentally устремив взор through valley, has seen that in rift and niche of the s adown and around us glowed the weak lights camp campfires been situated all over troop. He has caused me from tent that I have looked at this picture, has outlined the hand midair circle and with bitterness has ed: "We anymore tribes, we nation".
However, in his(its) voice sounded and pride since march on Vedzh was their the most largest fulfilment. For the first time on memories of the tribe his(its) men, with tax, with weapon and with spare of meal on two hundred miles, have abandoned its region and двинулись on someone else territory without any payment on богатые booty and not drived by debt of the blood revenge. Abdeli Kerim rejoiced that his(its) tribe has found this new ипостась -- spirit of the military service, but this and was distressed: after all main joy to lifes for he remained быстроногий camel, the most best weapon and sudden short foray on the neighbor's herd, participation in gradual achievement амбициозных integer Feysala did these joys all more available to person, responsible referring to its obligations.
CHAPTER 25
All morning poured the rain, and we with joy watched, as our spares of water were renewed. Enjoy the comfort of the tents in valley Semny was so pleasantly that we have postponed the appearance a.m.. When in the sky once again засияло the sun, we in freshness of the brightenned day двинулись the valley westward.
The First for us went агейлы. For them -- soldiers from tribe гуфа at the head with Abdeli Kerimom -- around seven hundred rider and else more foot soldier. They were dress;clad in all white, with greater main cotton wool kerchief in redden and turn black strip and, as знаменами, waved the green palm branch.
For they towered on its camel held in saddle much straight sheriff Muhammed Ali абу SHarayn, old patriarch with long climbing grey beard. His(its) three hundred rider were an ашрафами, from sort аяшей (джухейна), and were considered in folk sheriff though beside them and was not required for this written family. Under their black raincoat loomed rusty-red, выкрашенные by henna of the shirt, but on belt beside each hunged the sabre. For back beside each on croup of the camel sat the slave with rifle and dagger, whose duty was help the master in fighting, take care of his(its) camel and prepare in march meal. The Slaves, either as befitted the slave poor хозяев, were hardly close cloth. Their own strong
the black leg they firmly, as if mite, covered the мохнатые boca a camel to soften inevitable under such go;drive blows scrawny groats animal, but tatter their рубах, entwined in the manner of belt, rescued the thighs from contact with dirty side animal. Water in valley Semny possessed the characteristic a purgative, and manure our camel in that day by green mess flowed down upon their leg.
For ашрафами wavered midair crimson flag of our last troop bedouin, from tribe рифаа, under command Audi ибн Zuveyda, old flattering pirate, in due course robbed mission SHtotcingena and thrown seaborne under YAnbo together with his(its) radio station whole indian обслугу. It is Necessary to think, sharks neglected the radio station, but we have spent in vain much hours, trying find her(it) on day harbour. On Audi as before was long, богатая, nailling on fur german офицерская overcoat -- cloth, little approached to здешнему climate, but, as he loved to repeat, "splendid трофей". He had beside a thousand soldier, three fourth of them -- foot soldier. Zamykal pillar chief to artillery Rasim with four old крупповскими guns on pack mule, пребывавшими in the same condition, in what we have taken them from egyptian army.
Rasim, biting native Damascus, nearly hysterical roared with laughter in the most complex circumstance, but annoyed глядел исподлобья, when deal went well. In that day in our rows пронесся the alarm murmur since near by Melted jumped Abdulla el-Deleymi, commander пулеметного platoon, capable, clever, several surrface, but wholly nice officer, it is enough professional, whose loved amusement was find and irritate in heart Rasima some незаживающую canker until explosive wave of his(its) malice will not cover Feysala or me.
Today I помог him in this with smile, reported Rasimu that we shall move with interval in quarter of the day of the way with эшелонированием on sort племен. Rasim took a look at shrubbery, washed by rain, dripped which still sparkled in ray закатного sun, in red зареве lowered in waves under ceiling cloud, has translated the look at dick crowd bedouin, chased after for bird, зайцами, gigantic lizard and jerboa, but that and simply friend for the other, and sullen agreed, having noticed that soon and itself will change in дикаря and эшелонируется on полдня way frontal and behind, only dispose of flies.
When we left with bivouac, someone from turned gray wounded the зайца whereupon Feysal has forbidden this disorderly dangerous hunt, and now зверьков, выпрыгивавших from beneath hoof camel, muffled the stick. There was drolly look at suddenly appeared hurly-burly in formation: rose the shout, several camels sharply were rejected(deviate) from the total rate, but their riders jumped off to the ground and has become enraged beat the вожделенную living things. Feysal rejoiced that вдоволь meat appeared in ration soldier, but resented in shower that shameless джухейнцы eat the lizards and jerboa.
We went on even song amongst prickly tree, which were here large and strong, afterwards left to seashore and have went on to north on broad, well beaten down egyptian pilgrim to road. She went in fifty yards from edge of the coast, and we could move on her, выстроившись in thirty or fourty sing ranks.
From hills protruded on four-five miles old layer полузасыпанной sand of the lava, formed cape. The Road went stright through it, but on turned to us declivity loomed several глинистых platform, on which in the last ray reached with west of the light shone the quite intelligent puddles of water. This was provided place of the place to sleep, and Feysal gave the sign to stop. We сошли with camel, and who sprawlled on song, who simply sowed;sown, rest left before supper seaward, in which плюхнулись, as fish, a hundreds screeching, spatterring nacked mans all existing on the ground colour skins.
The Supper we expected anxiously: someone from джухейнцев has p.m. wounded for Feysala gazelle. Her(its) meat was shown us вкуснее any other in desert since, howsoever was выжжена the ground and сухи pit, it was fat and juicy.
The Food has justified our waiting. We with Niyukombom early went to tent with sensation of gravity in belly, however have hardly haved time to to sprawl to fall asleep, as us have raised the noise from wave of wild excitement, rolled on rows:
the shots, shouts, crush of people come off with tether camel.
Some winded slave has stuck the head under valance of the tent with shout: "News, news! Eshref-бея have caughted!"
I вскочил and, pushing aside crowd soldier, rushed to tent Feysala, already surrounded friends and servant. Near by Feysalom sat with victory type seemed unnatural collected amongst the general excitement Rajah -- bedouin, arrived with order Abdully to emerge on Vadi Ais. Feysal shone, and eye his(its) the tear to joys, when he rose with place and, overlaying agitated voice, has yelled me: "Abdulla has seized Eshref-бея!" And then I have understood that has occurred great and glad event.
Eshref was a sad known adventurer from второразрядных turkish politician. In youth this was a present highwayman, earned the living in vicinity of the native Smyrna, but since year he changed in revolutionary, but when his(its) have finally grasped, Abdeli Gamid has exiled him(it) in Medinu for five years, changed in one utter scandal. First he sat there for lattice, but at one beautiful day выломал window and run to SHihadu, drunkard-emir, жившему in suburb of the Avals.
SHihad, as usually, quarrelled with turk, has given him sanctum; however Eshref, finding similar life too boring, has plagerized beside its master породистую mare and left to turkish barrack. Before them on parade ground officer, son of his(its) enemy-governor, drilled the mouth a gendarme. Eshref has at a gallop flown up to to him, перекинул through saddle and escaped, previously than has haved time to to regain consciousness stunned police body.
The having Declared captive its ass and having ed on it thirty round loaf of breads of bread and wineskins with water, Eshref has drived him(it) before itself in uninhabited Dzhebeli Ohod. To return the, pasha has given Eshrefu liberty under honored word and has delivered him one hundred pounds. That has bought on these money camel, tent and wife and a nomadic life amongst племен up to revolution младотурков. Afterwards he once again came up for Konstantinopole and became the mercenary murderer Envera. His(its) facilities were вознаграждены job titles of the surveyor on deals refugee in Makedonii, and after year he returned from there with stable incom from large manor.
With beginning of the war he went to Medinu with money and letter from sultan to arabian нейтралам to adjust the communication with insulated by turkish garrison in Yemen. On the first stage of its journey happened so that in region Heybara пересеклись the way Eshrefa and Abdully, moving in Vadi Ais. The People Eshrefa has delayed several arabs Abdully, guarded camel during noonday halt, That have said that belongs to to tribe хетеймов and that army Abdully -- caravan with cargo for Mediny.
Eshref has ordered to bring the arab to him for допроса, one of they have released, and that has told Abdulle about soldier, met amongst hills.
Bewildered Abdulla has sent in exploring several soldiers on camel. Hereon did not pass and minute, as before he донесся the sound an пулеметной queue. He has solved that turk has sent to head off him flying group, and has ordered its rider with move their attack. That on all скаку, понеся the small losses, have rumpled the пулеметчиков and swept the turk. Eshref, having lost camel, on foot отошел on hiltop. Abdulla has fixed the award in a thousand of pounds one, his(its) will grasp, and else before coming the darkness Eshrefa has found, wounded in hot fight and has seized the sheriff Fauzan scarlet-Harit.
Twenty thousand pounds gold(en) have found Under Eshrefe, богатую cloth, expensive gift, some being of interest papers, but in вьюках on camel -- cargo of the rifles and revolver. Abdulla has written the causing letter Fahri-pasha with report on this seizure and at night same day has nailled him(it) to toppled on rails telegraph pole, when went the railway, without hindrance continuing move to Vadi Aisu. The Rajah has left his(its) peacefully repose on очередном halt and has arrived to us. His(its) message was for us double good luck.
Through crowd exulting soldier протиснулась the sorrowful figure имама. He has raised the hand, and immediately воцарилась the silence.
"Listen me", -- has ed he and has read the ode, written in honour of prominent event. The Sense her(its) was reduced to that that Abdulle powerfully повезло and that he was quickly glorified this feat then Feysalu glory was got debt, hard labors. The Ode was недурна already on one that that has deprived whole sixteen minutes, and Feysal одарил of the poet gold(en). And has here seen on belt of the Rajah dagger, richly decorated by jewels. That has mumbled that this dagger Eshrefa. Feysal threw him own dagger and has withdrewed the трофей to return finally his(its) colonel Uilsonu.
-- That my brother has said Eshrefu?
-- So-that you answer the hospitality? -- has repeated the Rajah of the word Abdully, has then transferred the answer Eshrefa: -- Rights I or not rights, I ready to fought before the end.
-- How much million have taken the arabs? -- choking, has wheezed old greedy Muhammed Ali, heard about that that beside Abdully hands on локти in enthralled золоте, which he handful will distribute the bedouin.
The Rajah all pestered the endless questions, and he wholly well-earned fell asleep the богатым person, than awoke in the morning that day since march Abdully on Ais did the position Mediny more reliable. Myurrey pressed on enemy in Sinae, Feysal approached to Vedzhu, Abdulla was found between Vedzhem and Medinoy, and turk in Arabia turned out to be have to go to the defence. The Bur marigold of our failures ended, and, глядя on our glad persons, camp beeped before dawning.
The following day we once again cheerfully set off in way. We have lunched, having done halt beside several small ponds in nacked valley, come down seaward from El Suhura -- groups from three unusual hills, granite bladder выпиравших from the ground outward. The Cool did this transition pleasing. Us were much, but we, two англичан, disposed the tent, in which could escape from all and remain in private. This was it is important since the most oppressing in desert -- need constantly to be on folk, when day and night hear all talks and see all, than concern with others. The Pulling part self-deception introduced to solitude about its usefulness, artificial acceptance самоутверждения. Our with Niyukombom solitude was tenfold спокойнее, than life on type beside all, but because of such barrier between leader and mass of the people suffered the deal.
Amongst arab did not exist no difference, neither traditional, nor natural, with the exclusion of unconditional confession authorities for some sheik, glorified by their own fulfilment. They spoke me that their chieftain can be only one, there is their food, carries their gown, whose level of living nothing does not distinguish him(it) from level of living rest, however he -- best from all due to perfection of its personalities.
In the morning we quickly двинулись to Abu Zereybatu under сиявшим in cloudless sky overheated sun, whose rays, as always, tore apart our eye, reflecting from polished sand and flint. The Road invisibly rose to sharp aired lime гребню, and before us was gradually opened dotted black gravel declivity, for which mile in eight westward, as we knew, was while unencountered us sea.
Having Stopped on short halt, we have felt the breathing lain ahead of big low-lying area sometime, but only around two hours of the day after we passed extensive denuding of basalt, before us were opened stretched on fifteen miles valley got free from hills Vadi Hamdh. The Delta растекшейся twenty sleeves yard occupied the big space on northwest. We were seen вдали dark bands, -- заросли of the shrubbery in no time washed by water riverbed now dry стариц, which zigzagged adown on plain, that disappearing, that once again появляясь into view for uneven edge of the hill and then растворяясь in нависшем on unencountered by sea solar mirage mile in thirty left of us. On that party Hamdha on plain steeply raised skyward its double top Dzhebeli Raali, look like gigantic hunchbacked beast with рассеченной in two by back.
Eye, become unaccustomed to from large devil of the relief, was opened majestic panorama -- delta parched yard, which on length transferred Tiger itself: the most largest valley to Arabia, for the first time mentionning Dauti, but hitherto not explored, with overhanging on Hamdhom beautiful, sharply outlined sky on background громадой Raalya.
In foretaste what-that unusual we started to come down on gravel declivity, on which all more often appeared the clearings of the herb, and finally at three o'clocks fell into valley itself. The Riverbed yard, width beside mile, поросло the crump of the shrubbery "асля", under which wind has cheated the sandy hillocks by height in several feets. Sand this was dirty from cut his(its) layers of the frail dry clay, the last witnesses былых high water. Sand between them was variegated вкраплениями засоленного, rotted through ила, and in it with crunch crumbly liver were ruined legs our camel. They raised the thick clubs of dust, seemed else more thick in blinding sunshines, filled dead air valleys.
