the next nine months he visited a number of places in India^ including
Lucknow ; Haidarabad (Dakkhan), Bombay, Karachi and Khairpur.
At Karachi he was countenanced by the Turkish Consul, who tried
to obtain for him an interview with the Mir of Khairpur. The body
of the late Mir had passed through Kadhimain on the way to Karbala,
and the Shaikh averred that those accompanying it had promised a
good reception at Khairpur to any visitor from Kadhimain; but the
Mir persisted in refusing the desired interview, and at the end of Sept

visiting Upper India, he came down in September from Muradabad to
Bombay and thence returned home by sea via Karachi and Muhammareh.
In 1899 Salih was again in India; landing at Karachi in April he
visitedMultan, Rampur, Lucknow and Simla; in June he was again
at Lucknow ; from Lucknow he removed to Murshidabad ; and in
