1884kii Garaadka Bartire waxa la odhan jiray Garaad Mahamed Ahmed sidu qoray Swayn Cawar. Faruur Xirsi waagaas Garaad ma ahayn sidu sheegay,

Taariikhdu waxay ku saxsantay inu Raage Ugaas ninku dilay ahaa Garaad Xirsi Garaad Faarax oo ku magac dheer Wiil-waal aanu ahayn sidaad sheegtay wiilku awowga u ahaa.

During my interview with Banagiis^, Mahomed Ahmed,
the poor Gard or Sultan of the Bertiri Som^lis, sat in my tent
looking dejected and never daring to utter a word. It appears
his dignity had suff'ered at the hands of the Abyssinians during
the last few months, he being obliged to "trot about like a
dog " between the karias to fetch cows for the soldiers to eat.

162 THROUGH SOMALILAND AND ABYSSINIA chap.

The GerAd was slightly built, and had the intelligent face and
well-cut features of the best kind of Somdii, a great contrast to
the coarse-featured soldiers who were allowed to hector over
him. Despite his old, worn-out tobe he still looked dignified.
Before the arrival of these Abyssinians, who came into the
Bertiri country like a swarm of locusts when they took Harar,
the Gerdd had been a man of some repute. But the Abyssinians
took away all his power, and he is now of little consequence.

My intercourse with Banagiise depended on several inter-
preters ; he spoke Amhdric to Gabratagli, who passed it on to
my interpreter, Adan Yusuf, in Arabic, and the latter translated
into Hindustani for my benefit. By the time a sentence reached
me Banagiise was thinking of something else, so we did not make
much progress.

The Abyssinians preferred tea to coflfee; and I noticed
Banagiise rather craned at his cup, and handed it to a friend
first, suspecting poison. But my headman, Adan Yusuf, full
of tact, said quietly, ^^ Mafish khoff^' (No fear), and giving a
short laugh, he took a long draught from the cup, and filled it
again for the great man.

On 9th March, in the early morning, Banagiise sent over
Abadigal to say he was leaving for Gojar, and requesting that
I would visit him in the stockade ; so posting a sentry in camp
I took nineteen of the men in line, rode across the valley, and
drew up at the Abyssinian zerlba. Leaving most of the men
outside I entered with four, passing a sentry who saluted me
by presenting arms in Abyssinian fashion ; and walking across
the zeriba I entered Banagiis6's hut. Here I found his notables
assembled, all seated on the ground. I was invited to take my
place on a raised platform with Banagiis^, while Adan Yusuf and
the other interpreters squatted in front. Banagiis6 was polite,
but having little to say, he left Gabratagli to do all the talking.

After a somewhat embarrassing leave-taking I trotted back
to camp on my camel, and Banagiis^ issued from the stockade ;
and, followed by his army, marched over the plain towards
Gojar. Looking with my telescope from camp an hour later,
I made them out in the far distance, and it was pleasant to
have seen the last of them.

I was glad to halt at Jig-Jiga for a few days, as the plains
were dotted over with game. My men were a thoroughly good
lot of fellows, and I was particularly pleased with the way in
which they enabled me to show a bold front to Banaguse.



VI A VISIT TO RAS MAKUNAN OF HARAR, 1893 163

One day I went out into the plains with three or four men,
and found immense herds of hartebeests and Soemmerring's
gazelles ; but the day being windy, they were very shy. The
gazelles were always galloping about and starting the masses
of beisa and hartebeests. They would draw up in front of the
larger game, appearing to know that I did not want to fire at
them, sometimes giving me very easy chances. At last, seeing
no chance of the larger game, and being in want of meat, I
shot two Soemmerring's gazelles right and left, one a very good
buck with a thick winter coat ; and on the way to camp I saw
a bull hartebeest standing, as he thought, out of range, some
four hundred yards away, so I lay prone and brought him down
with a careful shot from the Martini-Henry.

returning to camp, I found messengers from one Farur
Gerad Hirsi, a relation of the Bertiri Sultdn, who was at his
karia two miles away, and had " pains all over his body," so he
had sent his sons to call me. I gave him twenty drops of
chlorodyne and half a dozen quinine pills, one to be taken daily.
I was received with great enthusiasm by a crowd of some two
hundred of his womenfolk and male relations, all calling out
" Nahad " (Welcome). The GerAd said he would have had him-
self carried to my camp, but not while the hated Abyssinians
remained there. The elders flocked around to lay complaints
before me of the treatment they had received from the Abyssinian
invaders. They said that Banagiis6 was lazy, and did not
administer the country a bit ; that he and his mob were good
neither at fighting nor governing, and that the only thing they
could do was bullying the karias for the extraction of cattle,
which his soldiers eat raw. The Gerdd told me that ten cows
were taken last month from his karia alone. Another man,
Ibrahim Gi\ri (Rer Ali), lost seventy-six camels, two hundred
sheep, and five huts in one day; and he and his wife were
arrested and taken away by the Abyssinians towards Harar.
These are samples of the arbitrary behaviour of frontier officials.