Because of this dust back ranks did not know, where him to go, hillocks started to get all more often, but riverbed yard was split on labyrinth small стариц, which of year per annum left water after itself. We did not pass else and partway on valley, but she already whole got dark the зарослями high bush, разросшихся on parties these бугров and intertwined with each other dry, dusty and frail, as aging bone, branch. We have selected the hung down embellishment our bright saddle вьюков to not to tear them about hard branches, плотнее were wrapped in raincoats, have bent the heads, оберегая eye, and hurricane dashed through заросли straight.
The Blinded eye and rammed gulp dust, whipped on person of the branch, discontented ворчание camel, shouts and laughter soldier transformed our march in outstanding adventure.
CHAPTER 26
We not yet дошли before far-end of the valley, when utter sand was changed глинистым by soil, in which under sun sparkled the surface of the deep pond -- eighty yards by length and around fifteen widths, pervaded brown water. This is паводковый pond, ed after bottling Abu Zereybata, was a purpose of our transition. We passed else several yards through the last rows of the shrubbery and found oneself on open north coast, where Feysal has defined the place for camp. This was huge, sandy-кремнистая, got to most foots Raalya plain, on which has was enough place for all army of the Arabia. We have stopped the camel, slaves their развьючили and have installed the tents. We passed in the end of the pillar to look at that, as mules, which on length of the whole day transition tormented the thirst, dashed together with soldier in pond, with enjoyment sprinkling fresh water. The Good luck was and abudance fuel; all over already blazed the campfires that was very apropos: on the ground already rose the feet on eight evening mists, our woolly raincoats задубели, complitly covered бусинками осевшей on their ворсе grow, and under they became coldly.
The Night was dark and безлунной, but on layer of the mist brightly shone the stars. We were going to on low бугре for tent and looked at rocked white waves sea mist. On he towered the островерхие of the top of the tents and high spirals таявшего in вышине smoke, occasionly translucent from below, when in some from campfires brighter flamed up the flame, as if whipped by uneven drone to invisible army. Old Auda ибн Zuveyd with serious type has corrected me, when I have said him about this: "This not army, this whole world moves on Vedzh". I was glad his(its) remark: for the sake of that exactly to arouse such a feeling, we and set off in difficult march with this enormous crowd of the people.
In that evening to we have began timidly to approach the people of the tribe ticket to swear on faithfulness Feysalu: valley Hamdha was a border of their grounds. In their count;calculate;list was attest the respect Feysalu and Hamid are-Rifada with multiple retinue. He has said that his(its) cousin Suleyman-pasha, sovereign chief of the tribe is found in Abu Adzhadzhe, in fifteen miles севернее us, desperately trying create the public opinion, which has allowed perfect the life for the future. Then without any warning and without pomp was a sheriff Nasir from Mediny. Feysal dashed him toward, has concluded in embraces and has represented us.
Nasir produced the beautiful impression, in многом совпавшее with that that we about he heard, and in многом of justified our waiting. He was a forerunner of the rebellion, harbinger of the motion Feysala, person, who has done the first shot in Medine and which was fated to do the last shot in Muslimie, under Aleppo, at day, when turk has charged armistice; and from the very beginning before the end about he spoke only good.
He was a brother мединского emir SHihada. Their family derived from Huseyna, younger from детей Ali, and they single amongst descendant Huseyna were considered ашрафами, rather then саадами. They were an шиитами with timeses Kerbalya and respect used in Hidzhaze as the first persons after emir of the Mecca.
Nasir was an amateur garden, but his(its) share from childhood was a war, which he itself never wanted. Now he went twenty seventh years. His(its) low, broad forehead beautifully matched with voluptuous eye, but through short подстриженную turn black beard x-rayed unexpressive, but pleasing mouth and small chin. He was found here already two months, restraining Vedzh, and on his(its) last information this in the morning combat safeguarding turkish верблюжьего body отошло with our roads on main defensive position.
In the morning following day we have got up late to be going to with power for long hours important negotiations. Greater their part Feysal stand;bear on their own shoulder. Nasir helped him as the second person in command, but beside sat the brother Beydavi, ready to render him necessary help. The Day was solar and warm, threatenning to afternoon by heat; we with Niyukombom went on camp, looked at soldier, on водопой camel and on unceasing crowd new visitor. When sun already rose high, enormous cloud of dust has in the east heralded about approach of some big group. We moved back to tent and have seen drived up церемониймейстера Feysala Mirzuka el-Tiheymi, look like mouse острослова. For dence forest of importance he conducted for emir of the people of its clan light at a gallop. They have crushed on us cloud of dust:
the vanguard from twelve sheiks, with sabre drawn везших enormous red and white flags, described the circles around our tents. On us did not produce the impressions neither itself their гарцевание, nor mares, possible therefore that they disturbed us.
Around полудня have arrived Vulid Muhammed Harb and riders from battalion Ibn SHefii -- three hundred under command of the sheik Saliha and Muhammeda ибн SHefii. Muhammed was простоватым коренастым человечком of the years fifty five, здравомыслящим and eager. He has quickly conquered itself reputation in arabic army, since does not гнушался no work. His(its) people were a rabble from Vadi YAnbo, landless and rootless, yes townsfolk from YAnbo, not burdened by hereditary arrogance. They were
the покладистыми amongst our troop, not to count towards softie агейлов, which were too good to their possible was transform in unskilled laborer.
We lagged behind already for two days from graphics of the motion, coordinated with the fleet, and Niyukomb has came to a conclusion, not expecting all, leave this in the night in Habban. There he must was be met with Boylom and explain him that we shall be late on appointment with "Hardingom", but were pleased if he smog to return here at night twenty fourth, when shall approach we, extremely needing for water. He could also agree on delay sea десанта before twenty fifth to save the scheduled interaction.
When has got dark, came the letter from Suleymana Rifady together with sent in gift Feysalu camel, which that must was or receive a visit at sign of the friendly location, or back in sign of feud. Feysala has brushed against this gesture, and he was ed on its inability to understand this measly person. "But all that's why that he eats fish, -- has noticed Nasir. -- From fish пухнет the head so he so itself and conducts". Siriycy and месопотамцы, people from Dzhiddy and YAnbo, aloud burst out laughing, showing hereunder that do not separate the prejudice a highlander, considering that there is hens, egg and fish -- disgrace for men. Feysal with pretended gravity has objected: "You insult us, we too love fish". Other запротестовали: "We refuse from it, and will yes help us Allah", Mirzuk to change the subjects, has noticed: "Suleyman -- essence unnatursl itself, nor fish nor meat".
With early morning we three hours moved in disturbances downstream Vadi Handa. Afterwards valley has turned to the left, and we will quickly go on empty futile terrain, where not for that was be grapped glance. There was coldly: in person blew the strong north wind. On march we all time heard the прерывистые peals on the part of Vedzha and were afraid that fleet, потеряв patience, began the operation without us. However though наверстать lost days was impossible, we continued the way forced маршем, crossing one for the other influxes Hamdha. The Plain was изрезана these dry riverbed, small, direct and nacked, which was so much and pattern which was such cunning, as жилок in broad sheet some tree. Finally we once again returned to Hamdhu, this time in Curia, and though on his(its) clayey day stood one dirt, have solved to split here camp.
While we were situated, amongst soldier has occurred sudden excitement. In east direction were seen пасшиеся camels, and the most eager from джухейнцев rushed there, have seized the camel and have provided in camp. Infuriated Feysal yelled that they stopped, but they were are too excited to his(its) listen. Then he has grasped the carbine and выстрелил in nearest soldier, that in awe вывалился from turned gray, and rest happened to to stop. Feysal велел bring them to itself, has knocked off the ringleader by stick and велел pen in roundup stolen camel and that, on which went the thiefs, before full count, but has then sent the animal back, to their owner-ticket. If he this has not done, джухейнцы were involved in own war with племенем ticket -- as we hoped, our завтрашними ally, and this has delayed our advancement for Vedzh. Our success depended from such trivialities even.
The Following in the morning we left on seeshore and at four o'clocks подошли to Habbanu. To our relief, either as was expected, "Harding" was already on place and unloaded water. Though shallow bay and did not give be played large wave, anxious sea did work a boat dangerous. We have not forgotten about mule, but remained water has returned the пехотинцам. But this night was difficult, and crowd suffered from thirst of the people crowded in ray searchlight near reservoir, hope on reception of the spare portion of water if sailors to solve to make one more flight.
I rose aboard and heard that attack with epidemic deathes was organized on plan as if land army already was on place: Boyl was afraid that turk уйдут if he промедлит.
In that day, when we дошли before Abu Zereybata, turkish governor Ahmed Tevfik-fighting addressed to garrison with word about need to protect Vedzh before the last dripped the shelters, but itself at nightfall sowed;sown on camel and run with several riders to railway. Two hundred remained foot soldier got ready selfless to do its duty, foughting against десанта, but correlation enemy formed three to one, but sea instruments were too heavy to it is correct to use the defensive position. As we became known on "Hardinge", fighting did not yet end, when city Vedzh already was an occupied sailor and arab Saliha.
CHAPTER 27
Good to conduct inspired the army, which soon after полуночи beginning to seep on north. At dawn we have connected the different subdivisions in Vadi Mie, in twelve miles town южнее, and hereinafter advanced onward shipshape, meeting small diffused turk, from which only one group tried to render the short resistance. Ageyly were ordered to dismount, have took out of itself their own raincoats, main kerchief and shirts and continued the way nacked before belt, demonstrating its tanned body that, as they spoke, in the event of wounding leaves is reeked чистыми, yes and valuable cloth does not be subjected to the risk of the damage.
Commanded by them Ibn Dahili obtained the unquestioning obedience. They moved поротно, in open formation, with interval in four-five yards, with equal on the number mouth supports, trying use even bad protection if it met.
There was pleasantly look at чистых mans with brown skin in flooded sun to sandy valley with водоемом in the middle, filled by turquoise salty water. They moved for crimson flag, which carried ahead of pillar two staff standard-bearers, strictly rhythmic, making on six mph nearly, in dead to silence. Has Not sounded nor one shot while they approached, but afterwards rose on comb of the hill. So we have heard that whole work is made for us, and зашагали onward to see the city in hand of the boy Saliha, SHefii. He has told us that his(its) loss have formed nearly twenty killed, but later we have heard that one lieutenant of the british air forces was is mortally wounded during air exploring and one british sailor is wounded in leg.
The Managed battle Vikkeri was complacent, but I did not separate his(its) satisfactions. In my understanding any spare manoeuvre or shot, or loss were not only unnecessary expense of power and facilities, but also sin. I could not get used to with professional convictiom military in that that all successful actions are victory. The Insurgent were not a cannon fodders, as soldiers to regular army, this was our friends, entrusted our managament. But we managed rebellion not on the strength of national accesories to rebelled, but upon their invitation. Our people were a volunteer, plain folks, whose-that neighbour, relative, but each death -- personal grief for many in armies. Even with purely military standpoint this assault introduced me blunder.
Beside two hundred turks in Vedzhe was not neither transport facilities, nor provisions, and if their have left at rest, they through several days were have to surrender. If even manage to run, that and this did not cost the lifes and one arab.
Vedzh was we need as the basis for seizure of the railway, for the reason expansions of our front. The Pogroms and murder in city were meaningless.
Meantime city to be subjected to the terrifying destructions. Feysal warned the townsfolk about liing ahead assault and recommended or overtake him(it), подняв own rebellion, or уйти, but here veins mainly египтяне from Kuseyra, preferred us turk, and they have solved to wait the uncouplings. The People SHefii and tribe биаша have found the building, забитые valuable thing, and have sweeped away their is polished. They robbed the shops, broke even opened door, frisked each room, broke open the coffers and buffets, wrested with meat all constipations, вспарывали each матрац and pillow in quest of treasure, but projectiles ship орудий unwound the enormous holes in wall all any significant buildings and buildings.
Our main by difficulty was an unloading on coast провианта.
"Fox" has sunk all local lighters and весельные of the boat, but nothing look like quay in city was not and in mention, but cute "Harding" itself fell into harbour (which was it is enough ample, but too short) and has delivered our cargo on own motorboat. We have raised the tired worker a command SHefii, and with awkward help these tired people to us to manage переправить in city it is enough provisions for urgent necessities. The Townsfolk returned hungry, infuriated condition, in which turned out to be their building, and in revenge started to steal all that was not protected, even вспарывали built ashore bags with rice, is taken in with itself how much could in задранных lap. Feysal has corrected the position, fixed by governor of the city Mavlyuda. That carried in Vedzh their own experienced rider and for one day mass arrest and fast punishments have convinced all that with disorder follows to finish. Hereon Vedzh замер in awe.
In the first several days, before that else as I went to Cairo, became the obvious profit from our striking march. Beside arabic motion anymore was an enemy in West Arabia, and threat of the ruin passed. Worrisome рабегский question has fallen off, but we have studied the main rules an бедуинской wars. When are looked over back with positions of the new understanding, loss in Vedzhe two groups of ten of these poor fellows already does not seem such terrible. And under coldblooded estimation, possible, follows to acknowledge impatience Vikkeri was justified.
