ARAB ROBBER.—By this time it had become quite
light, when we saw at a distance of about a mile to the
right, and a little before us, a man on horseback, with a
long spear in his hand. He had taken his stand upon a
very high mountain, where he had a view both of the road
to the Jordan; and of that on which we were—to the Dead
Sea. Immediately on perceiving our party, he came towards
us; and when he came up, he addressed a few werds to our
guard, and then came to me, and looked me right in the
face, as if to intimidate me. He had a ferocious and bad
appearance; but though he turned behind me with his huge
spear in his hand, I never showed the least sign of being
intimidated, not even so much as to look back at him. He
had seen me eating an orange, so lie went to Nicalo and
told him to come and ask me for one, which I gave to
