whom the Alahdi honors as true servant
in the cause Of Mahomet. The Mahdi
might make a partial peace with the Eng

He would refuse to accept the title Of

dive or from the Sultan, but would re-
main the Mahdi. He aimed at conquest
in the Soudan and hoped rising would
take place in Arabia against the Turks.