The Book 3. BLOW ON RAILWAY
The Chapters with 28 on 38. Taking us Vedzha has produced the desired effect on turk, which abandoned to advancement on Mecca in favour of passive defence. Mediny and her(its) railway.
Our specialists developed the plans of the hold up on them.
The German understood the danger of the encirclement and convinced Envera to return the order about immediate evacuation Mediny. Sir Archibalid Myurrey asked us to support the constant combat influence for the reason destruction retreating enemy.
Feysal has quickly declared about its readiness hereto, and I left to Abdulle to adjust the interaction with him.
Whilst in transit I заболел, and when lay one, deprived to information, I did not remain nothing other, what speculate about campaigns. The Cogitation has convinced me in that that our practice in recently outstripped the theory.
On recovery I little has done in respect of railway, but returned in Vedzh with new idea. I tried to obtain that to with they agreed and others, as follows take the tactician of the deployment as the cardinal principle of the conduct action and reading sermon before each battle. They preferred limited and direct problem of the seizure Mediny.
Then I have solved to go to Akabu to feel its theory.
CHAPTER 28
In Cairo newly made authorities promised the gold, rifles, mule, big amount machine gun and mountain gun, but the last we as well as does not дождались. The Question about artillery instrument was a constant headache. On hilly terrain, under full bad roads, field instruments were us nor to that, but mountain artillery british army did not dispose unless consider the indian десятифунтовые of the gun suitable only against лучников and their darts. Beside Bremona in Suece was several best шестидесятипяток with algerian payment, but he considered their mainly as lever of attraction of the union troopses in Arabia. When we have asked to send their us, with payment or without them, he has answered that, first, arabs will bad pertain to his(its) artilleryman and, secondly, will not be able it is correct to contain the instruments. His(its) price was a british crew for Rabega, but we this price to pay could not.
He was afraid to do the arabic army an сильнее -- and his(its) possible was understand, -- but here is attitude british government was incomprehensibly. It does not выказывало neither недоброжелательности -- gave all that we asked, nor скаредности -- material and money help arab has превысила ten million pounds. But carried to fury superiority enemy in the course of many operation and collapses in others on single, and besides purely technical, reason. We could not suppress the turkish artillery because of that that дальнобойность turkish орудий exceed our on three or four thousand yard. Fortunately, under the end Bremon pal victim to own foolishness, having kept whole year to their own batteries without deal in Suece. His(its) successor major Kazi has ordered to them in our dictation, and exactly with their help we fell into Damascus. During the whole this lost year of the instrument, got on eye each visitted in Suece arabic officer, were an unassailable certificate hostility frenchman to arabic motion.
We have got greater support our deal on behalf of Dzhafara-pashas, baghdad officer in turkish army. After exemplary service in german and turkish army Enver has chosen him(it) for organization of the call recruit in Sheik el-Senusi. He was delivered there on submarine, has hacked together the not bad troop, having taken people from wild племен, and has demonstrated the excellent tactical abilities in two battles with британцами. Afterwards he has fallen into captivity and was comprised in каирскую fortress together with other военнопленными officer. Once upon a time in the night he has solved to run, having come down on rope from piece of the cut blanket in moat. But she has not born the loads, at fall Dzhafar has damaged the ankle and was схвачен in helpless condition. From hospital he was отпущен under honored word, having paid cost of the blanket. Once upon a time he has read in some arabic newspaper about uprising the sheriff, about execution turk his(its) friends, the known arabic nationalist, and has understood that foughted not on that party.
Of course, Feysal about he heard and wanted that he became the главнокомандующим regular troopses, which improvement was now our main by problem. We knew that Dzhafar was one of that little of the people, whose reputations and the personal quality it is enough to unite the hard to get along with elements in united army. However this lacked the emir Huseynu. He was an old persons with narrow glance, and he did not like the сирийцы and месопотамцы: free Damascus must Mecca. He abandoned to services Dzhafara, and Feysalu happened to to take him(it) on its awe and risk under its liability.
In Cairo were found Hogart and George Lloyd, as well as Storrs and Dids and much old friends. Vastly enlarged and circle of the arabian well-wishers. In armies of our share grew on measure that, as we demonstrated the advantages of our presence.
Linden Turned white firm remained other and клялся that all deal in arabic obsession. Sir Archibalid Myurrey has suddenly understood that with arab foughted more turkish troopses, than with him, and began to recall that always favorably pertained to rebellion. The Admiral Uimmis expressed such readiness to us to help, either as in difficult for us days under Rabegom. Sir Redzhinalid Uingeyt, sovereign commissar in Egypt, was a complacent success of the deal, in protection which emerged the year. I regretted of this his(its) complacency since Makmagon, undertaken real risk, was before that just, as first successes застрельщика were marked. However this hardly was a mistake Uingeyta.
While I studied all these circumstance, on I was crushed unpleasant surprise. The Colonel Bremon has rung me to felicitate on taking Vedzha, has declared that this confirms his(its) confidence in my military talent and allows to hope on my help in expansion of our success. He wanted to occupy англофранцузскими power, at the fleet, Akabu. He has emphasized importance Akaby, single port, remained beside turk on Red sea, additionally nearest to Suecu and to Hidzhazskoy railway, on lion flank биэршебской to armies, and has offered to occupy his(its) mixed crew, which could advance upwards on Vadi Itmu for devastating blow on Maanu. He even began to spread about nature of the soil.
I have said him that know Akabu with brought time and his(its) plan seems me unfulfilled with technical standpoint.
We could occupy the coast of the bay, but there our power, being in such disadvantage position, as on галлиполийском coast, become dartboard of the artillery fire with coast hills, but these granite bluffs by height in a thousand feet impregnable for troopses with heavy arms.
The Mouting passes there represent itself exceedingly narrow дефиле, assault or protection which обошлись too dearly. To my mind, Akabu, importance which he values absolutely it is correct, but can be, and underrates, better take arabic irregular power, come down with mountains изнутри territory, unassisted fleet.
Bremon has not said (though I this knew and without it) that he wanted to disembark in Akabe for the reason outwit arabic motion, having collected mixed power (as in Pa-run) so that they were limited Arabia, and force their increase the actions against Mediny. The Arabs still were afraid that alliance of the sheriff with us was founded on secret agreement on treachery of their deal eventually so invasion христиан meant acknowledgement of these misgivings and подорвало cooperation. In turn and I have not said Bremonu (though he was aware of this and without me) that intending to destroy his(its) plans and in a short time bring the arab in Damascus. I amused this childish соперничество vitally important intentions, but he has finished the talk, having declared threatenning tone that in any event goes to Vedzh to offer its plan Feysalu.
I have not warned Feysala that Bremon politician. In Vedzhe was found Niyukomb, with which we problem Akaby did not discuss. Feysal nothing do not know nor about terrain, surrounding Akabu, nor about local племенах. The Empathy and ignorance could bring about that that he favourable will take this offer. I was shown by best decision to hurry there to prevent such upshot of the deal, in the same day in the afternoon I went to Suec and sailled whole night. Two days later, in Vedzhe, I have explained their own motives so when in ten days has arrived Bremon and has opened its heart, or a part him(it), Feysalu, his(its) tactics was returned him in perfected type.
The Frenchmans have begun with презента in the manner of poles kit automatic gun Gochkisa with instructor. This was a generous grant, but Feysal used the introduced possibility to ask Bremona to spread its kindness to battery rapid-firing mountain орудий in Suece, explicable that he has with regret left YAnbo, having moved in Vedzh since Vedzh, as is well known, much further from his(its) purposes -- Mediny, but that for it practically impossible to storm the turk, disposable french artillery, with rifle or with old gun, given him british army. His(its) people do not possess such technical knowledges to extract from old weapon advantage over modern. He happened to to use their own single advantage -- number and transportability, and he has declared that without essential renovation of the arms impossible to say, insofar затянется the present position on front.
Bremon tried to humulate value so required for хиджазской of the war орудий (with practical standpoint this was absolutely fair). But, has noticed he if Feysal has forced their own people to clamber on mountain like coachman's seat to blast the railway, with war was finished. Feysal, irritated this metaphore, insulted rumour of the arab, has looked over all six feets ухоженного bodies Bremona and has asked, did not happen him most be in козлином position. Bremon gallant returned to question about Akabe and about real danger for arab of the continuation to occupations Akaby turk. He persisted on that to англичан, disposable facility for action in any directions, have pressed for this operation. In answer Feysal has delivered him кроки of terrain for Akaboy (I have noted and its contribution to this sketch) and has ed some difficulties, connected with племенами, as well as with problem ливневых high water. Has Finished he that that after integer вороха orders, контрприказаний and bewilderments with union power in Rabege he has no no desires to address to сэру Archibalidu Myurreyu with request about new march.
Bremonu happened to to retire with honour, нанеся under the end purely парфянский blow on me, sat with biting smile: he has asked Feysala to persist that british armored vehicles, residing in Suece, were переправлены in Vedzh. But even this was a boomerang since they already left there! After his(its) care I returned in Cairo for safe beautiful week, during which gave their own best recommendations. Myurrey, which all were more biased to dispatch on Akabu таллибардинской of the crew, has approved my advices later, when I was voiced also against distracting blow. Then I went to Vedzh.
CHAPTER 29
The Life in Vedzhe was not deprived interest. First of all we have set in order camp. Feysal has placed their own tents (this was a commanding complex: dwelling, receiving, staff, гостевые, tents for servant) approximately in nice from seeshore, on edge of the coral salient, flap risen to whirlled breakaway, turned on orient and on south on extensive star-type valley, spread in глубь land from harbour. Soldier and бедуинские of the tent were placed group in sandy ray of this valley -- stars, and thereby more chilly high-altitude remained only on our hands, and we, inhabitants of the north, have found her(its) absolutely exciting, when at night thought with epidemic deathes breeze донес before us muted roar of the waves, weakened and remote, as if echo of the road noise of some deaf london small street.
Directly under us took seats агейлы -- thick group uneven placed tents. Southward from they stood the artillery Rasima, but near by her, one company, пулеметчики Abdully, whose tents выстроились the correct line, together with camel, clinging rows on exact уставном distance one from the other that did honour a professionalism officer. Further without observance of some order straight on the ground seethed the mass of the people, already concerned with their own belonging. Diffused all over tents and awnings bedouin have filled all glens and other covered from winds of the place. For they began openning terrain, where beside rare palms around nearest pit with too salty water strolled the groups a camel. The Background whole this was a foothills, s and concourses reminded замковые ruins stone strewn before most horizon.
Since in Vedzhe was accepted to split the camp far, even much far one from the other, I squandered its life in endless circulation between tent Feysala back and forth, англичан, egyptian army, city, port, radio station, integer by days without rest утрамбовывал coral lanes, that rising, that coming down on him in sandal or simply barefoot, натруживая legs, hardly finding in itself power to overcome the pain, striding on coated sharp щебнем, blazed by fervour to ground and trying herewith somehow insure its already drilled body in foretaste of the more difficult test.
The Poor arabs wondered, why I have no, and I refrained from that to puzzle their incomprehensible him talk about that that I toughen, or confess in that that prefer to go on foot to not to tire the animal though and that, and other was a truth. In I rose something saddenning and brushing against my value at type these undermost forms. Their miserable existence introduced me reflection servitude human, entailment of the perception us God, and use them in the personal purpose, besides inevitably enterring into obligations to him, seemed shameful. The Cognate feeling I felt and at type negro, danced under mountain night through, before shall fall, under sounds of the gong. Their person, so sharply differed from our, breathed the tolerance, but why-that caused the internal protest a thought about that that essentially their bodies are an exact двойниками our.
The Internal life Feysala was reduced to обдумыванию day and night its politicians, and in this him little than could help any one of us. External manifestations to lifes of the camp were a parades, which entertained us crowd, shooting in air yes victory marches. There were and accident. Once upon a time group, enjoyed for our tent, has blasted the bomb with seaplane, relic of the timeses of the seizure of the city Boylom.
The Limbs of these people by blast swept on the whole camp, and tarpaulin of the many tents was covered red spot, soon changed in dark-brown, but then faded before some vague colour. Feysal has ordered to change the tents, but испачканные by blood to destroy. But economical slaves their отстирали. Some other time fired the tent, and three our guests have got the burns. The Whole camp crowded around, coming гомерическим horselaugh until calmed don the fire, but afterwards we bashful врачевали aggrieved. Then, the stray bullet wounded the mare and has overpunched going right through several tents.
Once upon a time in the night агейлы взбунтовались against its commander Ibn Dahila because of that that that too often fixed him garbs outside of queue and too cruelly ripped for misdemeanor.
Aloud крича and shooting in air, they have covered his(its) tent, повыбрасывали his(its) belongings and have beaten the servants. This turned out to be it is not enough to suppress their fury, then they were taken recall YAnbo and left to kill the атейбов. Feysal has saw overhand their torchlights, barefoot rushed to him and has shaved off with legs blow sabres плашмя four persons. His(its) fury has caused beside rioter заминку, in this time slaves and riders, convening people on help, dashed downwards and were taken with shout to distribute to the right and to the left blows sabre in scabbard. Someone gave Feysalu horse; вскочив on it, he was crushed on главарей then we diffused the groups, shooting signal rocket. It Is Murdered was whole two persons, and one more is wounded. The following day Ibn Dahil was moved aside.
Myurrey has transferred us two armored cars "роллс-royce", freed after campaign in East Africa.
