injuring any of the Seyyid^s people. On Mutlak's return to el-
Bereimy, the Seyyid Said made him a "present" of 40,000
dollars, but it seems highly probable, from certain statements
made in the sequel, that this sum was paid as Zahdk, or obli
gatory alms for religious purposes, and that it was stipulated
on the same occasion what amount of such tribute should be

orders of the Seyyid Said, and in the event of his death to
surrender the fortress to-him. Determined, if possible, to be
