Description.
Barh-am-’Ashata (or
Khurj)
From Barh-am-’Asbara (also called Barh-am-Khurj) the
line proceeds in a general north-westerly direction, and
follows the north side of the road running along the foot
of J.-am-Ibda:, and keeping to the left bank of the Wadi
Khasana (52), reaches the col called Barh-am-Mashrak
(37) at the point numbered LX VI.
Barh-am-Mashrak ..
From Barh-am-Mashrak it ascends to a point on the
northern spur of J. Tufasu (47), and crossing W.
Ghoref (29) at a point about half a kilometer to the west
of the hamlet of Khabal (36), ascends to the summit of
J. Numan.
J. Ntiman ..
From J. Numan the line turns in a south-westerly direction,
and follows the watershed between the Red Sea and the
Gulf of Aden, passing through the points Barh-ar-Ruwes
(34), J.-arr -Najaj (39), J. Sef, Barh-al-Haima (a col
about H kilom. to the south of the hamlet of A1 Raima)
(49), Nrjd-am-Rahaz (54), J. Sin Santa, to the summit of
J. Jariba.
J. Jariba ..
It then descends the south-west spur of J. Jariba, and goes
straight in an almost due westerly direction to the
summit of J. Kahbub, from which point it crosses the
tract of desert country in a straight line to the top of
J. Kuwah leaving the well of A1 Hajari on the Turkish
side.
J. Kuwah ..
From the summit of J. Kuwah (see large scale map of Sheikh
Said jo^oo) boundary line follows the heights to the
highest point (LXX) on the south-eastern spur of J.
Kuwah. The point LXX is situated about 600 yards,
i.e., nearly 550 metres to the west and south of the hill
called J. Mijbiya on the large scale map, and is marked
by a cairn of rough stone, some 2 metres in height,
erected by the Turks.
J. Laheji ..
From LXX the line runs straight to point LXXI on the
mo-T northerly of the two rocky hillocks lying to the
north and west of J. Sue’diya. Point XXI is marked by
a masonry pillar in cement, about 2^ feet square at the
base and 5 feet in height. The two hillocks are known
T .o the Arabs as Jebel Laheji.
Husn Murad
From point LXXI the boundaiy runs again in a straight
line to the highest point of the headland called llusn
Murad. At LXXIl a pillar of masonry in cement, 2£ feet
at the base and 6 feet high, has also been erected. Husn
Murad is sometimes called Sheikh Murad, or simply A1
Husn (i.e., the fort), from an old native-built fort, the
remains of which still exist at the spot.
..
From this pillar the line follows the crest of Husn Murad
to the water’s edge at a point marked LXXI on the
boundary map.