The Commander were Gilmen and Ueyd, but crews english -- drivers from auxiliary, arrows from пулеметного of the body. The Contents them in Vedzhe has complicated our problems, since products, which we ate, and water, which saws, were recognized unimproved with medical standpoint, but presence english mouths compensated this trouble, and the most difficult turned out to be преодоление car and motorcycle impenetrable sandy sun dune under Vedzhem. The Heavy labour of вождения machines in desert has done the hands of these people to look like boxing, and gait beside them was corresponding to: they went, rocking slightly shoulder. Since time they have gained the close skills to art of вождения machines on song that did their more careful on hard road and compelled it is correct to choose the velocity on soft area. One of such were last twenty miles of the plain before Dzhebeli-Raalem. The Cars passed them a little more than for half an hour, jumping with гребня on comb of the dunes and dangerously swing back and forth at lowering on declivity. The Arab liked these new toys. The Bicycles they named the horse of the evil spirit, детьми of the cars (which in turn were a sons and дочерьми train). So we обзавелись "three generations of" mechanical transport facilities.
Our interest to Vedzhu intensified the fleet. Boyl has sent here
"Espaygl" as man on duty of the nave with exciting order "to do all the best for interaction at realization different plan in accordance with dictations of the colonel Niyukomba, and besides so that is clear seen rendered support". His(its) commander Ficmoris (the surname the known in Turcii) was personification hospitality and found our work on land by pleasing amusement. He helped us thousand of ways, in adjustment communication first of all. Ficmoris was a specialist on radio communication that turned out to be as it is impossible more apropos, since at one beautiful day on roadstead appeared "Norsbruk", delivered us army radio station mounted on light lorry. Since nobody from us nothing in she did not understand, we were in full растерянности. Then Ficmoris disembarked on coast with half of the crew, has drived away the lorry on chosen by him place, professional has collected the masts, has started the engine and has debugged the communication so that else before sunset ed with "Norsbrukom" and long talked with ship radio operator. This station worked the day and night and has much raised efficiency an веджской basises, having fallen asleep Red sea депешами on three languages, scrambled two groups of ten of the different army codes.
CHAPTER 30
Fahri-pasha still continued to play in our play. He held the line a trench around Mediny and besides on such distance from it that arabs could not fire the city from орудий. (However, such attempts nobody and did not do not even dreamed of this). The Other troops were рассредоточены along railway in the manner of strong garrison on all водопоях between Medinoy and Tebukom, as well as more small post between these garrison to patrol constantly the road.
To be short, he has elected the most foolish way of the defence, what only possible was itself to represent. Garland has left from Vedzha on southeast, but Niyukomb on northeast, for the reason undermining of the road взрывчаткой. Their task was a destruction of the rail way and bridge, as well as installing the automatic mines under passable train.
The Doubts arab were changed by unrestrained optimism, and this allowed to expect the excellent service. Fey-fat has enrolled in army majority ticket and моахибов, which have acknowledged his(its) master to Arabia all through from railway before epidemic deathes, but has afterwards sent the джухейнцев to Abdulle in Vadi Ais.
Now he could prepare to seriously concern with Hidzhazskoy iron expensive, but since practice has shown that realization our plan has exceed my payments, I asked his(its) detain in Vedzhe and take measures to more broad incidence idea motion surrounding us племен to in the future rebellion could enlarge, creating threat for railway on area from Tebuka (the former border of our influence) before Maana, in north direction. In its understanding the move of the arabic war I remained short-sighted. I have not yet understood that sermon was a victory, but battle fraudulently. In that moment I interfaced them together, but since Feysalu more liked to change the frames of mind of the people, than destroy the roads, sermon gave the best results.
As to north соседей -- coast tribe хувейтат, that begin Feysalom already was as one should; but now we concerned with племенем бени-атия, more on northeast, and obtained the big success: his(its) chieftain Aces ибн Atiya has arrived to us and has sworn on faithfulness Feysalu. His(its) main by motive was envy to its brother so active help we from he did not wait, but налаженные relations provided us liberty of the movement on territory of his(its) tribe. Us surrounded the different tribes, obliged by submissiveness Nuri SHaalanu, great emir Ruvelly, which after sheriff Ibn Sauda and Ibn Rashida was a fourth figure amongst unreliable princes of the deserts.
Nuri was an old persons and rules its племенем аназа thirty years. He was a chapter family Ruvelly though and not senior on age, his(its) did not love, and he was not a prominent warrior. Verhovenstva he obtained solely due to power of the nature and for achievement of this purposes has killed two their own brothers. Later he has increased the number of their own followers, having spread its influence upon шераратов and the other tribes, and immutable law became his(its) word on the whole territory of their deserts. He was alien flattering дипломатичность usual sheik. It is Enough was one his(its) word to put an end oppositions or be through with opponent. All his(its) were afraid and obeyed him. Even to use his(its) road, we were to get his(its) permit.
Fortunately, this was not difficult. Feysal has provided itself this much years back and supported by exchange gift between Medinoy and YAnbo. Now left to him from Vedzha Faiz el-Huseyn was met whilst in transit with Ibn Dugmi, one of the first persons Ruvelly, moving to us with excellent gift in the manner of several сотен strong pack camel. Nuri, of course, as before supported the friend relations with turk. His(its) market were Damascus and Baghdad, which could for three months to starve the half of his(its) tribe if become his(its) suspect, but we knew that at some moment us may need his(its) military help, but before this time not even have intimated him on breakup with Turciey.
His(its) good will has opened us access to Sirhanu with his(its) famous expensive, with revenge for camp and chain of the sources of water; this was a row bound between itself hollows, spread from Dzheffa, capitals Nuri on southeast, on north, to Azraku in Syrias, under Dzhebeli-Druzom. The Liberty Sirhana was needs us to get before tents of the east tribe ховейтат, знаменитых абу тайи, whose chieftain was Auda, famed военачальник in North Arabia. Only by means of Audy us to manage to turn the enthusiasm племен from Maana before Akaby in its profit so that they subsequently helped us to select beside turkish garrison Akabu and surrounded her(its) hills. Only under his(its) active support we could dare двинуться from Vedzha in long way on Maan. With most YAnbo we tried to conquer him(it) for our deal.
In Vedzhe we have done the stride onward. Ibn Zaali, cousin Audy and military leader абу тайи, profit of the seventeenth February -- lucky day at all points. At dawn with deserted orient Tebuka arrived пятеро chiefs of the tribe шерарат with gift in the manner of яиц arabian ostrich, which teems seldom visitted desert. After them for crowd slave was shown Daif-Blushed абу Tiyur, cousin Hamd ибн Jazz, sovereign chieftain of the central tribe ховейтат with Maanskogo plateau. This was multiple and powerful tribe, excellent warriors, but mortal enemies their own relative -- nomad абу тайи by reason of jam of the quarrel between Audoy and Hamdom. We felt pride, seen that they have arrived from such distances to greet us, however regretted that they more suitable to coming on Akabu, than абу тайи.
Right after them was a cousin Nauvafa, senior son Nuri SHaalana, with mare, sent Nauvafom in gift Feysalu.
Feuded between itself SHaalan and Jazz watched the friend on friend full malices eye. We happened to to separate their groups, having split new гостевой camp. Subsequent to Ruvelloy was declared about arrival Abu Tageyga -- вождя оседлых ховейтат, живших on seaside. He will bring with itself certificate of the respect of its tribe and booty from Dhaby and Muveyly, two last remained beside turk output to Red epidemic deathes. For it we held aside the place on ковре Feysala and warm words to thanks for all made his(its) племенем, which has removed to border Akaby on road, too difficult for combat operation, but suitable for проповедования, but in else greater degree for reception of information.
Has In the afternoon arrived Ibn Zaali with десятком of the other followers вождя Audy. He has kissed Feysalu hand on behalf of Audy once, another from itself personally and, being situated on ковре, has declared that came from Audy to greet Feysala and ask his(its) orders. Ostensibly дипломатично
restraining joy, Feysal with serious type has represented Ibn Zaalya his(its) mortal enemies -- tribe jazz ховейтат. Ibn Zaali in a reserved manner hinted that they introduce;make familiar with. Later we long talked with him in private order and have released him(it) with богатыми grant, else богатыми promises and with the personal message Feysala to Aude about that that discords can be eliminated only under the personal meeting with him in Vedzhe. Auda used the loud soldierly glory, but majority from us was not known, but in such vitally important deal, as Akaba, we had a no right on error. He must be personally that we could weight all and mark the plans for the future in his(its) presence and with his(its) help.
For this exception of the event of the day developed successfully, and he not too differed from any day Feysala. My diary book распух from new marks. The Roads in Vedzh were a downtrodden multiple messenger and добровольческими troop, as well as seen sheik, arrived to swear on faithfulness Feysalu. Feysal with Koran in hand solemnly swore in new supporter, obliged "to wait, when he waits, go, when he goes, be not conquered turk, well-disposed to pertain to all, speaking on-arabic, whether багдадцы, inhabitants Aleppo, сирийцы or thoroughbred arabs, and put independence превыше its lifes, families and property".
He also was immediately taken push the лбами feuding tribes in its presence and then and there settle the disputes between them.
Carrying to consciousnesses of the parties balance advantages and losses, Feysal interceded, found the compromises, but often and paid the difference, putting personal facilities for achievement of the consent.
Feysal concerned with this everyday during two years, installing natural order uncountable ensemble trivialities, from which was built arabic society, and adding him own deskside -- wars against turk. Nor in one of the areas, through which he passed, did not remain nor one event of active blood feud, and around he personified itself appellate court, whose condemnations for West Arabia did not subject to to appeal.
Herewith he выказывал get fat fairness. He never took neither biassed decisions, nor such, which on the strength of their practical невыполнимости brought only to greater disturbances. Not a single arab nor reek has not protested his(its) decisions and has not called in question his(its) wisdoms or компетентности in deal племен. Patiently excluding truth from lie, showing tact and demonstrating best memory, he has deserved the authority beside nomad from Mediny before Damascus and in the whole county. So Feysal has got the general confession as power, becoming превыше level племен, rejecting blood chieftains, towerring over envy. Arabic motion became national in the best sense of this word since all in him were at one, realized вторичность personal interest and that place of the leader on fairness and rightfully belongs to the person, with which he довелось to outlive several weeks of the triumph and long months of the disillusionment after liberation Damascus.
CHAPTER 31
The Urgent messages Clayton have broken this glad functioning by order to wait in Vedzhe egyptian patrol nave "Hyp el-Bahr", arrived in two days with information. I felt ill, and I obeyed not without pleasure. The Nave came to nominated day and has debarked on coast Makreri, delivered me copy long telegraph instruction from Dzhemalya-pashas found in Medine Fahri. In these instruction, come from Envera and german staff in Konstantinopole, was kept the order about immediate evacuation of the troopses from Mediny in пешем the formation: in Hediyu first, then in El Ulu, hereinafter in Tebuk and finally in Maan, where must be equiped with new railway terminal and system траншей.
This plan could wholly make the arab, but our army in Egypt was a disheartened prospect of the sudden transfer on беэршебский front twenty five thousand soldier анатолийской to armies, with much more multiple, than usually, корпусной artillery. Clayton in its letter to I wrote that hereto deployment should отнестись the most attentive image and take all measures to taking Mediny or to deleting the garrison under town output.
Niyukomb was on lines of the railway, where concerned with preparing the grandiose destructions, and so at present whole liability lay on me. I feared that too little will possible do in time, since letter detained for several days and evacuation must was here is-here is begin.
We have frankly stated the position Feysalu and have said that in this instance union interests require the victims or to say the least delays of the direct advantage. Punctilious in questions honor, he immediately agreed to do all from it hanging. We have counted our possible facility and have solved переправить them to railway. The Sheriff Mastur, honest, calm oldster, and Rasim with their own bedouin, infantry on mule and instrument were to leave straight in Fageyr -- first reliable basis with water from Vadi Aisa northward to occupy the first area of the railway from zone Abdully northward.
Ali ибн el-Huseyn must was from Dzheydy to attack the second area from Mastura northward. We have offered Ibn Mahanne to approach to El Ule and conduct the observation for her. The Sheriff Nasiru has ordered to advance to Kalaat scarlet-Muadhamu and take for reinforcement of his(its) people. I have written the letter Niyukombu with request about return in connection with new event. Old Muhammed Ali was to leave from To in oasis under Tebukom so if soon begin the evacuation, we were hereto ready. All our one hundred fifty miles of the railway were protected, but Fey-fat itself in Vedzhe already was in readiness to render aid any important sector for it.
I lay ahead to leave to Abdulle in Vadi Ais to realize, why he for two months nothing have not done, and convince him(it) if turk уйдут, двинуться straight on them. I hoped that we shall be able to stop their multiple small roadstead on this area of the lines that motion train will seriously be дезорганизовано, but collection necessary spare provisions on each large station will practically be impossible. The Garrison Mediny, exercised defect in гужевом transport, was able take with you little. Enver has ordered to sink the instruments and provisions in coaches, include the train in pillars and move on rail together. This was an unprecendented manoeuvre, and if you have won ten days to occupy the source positions, but they tried realize this foolish затею, beside us was possibility all their delete.
The following day I have drived out of Vedzha, sick and unapt to long transition. Feysal, occupied their own urgent deals, has selected me in accompaniment not too reliable people. The Conductor were four from tribe рифаа and one of мерви джухейны, syrian Arslan, soldier-денщик, prepared me small cakes and rice and served by dartboard for taunt arab, four агейла, one марокканец and one атейб by name Suleyman. The Camels, becoming very thin because of paucity stern on this arid ground of the tribe ticket, obviously did not promise quick motion.
