Hamitic wedding dance 

 " In this book of almost unknown regions," says The Saturday Review, 

 " we have fascinating narratives of Hamitic customs and Arabian sword- 

 dances, of Muslim tombs standing neglected in the desert, and of noinad 

 tribes who fold their tents and steal away by night and starshine. The 

 author also speaks of the mystery of the Red Sea, its making and its 

 coralline reets. After reading his book we wonder with him at the neglect 

 of this route through the Red Sea."
