Goats of Mail Worn by Arabs in the Sou-

From ne AiheRo-"m.
Coats Of mail are still in use among some
Of the Soudanese Arab tribes. Whether
original or q copp, says Col. Colbourne, in
speaking of one Of these coats Of armor, it
was undoubtedly the dress OF the Crusaders.
The hauberk of mail was fastened round the
body by the baltan, and formed q complete
covering from head to foot. The long two
handed double-edged sword was borne be-
tween the leg and the saddle. The weArer
Of this medieval gsrb was Sheik Mohsmmed
Sebek of the Hslswin tribe of Bsgarra
Arabs. His armor had been in his family
$40 years. The horses head was encssed
in steel, and its body covered with q quilt
thick enough to turn spear. II was
shaped like the srmor one reads in Frois

Caucasus, who still habitually wear chain
srmor, shields and helmets, like medieval
knights. In fact. it was formerly general
among all the Caucasian tribes, and the
Cheo6enzes Of Daghgstsn still wore coats of
mail down to the beginning Of the present
century.
The armor does not appear TO have been
forged by these people themselves, but was
handed down, as among the Soudauese
Arabs, as an heirloom from generation to
generation in the families Of the chiefs,

everywhere from the time of the Crusades,