Our departure detained that on one then on the other reason before nine evenings whereupon we inadvertently set off in way, but I was a packed determination anyway to ride off far from Vedzha else before morning. Проехав four hours, we stopped on place to sleep. Have The following day done two пятичасовых of the transition and were situated under Abu Zereybatom, on our old winter apartment. The Big pond to withered for two months before amounts of the small puddle, and water in he became noticeably солонее. After several weeks she will turn out to be completely to be unfit for drink.
Spoke that in finding sometime thereabouts quite intelligent pit must be more or less approaching water. I not
became his(its) search for since furuncle on back and strong fervour transformed in torments bumpiness on camel, but besides, I have much tired.
We have having continued the way long before dawning and, проезжая through Hamdh, lost the way on rough terrain Agunny, in region of the low hills. To beginning of the day have found the right direction and have gone on watershed, gradually lowered to El-Hubtu -- hilly plain, spreading before Suhura, granite вздутия which surrounded the road, commencing from most Wit Ledzha, but the ground was covered ample урожаем the watermelon-колоцинта. braid And fruits looked in light of the got up day festively. Dzhuheyncy spoke that watermelon sheet and стебли were a best provender for horses and for long hours rescued from thirst, агейлы confirmed that верблюжье milk ripe in чашеобразную crust of the watermelon with выскобленной серцевиной serves the best purgative by facility. Ateyb has said that if wax the soles of the legs by watermelon juice, that will easier go, but марокканец Hamed has noticed that высушенная pulp changes the good tinders. However all were agree in one -- as provender for camel this plant uselessly or even poisonous.
For these talk we passed Hubt -- three miles of the pleasing road and, has crossed through low ridge, turned out to be on the other area, smaller amounts. Now we saw in northeasterly direction two costing beside enormous gray, with красноватым tone, полосчатые глыбы volcanic sort, where possible was take cover from singing sun and bedlams sandy winds. The Third, by name Sahara, a little in party from them, was built from caused my curiosity пузыристой volcanic sort. Vblizi she was looks like gigantic, by half ingrown in the ground soccer ball, up to such brown colour. Her(its) south and east surface were absolutely smooths and невыветренными, but correct куполообразная top shone, as if polished, and on she scattered the small rifts, reminded seams. This was one of the the most strange tops Hidzhaza -- country of the whimsical hills. We carefully went to her under small rain, seemed strange-beautiful in bright light sun.
Our way lay between Sahara and Suhurom, on deep song narrow горловины with nearly vertical nacked wall. Their top was uneven. We happened to to clamber on изрытым каменистым declivity, along big unset of the sort between two tilted red reefs from hard sort. The Top of the mouting pass was looks like blade of the knife. We rushed with it in bound stone gorge, by half overlapped come off by boulder, variegated sign племен, many generations which used this expensive. For he were opened поросшие tree elbowrooms, on which in winter was going to ground, washed off driving rain with polished declivity Suhura. Here all over met granite denuding, but in else humid riverbed rain flow underfoot stretched silvery sand. Stoks was made for party Heyrana.
Then we long zigzagged on labyrinth between disorderly low буграми granite щебня, by a narrow margin choosing although any acceptable road for camel. Soon after полудня these бугры have retreated before broad wooded plain, on which we went the whole hour, but afterwards once again began the troubles: we happened to to order to dismount and conduct the camel on narrow mountain trope with destroyed degree from sort, so polished for long years thousand legs that to move on him in rainy weather was simply dangerously. These step conducted us that upwards on long declivity of the hills, that downwards between hill somewhat less, to new valley, but then каменистая zigzag path has brought us to riverbed of the flow. It soon became too narrow for ed camel, and path отошла from it, hardly цепляясь for steep declivity of the hill between vertical: one hung overhand, the other threatening rose from below. Through quarter of the hour
hereon dizzy stunt we with joy got before high depression, on which previous wayfarers have packed the пирамидки from stone to in token thanks Almighty god, saved by him life. Such type were an пирамидки along roads Masturaha, which I have remembered since time of its first arabian journey from Rabega to Feysalu.
We not for long detained to выложить from stone its пирамидку, but then двинулись further on sandy valley in Vadi Hanbag. After long hours spume in stone chaos elbowrooms Hanbaga us have refreshed. His(its) net white riverbed graceful crooked left between tree on north under обрывистыми red and brown hill, remaining on distance of the mile into view or two upwards and downstream. On low sandy escarpment grew the weed, and we stopped on half an hour to give the оголодавшим camel to eat juicy, sound food.
Such enjoyments they did not feel with most Bir el-Vaheydi and now greedily tore off the herb. Then we двинулись on valley to branch opposite that place, whence entered. This valley -- Vadi Kitan was not more beautiful. Her(its) covered by pebble surface without separate large stone amply sprouts tree. On the right, there were are seen low hills, on the left -- commanding heights under name Dzhidva, risen parallel крутобокими гребнями from destroyed granite, in this hour absolutely red in ray sun, called at between thick cloud, предвестьем дождя.
We have finally split the bivouac, and after camels were развьючены and отведены on присмотренное pasture, I прилег repose under. I tormented the headache and fervour -- fcompanion(satellite)s of the strong fit to dysenteries, not given rest whole road and already twice in this day brought me before short swoon, when steep ascents required the tensions of all power. The Variety to dysenteries typical of this arabian seaside, usually collapsed on person as blow of the hammer and toppled with legs for several days whereupon sharp симптомы passed, but weariness remained for several weeks and nervious condition, fraught failure.
My fcompanion(satellite)s whole day quarrelled, but when I lay under, has unexpectedly thundered the shot. I have not turned on it attention -- in valley was a packed зайцев and birds, but a little later I have raised Suleyman and has called for itself to lawn between on opposite party of the valley. There lay the struck down пулей in temple one of the агейлов, person from tribe бурайда. The Shot, probably, was made in stress nearly since skin around is reeked was burnt. Rest агейлы, as if mad, run around, but when I have asked that has occurred, their главарь Ali has said that this murder has made the марокканец Hamed. I заподозрил Suleymana, litter about blood feud between атбанами and агейлами, разгоревшейся in YAnbo and Vedzhe, but Ali assured that, when раздался the shot, Suleyman was found together with him in valley, on distance three сотен yard, where they collected brushwood for campfires. I разослал all on quest Hameda and поплелся back, speculating about that that this was not to happen in single from all days, when I was an нездоров.
Ulegshisi on former place, I have heard the rustle and, slowly open eye, has seen before itself back Hameda, ed on вьюками for my straight. I have directed on it revolver and окликнул him(it). He has lowered the rifle to pull shutter, and turned out to be in my authorities before that, as to us подошли people. We have immediately made the court, and after short запирательств, Axмед confessed that they quarrelled with Salem, he was enraged and выстрелил in it. The Effect ended. Ageyly, relatives murdered, have required the shelters for blood. Rest their have supported though I vain tried to dissuade meek Ali. Head so broke apart
from high temperature that I little thought, but be I in full здравии even, under all its oratory hardly was able obtain the farewells for Hameda since Salem was a friendly lad and his(its) sudden murder had a no justifications. But afterwards began the terror, which could force the civilized person to run from justice, as from plague if he did not feel need to use him as executioner, realizing retribution. In our armies were and the other марокканцы, and unpunished murder агейлами one of them because of blood feud has caused return actions that has put(deliver)ed under threat unity. Was needed the execution on the whole form, and finally I in despair has declared Hamedu that he must die in punishment for содеянное, and I take the burden of the punishment on itself. Possible, I exuded unauthorized кровником, but at least once in this case was not a ground for the further revenge my fcompanion(satellite) since I was a foreigner and had a no relative amongst them.
I велел Hamedu to fall into narrow glen -- gloomy damp place, заросшее weed. Sand underfoot was a variegated tiny dimple from drop of water, fallen with s during the last дождя. The Glen moved over to cleft by width in several inches, with vertical wall. I stopped at the input and gave him delay for several seconds, which he has spent on sobs, having dashed to the ground. I have ordered him to rise and выстрелил in bosom. Hamed fell with piercing wail, streem shelters has flooded his(its) cloth, and, забившись in agonies, he was rolled up to to that place, where stood ya. I выстрелил newly, but I penetrated such tremor that bullet has overpunched only his(its) wrist. He закричал, this time quiet, lying down flat on the back, leg in my party, I bent over and выстрелил last time in neck under mandible. His(its) body several times shuddered and замерло. I have called the агейла, which закопал him(it) in this glen. Hereon I tore apart the long sleepless night, and finally for several hours before dawning I have raised the people and has ordered вьючить camel, hotly wanting be soon taken away from Vadi Kitana. They happened to to help someone into me in saddle, since itself I completely ed weak.
CHAPTER 32
The Dawning has caught us on short steep mouting pass, leading from Vadi Kitana in main водосборную valley of these hills. We have turned aside, in Vadi Yard-mi, valley influx to store water. There was not a pit as such, only шурф for улавливания seeping water perforated in stone bed of the valley, and we have found him(it) somewhat on scent;
the taste of water though and repugnant, differed, oddly to say, in the best party. We have filled the wineskins, Arslan испек bread, and we two hours reposed. Then once again set off in road through Vadi Amk, pleasing green valley, on which was much comfortable stride camel.
When valley Amk has rolled up on west, we parted with her and started to rise between bosom cobblestone from sulphur of the granite, usual in mountain Hidzhaza. The Gorge ended the natural пандусом and step. They were absolutely ruined, stairway meandered and was almost impassable for camel, but, thank god, not long. Hereon we for hour went on open valley, on the right on which was a chain of the low hills, but on the left mountains. In песчанистых marl got the озерца of water and tents меравинов under beautiful tree, росшими on the whole valley. The Declivities were very fertile, on them to fall the flocks a sheep and herd of the nanny goats. The Shepherds give us молока: this was a first milk, which my агейлы have seen for two years of the drought.
The Road from this valleys, when we reached her(its) upper fringe, turned out to be foul, but lowering in liing beyond her Vadi Merrah -- nearly dangerous, but panorama, opened with гребня, вознаградила us for these inconvenience. Broad Vadi Marrah went between even wall of the hills to mountain amphitheatre, around which mile in four ahead of as if closed the valleys, approached on the left and on the right. The artificial buildings towered On way from untilled stone. Entered there, we have seen that gray wall of the hills выгибаются with each parties by semicircle. Before us in south direction across this arcs on small рощицей prickly tree высился the vertical ledge иссиня-black lava. We доехали before it and улеглись in негустой shade, grateful although some cool in the middle boundless ardent heat.
The Day -- sun in these minute stood in zenith -- was very hot, and I so has weakened that hardly kept the head. The Blasts stuffy winds as if burning hand were enough our person, intense heat of the eye. Because of nerve-racking pain I choked, broadly open mouth. The Lips cracked from winds, throat пересохло to such an extent that I could not speak, but process of the drink changed in torture. However wanted all time to drink. The Thirst did not give be weakened and насладиться wanted покоем.
The the Present punishment Bozhiim were an officious flies.
The Riverbed of the valley was выстлано quartz gravels and white sand. His(its) bright briliance entrenched under ages, and the ground, seemed, began to dance, when wind rocked the white tops of the rubbish herb. The Camel liked this provender, росший bunch by height beside sixteen inches on sulphur-green стеблях. They stuffed the belly while finally conductors have not brought them to me and have not put near by me. In some wink I возненавидел these animal, since because of gluttony their breathing became smelly, and they aloud belched up all new portions of the cud, hardly having swallowed previous while green saliva not обволокла their отвисшие lips.
Having Ed, I have lying down chucked the stone in nearest camel, that rose and закачался for my head, but has afterwards placed the back legs and urinated the powerful вонючей an струей. My reason was so is clouded by fervour and weakness that I simply lay and cried from helplessness. My people отошли to kindle the campfire and roast the gazelle, which, fortunately, manage to wound whomever of them, and I have understood that in any other day this halt was for me pleasing.
The Surrounding hills were transfused alive paint: their basis had a warm gray tone from accumulated in them energy solar лучей then beside paddling meandered, most often two by two, narrow прожилки of the granite, repeated line of the horizon and look like rusty metal abandoned rail from equipment theatrical scene. Arslan has said that beside these hills scallop, as beside cock, -- well-aimed observation.
After my accompanied наелись, we once again взобрались on camel and easy rose on the first wave of the jelled lava. She was short, either as the second, on top which stretched the big terrazzo; the average part was covered alluvial sand and gravel. Nearly чистую surface of the lava formed the caked ash of the colour rusty ferric, on which were a strewn area friable stone. Southward from us rose third and following step, we have went on to orient, to Vadi Cinders.
The Cinders, similars, was a granite valley, in the middle which, slowly filling her(it), run the lava. Her(its) flow выгнулся the arc in central part. A deep troughs were With each parties between lava and declivity of the hills. Any time in hill raged the storm, their filled rain water. Vysyhaya, flow of the lava was twisted as tightrope and cracked. On friable, dotted debris stone to surfaces many generations camel and teamster has beaten a path uncomfortable, nerve-racking road.
We are a long watch entrenched on her onward, camels on each step shuddered from pain, stepping on sharp щебню.
The Tropes possible was distinguish only on parched litter animal yes on a little bluish surface истертых stone.
The Arabs have declared that in the dark these tropes impenetrable, with than happened to to agree, since otherwise, showing impatience, we risked to damage slightly the legs animal.
However to five hours in the afternoon road became easier.
