the superb curls, and his cuff button
caught in curl, and of came the en-

The butler was Mortified. He
jerked the wig off the button and
clapped it, quick as flash, on the
bald head beneath his hand. Unfor-
tunately, though, he had moved a cou'
pie of steps, and the head he clapped
the wig on was that Of the bald man

Used. "Baled-es-Soharah' the natives
call Oman, which means "The Land
OF the Enchanters" The water front
is alive with weird yarns Of fancy
magic and occult mysteries. Half the
fiction of the Arabian Nights could
have been lifted bodily from any Of the
same sort Of stories which are told
and retold in the coffee shops Of Mas

From Maskat north the heat by day
aboard the Kola became more intense,

about the burning deck, beneath the
scorching canvas awning. Heat apo

OF suffering; one lives each day In
fear of the heat. Our dizzy heads and

glass still showed 11S, but we felt
some slight relief.
Tales Of Marine Monsters.
The morning of the third day from
Maskat we anchored in the delta OF
the Shat-elArab, or River of the Arabs.
This is the name given to the Tigris
and Euphrates rivers, after they unite
on their way to the gulf. A few miles
upstream lay the Persian town of Mo
hammereh. Braving dangers from
sharks, stingrays and other pests to
white men swimming in the gulf, we
bathed long and luxuriously in the
cooler waters of the great stream
which comes all the way from Armenia.
Marine monsters Of many sorts swim
in the hot Persian gulf, and the lurid
tales Arabs tell Of them would fill an
Atlantic City reporter with honest
envy. One writer says: "Our dhow
passed through shoals Of giant garf1sh,
dozens of which, attracted by our Ian
tern. leaped aboard They had long,
pointed noses and one of our party

into the Shat-el-Arab-lay the fiat,
mud-hut town of Mohammereh itself, a
! lnonotonous, sun-baked village blown
to fragments by British guns in their
war on Persia generation ago. Near
by, half-hidden in the changing mud
banks, observed an old wreck. Later
learned her history; she was the
famous old Fox, once blockade run
ner in the American Civil war. But
how she got to Mohammereh, 15,OOl
miles away by sea, do not know.