Probably, we were close to higher part become all already valleys. Ahead of, on shift to the right hand, was shown cone-shaped crater, overhand донизу variegated neat furrow and promised get prettier road since there was built from black ash, such net, as if his(its) have specially sifted, with diffused on surfaces area more firm ground and slag. For he were found one more лавовое field, possible, more old, than these valleys since stone were a smooths, but between they spread the extensive platforms, covered wild разросшимися weed.
Amongst these elbowroom stood the tents a bedouin, whose хозяева, seen us, dashed toward, caught on to halter camel and tale us to itself.
Turned out to be, here were situated the sheik Fahad el-Hansha and his(its) people -- old, chatty warriors, participated in march on Vedzh and found together with Garlandom in that great moment, when on his(its) first automatic mine подорвался эшелон with soldier from station Toveyra not far. Fahad and hear did not want about that that I улегся to repose thereabouts to his(its) tent he with thoughtless indifference of the person to deserts to deference to ranks затащил me inside and has put in the most unchancy place, on being eaten alive bedbug. There he put передо me all new пиалы with diuretic верблюжьим молоком, questionning about Europe, about my tribe, about english pasture for camel, about war in Hidzhaze and about war in general, about Egypt and Damascus, about health Feysala, about that, why we go to Abdulle and on what reason I remain the christian, when their heart and hands the only thing wait that to take me in its faith.
So passed the long watch before ten evenings, when have brought barbecue in honour of guest of the ram with cut off limb (as it is accepted under угощении regal persona), entrusted on huge heap amply seasonned mask a rice. I from decebcy has eaten, writhe under raincoat, and fell asleep. Full exhausting, before which I have brought the watch the most worst their transition, what only possible itself to represent, did me indifferent to flea and вшам. However disease подхлестнула my usually clumsy fantasy, which, взбунтовавшись, has presented me that in the night VWVappear in the dreams, is woke;waked I delirium stark naked in the primordial darkness on endless lava, whose sharp salients bite for legs, as insect, embraced by terror from sensation that for us clamber murdered by me марокканец.
In the morning we rose early and were supported. Our cloth swarmed the parasite. After the next пиалы молока, obtruded eager Fahadom, me to manage single-handedly to get to its camel and by itself sit in saddle. We rose on the last length Vadi Cinders to top, moving amongst cone black ash from crater on south.
Have Then turned in left aside valley, finished steep каменистым by ascent, to which we have by a narrow margin pulled their own camel.
For him was a hard lowering to Vadi Murmiye, which average part was covered by big mass of the lava, look like zinc-coated iron; on both her(its) parties went the smooth sandy riverbeds, on which was comfortable go the camel. In a certain time we подошли to break, served expensive on the other party. We passed on her and have seen alternated with ground area lava, obviously fertile: there grew the tree with rich foliage, surrounded lawn persisting herbs with ensemble colour; this was a most best pasture for all time of our roadstead, seemed unbelievably green on background иссиня-black каменистых postponing. The Nature of the lava changed. The Accustomed heaps истертых stone by value with skull or fist were changed comparable to sheet of the fern or palms crystollized bunch small leaving the metallic sort, on which was impossible go the barefoot leg.
The Next watershed has brought us to open place, where джухейнцы вспахали under зарослями of the shrubbery hectare eight leans of ground. This was indicative of courage and tenacity arab. The Place this was identified Vadi SHetf, but for he spread other разлившаяся river of the lava the most worst from met on our way. Her(its) cut gloomy
the zigzag path. Have There lost one camel: he has broken the foreleg, having pleased in pit. Around wallowed much bones; it is seen, not we one damaged on this accursed trope. However conductors have said that here ended the лавовые a sediment, and further we continued its way on easy passable valley already, for which began long, before most сумерек, lowering on long пологому declivity. Go the camel was so comfortable, and coolness so well I refreshed that we notwithstanding обыкновению with coming the evening did not stop, but continued to move through pool Murmiyi to pool Vadi Aisa and there, under Tleyhom, stopped on the last spending the night.
I rejoiced the close end of the transition. I pestered the fever, and I was afraid seriously заболеть, -- prospect to turn out to be in such condition in hand even acted from the best impetuses bedouin was not from pleasing. Beside them any treatment was reduced to that that they poked that place of the body sick, which considered act of concentration of the ill. Such method was acceptance for one, in he believed, but for неверящего this present torture: subject to itself such dangers was foolishly, but object uselessly since good arabs simply paid no regard to protests of the patient.
The Morning was pleasing, but lowering in valley Vadi Ais looks like calm walk horseback. We доехали before Abu Marhi, nearest водопоя, the whole only through several minutes after there stopped the sheriff Abdulla. Near by pit, on заросшей acacia to glade, his(its) people already installed the tents. He left from its old camp in Bir el-Amri that below on valley, but before that has left from Murabby since the whole neighborhood was downtrodden his(its) people and animal. I have delivered him documents from Feysala, has explained the situation in Medine and hinted, as it is important to hurry the railway with blocking. I was shown that he has taken this coldly, but without the further talk I have noticed that little has tired from transition and from his(its) permits to should like to lie down for a while and take a nap. He has ordered to put(deliver) for me tent near by its шатром, and I finally-that remained in solitude. The Whole day in saddle I fought with weakness, but after has returned Abdulle message, tension passed, however I felt that did not bear even one more hour of the way.
CHAPTER 33
In this tent I have lain the days ten, sufferring from weakness, which was ashamed of, and hide from people until passed shame.
As always could be with me in like circumstance, wit was made clear, feeling обострились and I finally-that became consecutively to analyse arabic rebellion. About this follow to think long ago, but the first my arrival in Hidzhaz was conditioned screaming need of the concrete action, and we did that instinctive considered best, not enterring into estimation of our impetuses and not formulating integer.
For this instinct was not a knowledges past, judgements become on-feminine intuitive and now sapped my confidence. So in present compelled inaction I searched for the correspondences to own action its начитанности and spent time between hour heavy VWVappear in the dreams with nightmare on comprehension occurring.
As was it already spoken, I, regrettably, was not so experienced campaign in command, how do I wanted, and had not corresponding to training. I was it is enough well-read in the field of military theory, my оксфордская curiosity has brought about that that from Napoleona I перешел to Klauzevicu with his(its) school, to Kemmereru and Molitke, as well as to modern frenchman. All of these seemed me some lopsided.
Having Viewed ZHomini and Uillisena, I have found the more broad principles beside Saks and Gibera, as well as in eighteenth century. However Klauzevic knowledge-based was so above their all, but his(its) book so логична and fascinating that I have unconsciously taken her(it) for sample while comparison with Kyune and Foshem has not caused in me repulsions to солдафонам, has not bored their semi-jfficial, glory, forced me critically to take a look at their revelations. In any event this interest was abstract and опосредовал theory and философию wars with metaphysical parties only.
Now all were very concretely, in particular навязшая in teeth problem Mediny. To be distracted from it, I was taken recall approaching максимы about conduct of the modern war, founded on science. But they were not inserted in reality and disturbed me. To date Medina was for all of us obtruding идеей. But now that I lay sick, belief about her was not clear: or deal was in that that we were near by her (the person seldom attracts attainable), or in that that my eye were clouded безотрывным by contemplate of this scrap of the ground.
Somehow p.m. I awoke from горячечного VWVappear in the dreams, pouring with water over afterwards, torn apart fly, with thought: what line, strictly, us it is necessary in Medine? The Threat with her(its) parties was obvious while we were in YAnbo, but turk went on Mecca, but we themselves all have changed its march on Vedzh. Today we concern with blocking the railway, they only protect her(it). The Garrison Mediny abbreviated before full inability to conduct the active operations, sits in trench and deletes the own offensive potential, eating taxed live-stock, which they anymore able to feed. We have deprived their possibility to threaten us and all intending to select the city beside them. Medina -- not such important for us basis, as Vedzh, and not threat, as Vadi Ais. On that she us, really?
The Camp was aroused after apathy noonday hours, and noises of the external world began to penetrate to me VWXbe drafty желтую lining палаточного linens, in each дырочку, in each breakup, through which врывались the long daggers solar лучей. I was heard топтанье and храпенье precipitated fly of the horses in shade tree, complaints camel, ringing the mortars in which pushed coffee grain, долетали sounds remote shot. This noise background has forced me be once again conceived about purposes of the war. The Books explain her(its) simply -- smash the enemy. The Victory can be bought only by blood. Since beside arab was not organized power, beside turkish Fosha could be not like to purposes. The Arabs have not bore losses. Than has paid our Klauzevic for its victory? Seemed that background to twitched Golic watched deeper, dialect that necessary not to delete the enemy, but break his(its) bravery. However we have shown that task to break anyone's bravery is deprived prospects.
However, Golic was a cheater, and about these wise folk must speak the metaphore since we, certainly, won our war, and on measure unhurried взвешивания circumstance before my consciousness began to reach and that we have won Hidzhaz. From each thousand his(its) square miles nine hundred ninety nine were rescued. Did Not turn out to be my provocative fun in talk with Vikkeri about that that rebellion sooner resemble(go)s on the world, than on war, so mark, how and snap? Possible, in war rules абсолют, but for the world wholly it is enough majority. If we have born the pause, turk happened to settle for that small share, on which they stood.
I once again patiently смахнул of the flies with its person, complacent that хиджазская war is won and with her is thereby finished moreover it is won in that day, when we have taken Vedzh, and was better if beside us have been enough cleverness this understand already then. I have once again broken the thread their own argument to прислушаться. The Remote shots become louder and already met in long, sharp volleys. And suddenly fell silent. I have pricked the ears to catch other sounds, knowing that they последуют. Really, silence has broken донесшийся because of fine wall of the tent rustle, look like rustle of the skirt, brushing against stone. Has Followed the pause, during which riders stopped beside tents on camel, and ed the weak blows a stick on neck animal to force their be lowered on lap.
They have noiseless ed the lap, and I запечатлел this in its memories: first fluctuation -- camels, глядя downwards, feel one leg ground, подыскивая place помягче, then muted blow and sudden lightened exhalation, when they were lowered on forelegs (the way, is seen, was a debt, and they have tired), sound of the short lug on the ground, when they have bent the back legs and, rocking slightly from parties aside, were taken work the knee to зарыть them in colder layer of ground under hot debris stone then rider, on-птичьи tripped barefoot leg, silently tale or to centre, where prepared coffee, or to tents Abdully, depending on deal, with which they have arrived.
The Camels remained here, is alarmed похлестывая tail pebble while their хозяева have supervised the place a tether.
I have formulated for itself acceptable begin doctrines, but I remained else to find the alternative play-off, facility and ways of conduct of the war. That that used we, did not resemble(go) on ritual, which жрецом was Fosh, and I returned to him to make clear this difference between you and me. In his(its) modern war -- he named her(its) absolute war -- two nations, проповедующие incompatible философии, carry these discords in sphere of the test power facility. With philosophical standpoint this idiocy: opinions require proof, but their correction -- shootings, and fight can end only then, when outside one abstract principle has in its dictation not more facilities of the resistance, than outside other. This sounded as new editing of the religious wars, whose logical end was an unconditional exterpation one of верований and whose protagonists believed that all solve the God's court. This could be fit for France and Germany, but not at all reflected the position to Britains. Our army did not concern with support of the speculations in Flandrii or on Channel. The Efforts to force our soldier to hate the enemy usually forced their hate the armed fight. Practically Fosh дезавуировал own argumentation, dialect that such war depends on вовлеченности masses and impossible with use professional army then aging army as before remains the british ideal, but her(its) custom -- subject вожделения both ours inhabitants, and careerist. In my understanding фошевская war whole only истребительна and not more absolute, than any other. Her(its) possible was name "killing war". Klauzevic transfers all types of the wars: war between personality, duels by proxy, on dynamic considerations, wars for the reason exile from country, somewhat political, trade wars for the market...
Seldom, one war looks like another. Often parties did not know its purposes and waged war blindfold while move event did not begin to define the nature an action. The Victory usually turned out to be on party possessing gratis presciences though good luck and reason could contribute the exasperating bewilderment in this "immutable" law of the nature.
I bewilderred, why Feysalu wanted to win the turk and why he helped the arabs, and saw that purpose their was especially geographical -- displace the turk from all arabic grounds of the Asia. Their peace ideal of the liberty could воплотиться only so. In longing to ideal term we could kill the turk since they us much did not like, but murder was a net luxury. If they have left peacefully, war ended. If no, we their shall force уйти or at least once try to dispell. In the last resort we shall have to go on bloodshed and on максимы "killing war", but insofar possible small blood for us themselves since arabs fight for liberty, but pleasure from it can get only alive person.
The Care about future descendant not so attractive to die for it, -- regardless of that, insofar person счастлив in любви to its already given birth детям.
In this moment valance my tents откинул slave, who has asked, can emir to invite me to itself. I by a narrow margin
has drawn the cloth and nigh only by crawling moved to his(its) tents.
This was a comfortable home, stood in luxurious shade and complitly covered piercing motley коврами, раскрашенными aniline dye staff -- трофеями from building Huseyna Mabeyriga in Rabege. Abdulla conducted here most of the day, laughed together with friends, played in play miscellaneous with its courtier by buffoon Muhammedom Hasanom. I have caught the ball of the talk, flown between him and SHakirom and several accidentally зашедшими sheik, amongst which was honest Ferhan el-Aida, and was вознагражден speeches Abdully. He has opposed to present independence of their own listeners былому their servitude under Turciey and has straight declared that talks about turkish heresy, or about immortal doctrine New Turana, or about нелегитимном Caliphate do not pertain to deal. This country arab, and in she has seed the turk: here is single problem. I could be proud of their own guesswork.
The following day, the furuncles have upstaged the retreated fever and have riveted me to this вонючей to tent for else more long period. When became too hot to be forgotten although for a short time nap without dreams, I once again red for its ball and was taken untangle him(it) further, considering now all building of the war in his(its) structured aspect that was a strategy, in profound that was a tactics, and in complex feeling inhabitting his(its) people that was a psychology. Ibo my personal duty was command, but commander, like architect, have charge of all.
The First embarrassment has caused the false antithesis to strategies -- purposes of the war, overview approach to communication of each part and integer, and tacticians -- facilities of the achievement to purposes, concrete step to strategies. They introduced me single standpoint, with which possible was value all elements of the war:
algebraic ипостась the things, biological ипостась the lifes and psychological -- идей.
The Algebraic element, or 'epist'eme, introduced me net science, complying with mathematical law, without humanistic forming. This law handled known variable, determined term in concrete space and time: such thing, as hills, climatic differences and railways, at perception of the human factor as uniform mass, too much to take into account the individual differences in combination with all artificial auxiliary facility and with extension of our possibilities to account of the mechanical inventions. This element basically yields to to defining.
Such a was a high-flown professorial beginning. My mental aptitudes, alien abstraction, have newly found the foothold in Arabia. In "translation on arabic" this algebraic factor must was first of all take into consideration territory, which we intended to free, and I was taken senselessly count the square miles.
Sixty; eighty; one hundred; possible, one hundred fourty thousand square miles. And form up the variants that, as turk could all this defends. Certainly, having erected line траншей beside foots of the mountains if we go on fit with unfolded знаменами; but that if we (but wholly can happen) shall not army, approaching on front, but некоей идеей, intangible and unmoved, without front and rear, penetrating like some gas all over? The Armies possible to liken to plants, still ingrained in ground, whose top eats through long стебли. We could be a ferry, carrying on heard by us sound. Our holdings -- in consciousness of each person, and since we do not strive to conquest material life space, that possible abandon to destruction whole material. Similars, herewith regular soldier could turn out to be helpless, considering itself owner only that place, where sits, and seizing on order only that lies within range of the shot.
Then I became to count, how much took people for occupying of this territory to rescue her(it) from our deep roadstead since leading parts rebelled have occupied each free nice from these one hundred thousand. I well knew the turkish army, and if even acknowledge the recent extension of her(its) possibilities to account plane, artillery орудий and бронепоездов (transformed enormous space in small fields of the battle), all introduced that turk will take on one consolidated positions on each four square miles with the number of the personal composition not less twenty soldiers. But if so, then they were necessary six hundred thousand soldier to meet in всеоружии all malevolent adjusted arab, united around горстки fanatic.
How much such could inhere on our hands? At present us had beside fifty thousand: wholly it is enough. Thereby, introduced that in this superiority on our party. If we realized our raw materials facility and were capable their use, -- then and climate, and railway, and desert, either as military technology, also could serve interest. The Turk were balk, stood for them german догматичны. They could consider that rebellion -- same war, and proceed against it in analogy. But any analogy in using to human factor -- rubbish; conduct the war against insurgent deal unpredictable and long as if you have solved there is soup, using instead of spoon by knife.
This was it is enough; I have postponed aside mathematical element and was sunk in study of the biological factor of the process of the command. What introduced, his(its) critical points -- life or death, or less категорично -- extreme fatigue. The Military philosophers have thoroughly developed the theory of the war and have raised one item -- "human losses" on level essence whole problems. The Persons as entailment of the row variable remained as if forgotten that did their estimations inadequate. The Components were vulnerable and illogical, and generals in purpose of the self-defense created the reserve that was an effective acceptance their art. Golic spoke:
if you known power of the enemy and he completely turned round, you may abandon to reserve; but so never could be. The Generals always remembered about possibility of some incidental event or fault in material provision and exactly on this event unconsciously kept the reserve under itself.
The Element "combat spirit of" troopses, uncomplying expression in numeral, happened to to value by means of acceptance, equivalent платоновской to formula d'ox'a -- lighting up; and the most great commander was that, whose intuition was justified most packed. Nine десятых tacticians were, of course, it is enough for teaching in school, but her(its) surd tithe turned out to be such a kingfisher, пролетающему on pond, and exactly she was a touchstones for general. Her(its) could prompt only instinct (prominent thought-out by tactics of the manoeuvre), and finally in critical circumstance she revealled itself the natural image, as reflex. There were people, whose d'ox'a so approached to perfection that acted with accuracy 'epist'eme.
I varied in indecision, possible use this to us itself, and has finally understood that this pertains not only to sort human, but also to material world. In Turcii reigned paucity and дороговизна, and people were valued less, than equipment. Our purpose was a destruction not armies turk, but her(its) material infrastructure. The Destruction of some turkish bridge or railway, machines or artillery instrument or blast of some object were an выгоднее to us, than death of some turk. In ditto time arabic army carefully pertained and to materiel, and to people. The Government handled only such category, as human masses then our people, not being regular contingent, remained the personality. Death separate
the persons, like stone, tumbled in water, left the short emptiness, but around she broadly dispersed the circles to sadnesses. We could not allow the unjustified human losses.
Change the belongings was easier. Our clear policy was a superiority in some one area of the material provision, whether gunpowder, machine guns or any another that could have solving importance. All were subordinated superiority in solving place and in chips are down approach. We could work out the doctrine, provided smaller expenseses to account of the weakening of power in comparison with enemy on whichever direction or area, except наиважнейшего. The Decision that exactly to consider such, always remained for us. The Majority of the wars was a war of the combat contact. Both parties strove;strived to him to avoid the dangers of the sudden hold up. Our war was a war дистанцирования. We put its purpose of сдерживание enemy by taciturn threat, coming from unacquainted boundless desert, not finding itself before moment of the hold up. Such hold up could be purely nominal, directed not on most enemy, but on his(its) material facility. Thereby, question not in his(its) power or weaknesses, but in the most available object of the material provision. Under перерезании railway by object could be an empty area of the way, and than he безлюднее, that more were tactical success. We could transform the average arithmetical such tacticians in rule (but not in law since war amoral) and абсолютизировать refusal of direct contact with enemy. This answered multiple call never to become the dartboard.
The Many turk during the whole war as well as did not introduce the event to open on us fire, and us never happened to to occupy the defence, with the exclusion of incidental circumstance or error.
The Result of the using of such rule becomes "ideal exploring", allowing certain to build the plans.
The Main by agent serves генеральская head, understanding the situation must be faultless and not to leave the place an accident. When we shall be aware of enemy all, this will raise our combat spirit on due height. We must enclose more effort for gaining of information, than staff of any regular join. I drew to a close its subject. The Algebraic factor was "translated on arabic" and подошел to our reality as glove to hand. This promised the victory. The Biological factor has dictated us development of the tactical line, as a whole corresponding to ability of our people them племен. Remained to add the form psychological element. I addressed to Ksenofontu and has stolen beside it to give this name, word "диатетика" -- so was marked that, than concerned with the persian tsar Kir, previously than strike a blow. Dirty and low-lying product of this notion became our word "propaganda". She was a medical facility during war, nearly patent medicines. Somewhat she touched and crowd, bring condition of her(its) spirit before point, when became possible with profit to manipulate her, and orientating her(its) moods on achievement determined to purposes. Somewhat -- influenced upon each person, but hereinafter changed in rare art of excitement goal-directed emotion, overrun logical sequence of the thinking. She was more fine, than tactics since dealt with subject, unfit for direct control. She took into consideration moods of the people, their complexes and inconstancy, as well as possibility to encourage them to the whole that promised the advantage to our deal. It is Necessary in the same way to adjust their consciousness that they fought with reasonable caution, as other frankly adjust before боем their own bodies. We
must adjust the consciousness not only our people though, naturally, they on the first plan, but also consciousness soldier enemy, insofar they are found within our досягаемости, as well as the other wits to nations, supported us in rear since more halfs of any battle passed in rear. Besides -- and wits to hostile nation, expecting upshot, and нейтралов, looked at all this on the part of. And so circle for around.
There was ensemble of the disparaging material restrictions, but nothing impossible with moral standpoint so limits our "диатетической of" activity were unlimited. She mainly defined the facility of the victory on arabic front, and her(its) novelty was advantage. The Printing press and each new way communication favoured the superiority of the wit on physical power moreover civilization always paid for achievements of the reason human body. We, игрушечные солдатики, began to master the martial art in atmosphere of the twentieth century, without prejudices taking in hands weapon. For regular officer, with forty generations military for back, old-time weapon was most subject to pride. Since we were seldom conceived on that that do our people, but always on that that they thought, "диатетика" formed more halfs to our command activity. In Europe she was several are postponed aside and is entrusted people outside the General staff. In Asia regular elements were so VWVhave diarrhea that insurgent could not leave to rust this metaphysical weapon втуне.
The Battles in Arabia were an error since single profit, which we of them extracted, was an expense amunition beside enemy. Napoleon has somehow said that seldom possible to see the general, wanting first to enter in fighting, but curse of this war consisted in that that too little were such, who wanted do something another. Saks speaks that unreasable wars -- last refuge глупцов. I they introduce sooner tax, which is taxed party, considering itself more weak moreover risk inevitable or for want of space, or because of need to protect the property, which is valued above soldier lifes. We нечего to lose from things so best mode of behavior for us will nothing not to defend and nor in who not to shoot. Our VWVplay a trump -- time and speed, rather then ability to kill. In this sense invention meat air-tight gave us more, than invention of the smokeless gunpowder; it has provided us not tactical, but strategic power since in Arabia way важнее of power, but space cost(stand)s more than might army.
I already eight days lay in tent on hurt, generalising their own ideas*.
[* Possible, not so successfully, as here. I thought over the problems mainly to Hidzhazu with reference to, illustrating their own thoughts that that has learned;learnted of his(its) folk and geographical particularity. Describe their was too long so arguments are compressed in certain abstract form, in which they are smell(blowed in) more by kerosine lamp, than sex.
As, however, and any notes about war. (Note avt.) *] Brain fevered from неподдержанных раздумий, happened to to force to work the effort to will any time he was weakened and fell into weary nap. The Fever passed, dysentery ended, and day present once again became for me actual. The Concrete facts pushed aside each other локтями, and moody wit by a narrow margin laid itself way to flight. I hurried выстроить in row their own misty principles to definitively their elaborate, previously than shall not be able their припомнить.
I introduced proved that our rebellion зиждется on impregnable base, protected from hold up not only, but also from awe before him. There is experienced enemy, occupied more ground, than he could real to check, resting in consolidated posts. There is
the well-disposed population, from which active on-persisting whole two persons on a hundred, but rest лояльны exactly so to not to betray the minority. In asset insurgent -- whittling conspiracy and self-verification, as well as speed of the action, stability and independent channels of the provision.
In their dictation it is enough technical facilities to paralyse the communication of the enemy. The Province will be our, cost(stand)s to call her(its) civil population to die for ideals of the liberty. The Presence of the enemy -- secondary factor.
The Final victory introduced undoubted if war is prolonged as much time as us for this it is necessary.
CHAPTER 34
Having Recovered, I have recalled about reason of its trip in Vadi Ais. The Turk were going to уйти from Mediny, and sir Archibalid Myurrey wanted that we have attacked them on all rule. Us irritated his(its) arrival from Egypt specially to look at our шоу, requiring from us execution союзнических obligations. But британцы were all strong, and arabs were to live their favour. We were clinging to сэру Archibalidu Myurreyu and are obliged to work with him, жертвуя their own пустяшными interest if they fell into contradiction with his(its) will. In ditto time we at all could not act such a image. Feysal could be carried as wind; the army сэра Archibalida, probably, the most bulky on light, by a narrow margin crept onward step for at a walk. Funny, there was expect in him ability to become reconciled with such flexible ethical concept, as arabic motion: very doubtful even that he in general their understood. However possible that, having cut railway, we have were able force the turk to abandon to plan of the evacuations Mediny and give him base to remain in city, заняв defence. This uncoupling was more tempting and for arab, and for англичан though, possible, neither that, nor other this until understood.
The Ithaca, I fell into tent Abdully and has declared about its full recovery, as well as about readiness anything do with Hidzhazskoy iron expensive. Us had a people, guns, machine guns, взрывчатка and automatic mines in amount, sufficient for the main of the blow. But Abdulla was apathetic. He wanted to speak of royal surname of the Europe or about battle on Somme: he has bored the slow move of the war. However sheriff SHakir, his(its) cousin and the second person in command, blazed the enthusiasm and guaranteed us liberty in all. SHakir loved the атейбов and клялся that they best tribe on the ground so we have solved to take with you mainly атейбов. Have Then thought that quite well to grab and mountain instrument, one of the крупповских relic to egyptian army, sent Feysalom from Vedzha in gift Abdulle.
SHakir has promised to collect power, and we agreed that I follow to leave on front (not hurry, considering my weakness) for reconnaissance and choice of the object of the hold up.
Nearest and large was a station Aba an-Naam. Along with me left Raho, algerian officer to french army, member to missions Bremona, industrious and honest small.
Conductor was Muhammed el-Kadi, whose oldster father, hereditary judge of the tribe джухейна, but December past year has brought the turk to YAnbo. Vosemnadcatiletniy Muhammed was a strong taciturn lad. Us accompanied the sheriff Fauzan el-Harit, famous warrior, captivated in Dzhanbile Eshrefa with two groups of ten атейбов and five times or six times swashbuckler from джухейнцев.
We have left twenty sixth March, at the very day, when sir Archibalid Myurrey has attacked the Gas, and moved on Vadi Aisu, but already in three hours was realized that heat was for me unbearable; we happened to to stop and wait out the noonday ardent heat under big tree cider (like chinese date, but with rare fruit). Beside these tree thick foliage. Blew the cool east wind, and flies was little. Vadi Ais drowned in luxurious verdure rubbed and prickly tree, midair spun;span the ensemble a butterfly and was poured aroma wild colour. We once again взгромоздились on camel to evening only and have done only small transition, having turned from Vadi Aisa to the right, past destroyed terrazzoes and водоема in the corner valleys. In this her(its) part at one time were a villages, inhabitants which carefully used for полива their own garden by water from underground sources, now here was emptily.
The Following in the morning we happened to by a narrow margin to advance in pass-by spur Dzhebeli VWVget angry to Vadi Turaa, history valley, bound easy by superable mouting pass with Vadi YAnbo. And this time we have conducted the noonday watch under тенистым by tree, not far from tents bedouin from tribe джухейна, in guests to which left Muhammed while we have rescued. Then we continued our way else two hours on rather sinuous trope and at nightfall encamped on night. I do not повезло: when I lay, I have stung in left hand early spring scorpion. The Place of the bite swollenned, hand has stiffened, and pain did not pass.
At five o'clocks morning we after long night once again set off in road through the last hills to Dzhurfu, mildly всхолмленному open space, stretched on south, to Dzhebeli Antaru, crater with split by top, reminding lock and done by his(its) good landmark. We have took a little правее, under protection of the low hills, separated him(it) from valley Vadi Hamdh, on which and passed the railway. For these hill we went on south before opposite Aba an-Naama. There stopped on place to sleep, quite to enemy close, but in full safety. The Top dominated on terrain, occupied enemy, and we else before sunset rose on it and have for the first time seen necessary us station.
The Height this whirlled hill was, probably, feet six hundred, and, rising to top, I several times stopped to take a short rest(die), but then review overhand came in well. The Railway was found mile in three from us. Two greater two-story buildings stood On stations, built from basalt, round водокачка and several other buildings. There were are seen колоколообразные of the tent, barracks and trenches, but no sign gun. On estimation on eye there was whole hundreds three soldiers.
We heard that turk on night actively patrol to vicinities. This complicated the deal, and we have sent two soldiers to stations with order will lie beside each блокпоста and at nightfall do there several shots.
The Soldiers of the enemy, having thought that begins the hold up, have conducted whole night in trench, we peacefully улеглись to sleep, however much early us have woke;waked its whistle among surrounded camp greater tree cool wind, risen to morning on elbowroom Dzhurfa. When we rose on its observation post, sun одолело облака, and already in hour became very hot.
We, as lizards, lay in high herb, разросшейся around stone, built pyramid on top, and looked at building of the garrison. Three hundred ninety nine foot soldiers, similar afar on tinny солдатиков, сбежались under sounds of the signal pipe, forming clear formation under wall of the black building. Finally once again раздался the signal of the pipe, they scattered on territory of the stations, and through several minutes on she already rose the smoke from campfires, on which soldiers were taken prepare itself meal. The herd sheep moved In our party and geese, drived by ragged boy. Has Not haved time to he get to foots of the hills, as on valley разнесся with north loud whistle and was into view shown slowly выкатившийся tiny, as on picture, train. Progrohotav on гулко called back bridge, he stopped before most station, puffing on white club pair.
The Boy-shepherd, sharply shouting on geese, persistently drived its herd upwards on west declivity of our hill in quest of best pasture. We have sent him toward two джухейнцев, which, escaping from eye of the enemy, for гребнем hill came down with two parties and have seized him(it). He was from rambling хетеймов, steamed to deserts, sent their own hungry детей on earnings in shepherds to neighboring племенам.
The Boy continuously голосил and tried to get free, seen, as his(its) geese wander off on hill. The Soldiers have finally lost the patience, have crudely ed him(it), not ceased to yell dread from thought about that that his(its) can kill.
Fauzanu cost the greater хлопот his(its) calm down whereupon he was taken question the boy about his(its) turkish хозяевах, but that could not think nor about than, except its herd: he with miserable type watched after scattered animal, and bitter tears left the извилистые tracks on dirty person.
The Shepherds represented the certain separate class. For usual arab home centre was sort of university, around which was concentrated on whole their world, and where they heard the most interesting -- news of its tribe, his(its) history, poetry; on their eye occurred and suits, and all the manner of deals. Constantly participating in household advice, they became the master of the expression feeling, dialectics, orator, capable to hold with value in any meeting, and never climbed in pocket for word. For shepherd nothing this did not exist. They from childhood followed its vocation, in all timeses of the year and under any weather, daytime and in the night remaining amongst hills, doomed on solitude in society animal. In this savageries, amongst иссохших of the bones of the nature, they grew on her(its) law, not having neither the most slightest notion nor about mankind, nor about his(its) deal, and hardly their possible was consider to be normal in worldly sense of the word. But they were made wiser in all as to plants, wildlifes, more so habit of their own geese, as well as sheep, whose milk was a main by source of their existence. In contact with the other people they were closed, but some of they became sooner animal, than people, dangerous своею by savagery, nor on step not leaving from their own herd and found in them satisfaction their own male вожделений, not interesting more natural ulcerating to passions.
During several hours after seizure пастушонка single driving object into view was a sun.
While it rose, we have thrown the raincoats and enjoyed the благодатным by heat. The Contemplate personified full quietness hiltop has returned me feeling and interest to surrounding lifes, blunted for time disease. I turned out to be capable in the next once to value the typical landscape of the hills with their callous гребнями, steep declivity from nacked sort and пологими slope каменистых осыпей, on measure of the approximation to base mingled with fine-grained dry ground. Stone Itself represented itself sparkling yellow, burnt sun frail жильный mineral with red, green or brown, depending on concrete place, прожилками, rung at fall by metallic ringing. On each scrap of the soft soil sprouted the prickly bushes, quite often got the isle of the herb, usually in the manner of dozens long narrow стеблей straw-wanted colour and height before knee, выраставших from one root. On the end their were an empty ear, framed arrow of the silvery fuzz. From this herbs, as well as from more short variety, whose look like ершик for bottles of the head pearl-sulphur of the colour reached before ankle only, declivities of the hills seemed the wroughted white fur, which bits of fluff were lowered to us under each casual waft winds.
The best pasture became Due to this vegetation declivities hills. In valley травостой was above, herb was high before belt and brightly-green while remained fresh, but soon faded before usual colour of the yellow cinders.
On ribbed from went offed water song and pebble русел between separate prickly tree, height which quite often reached the forty feet, заросли of the herb were lees. The Tree cider with their dry сахаристыми fruit got seldom. But around our camp bloomed the bushes of the ed tamarisk, high ракитника, the other varieties high rubbed, some flowerses, and all that was dotted thorn, showing itself beautiful example of vegetation хиджазских предгорий. We used whole one of the plants, and this was хемеид: sorrel with стрельчатыми heart-shaped sheet, its pleasing кислинкой slaked our thirst.
With approach сумерек we started to come down back together with captive, torn away from goose herd, and with that that us to manage thereof herd to save. This at night were to approach our main of the power so we with Fauzanom came whole sunk in mirk plain until have found amongst low pleat of terrain suiting fire position for instrument, less than in two thousand yard from station. When we, much tired, returned back, between tree already flashed the lights campfires. Right before profit SHakir, and his(its) people together with our with pleasure fried on supper гусятину. The Shepherd has fastened for that revenge, where has rescued I since he absolutely ed mad, when has seen the ruin entrusted him geese. He refused to touch to offered to meal, and only power to manage to force his(its) eat bread with rice under awe of the terrible punishment for contempt hospitality. His(its) tried to convince in that that tomorrow we shall take the station and shall interrupt his(its) хозяев, but he did not quiet down and finally, from misgiving as it were he has not run down, his(its) happened to once again to fasten to tree.
After supper SHakir has said me that has brought whole three hundred persons instead of восьмисот or nine hundred, as it was solved.
However this was his(its) war, but, became to be, and his(its) care, and so we have hastily changed the plans. The Station we take not shall, shall simply frighten the turk by frontal artillery blow, but themselves заминируем the railway in north and south directions in payment to leave in trap arrived on station train. Accordingly we have equiped the group drilled Garlandom blaster, which must were at dawn blast the railway bridge on north from road area station, having cut thereby this direction, and have solved that I отправлюсь with взрывчаткой and with пулеметным by payment to mine the road an южнее to stations, whence turk will expect the help in these exceeding circumstance.
Muhammed el-Kadi before most полуночью conducted us before marked place of the railroad track. I was ordered to dismount and finger touched for the first time in all time of the war to vibrated rail. Then after long hour of the tough job we have pawned the mine an нажимного actions. Twenty pounds of the dynamite were to burst under pressure run into on mine of the locomotive. Be through with this, we have placed пулеметный payment in hidden shrubbery riverbed small creek, in four hundred yard, having provided thereby full sector of the fire of that place, where, on payment, сойдет with rail train. Pulemetchiki were to occupy this position, but we left onward to cut the telegraph line. The Absence communication was to convince Abu el-Naama to send turned out to be on his(its) stations train for reinforcement, when we go in attack.
We passed else with half an hour, have turned to lines and once again turned out to be on unoccupied enemy place. Regrettably, none of four remained with us джухейнцев did not be able взобраться on telegraph pole, and I happened to to do this most. This was all, on that I was capable after disease;
when was cut third wire, bad вкопанный pole закачался, I have unclenched the hands and, slitherring on him, fell with шестифутовой of the height on shoulder strong Muhammeda straight, in time dashed to pole to not to give I am split, and a little has not broken him spine. We have lingered several minutes, translating breathing whereupon us to manage to get before their own camel, and we returned in camp in that moment just, when all sat in turned gray to двинуться onward.
Minirovanie has deprived for four hours more time, than was scheduled, and this delay has put(deliver)ed us before dilemma -- go to road along with all, not rested, or send the main of the power without us. Finally on advice SHakira we
give him to leave and свалились without power under familiar tree to take a nap although hour: otherwise, as I felt, I definitively came out of building. Before dawning remained much little time; that was a hour, when hunged midair alert influenced upon tree and on animal and forced even sleeping, sighing, be turned over with side on side. Muhammed, desired by all means to see fighting, awoke. To raise and me, he ed it is necessary me and has yelled me in ear call to matutinal prayer. Vorvavshiysya in my dreams rough voice has added to him confusion of the sensations of the battle, murder, sudden death. I sowed;sown, протер fevered from sand of the eye, and we hotly заспорили about prayer and about VWVappear in the dreams. He bemoaned on that not each day occur fighting, shown the cuts and bruises, got, when he helped me in the night. My own bruises allowed me to understand his(its) feeling, and we set off to overtake the army, having freed before this wretch boy-shepherd and having advised he дождаться our return.
The Uneven chain trace in twinkled, выглаженном water song indicated us road, and we arrived on place in that most minute, when instruments have opened the fire. They worked is exceed. The Projectiles have разнесли in piece top one buildings, have damaged second, have knocked on pumping installation and продырявили water reservoir. One ingenious shot has overpunched the sheeting of the front coach of the composition, and that fired frantic blaze. This испугало the mechanical engineer, and surrounded locomotive, taking velocity, has rolled on south. We greedily watched, as he approaches to our mine, but when he turned out to be on her, in air взметнулось the cloud of fine dust, and before us донесся the sound of the blast, then all have grown still. The Anteroom part locomotive was. From locomotive have darted out the mechanical engineers and started to raise the jack travell about, trying somehow correct the deal.
We long waited, but our machine gun as well as has not spoken. Later we have heard that пулеметчики, впав in solitude in panic, have packed the machine gun and left to us in that moment, when we have begun the артобстрел. Polutora hour later corrected locomotive with черепашьей by velocity, aloud clanking all their own parts, left further, to Dzhebeli Antaru.
Our arabs under protection of the gunfire advanced to stations, but we remained only in fury to gnash the teeth, cursing пулеметчиков. The Clubs of the smoke from blazed platforms closed advancement an arab, which have deleted one outpost of the enemy and have taken in captivity personal composition other.
The Turk has conducted their own remained integer troops on main position, and that started to wait the assault in trench; they at all could not know that we intending to leave. But after all under our positional advantage station could be for us the present gift.
In the interim all that was on stations wooden, as well as tents and coaches, has covered the flame; the thick smoke disturbed us aiming to shoot, and we have stopped the operation. We have taken in captivity thirty soldiers, have seized one mare, two camels and else several sheeps and have sent on that light, and wounded seven groups of ten soldier garrison, and all this price of the light wounding only one our бойца. Motion on railway was interrupted on three day, during which turk concerned with the repair and exploring. Thereby, all it is impossible was say that we have tolerated get fat failure."max", which follow to arm the officer and soldier of the garrison to egyptian army in Sudan. This and was explained presence Nafi-бея and his(its) join.
The Arabs were pleased and have solved that now they сравнялись on power with turk. Bwhich were vaguely guessed in mist hung ardent heat on them.
Straight northward one more group of the monochrome constructions loomed from Dzhiddy, is woke;waked swung upwards and downwards, like gigantic поршням to in tact fluctuations deducted by an. 160 google.com and
