390 HOSTILITY OF THE ASSA-HEMERAH. 



After sunset a large drove of camels, sheep, and 

 goats, were seen moving towards the Assa-hemerah 

 village behind the ridge, but we saw nothing more 

 of the inhabitants. They were evidently influenced 

 by some hostile feeling towards us, for on every 

 other occasion of being in an inhabited neighbour- 

 hood, the women, or at least the children, would 

 bring in milk or young kids as presents, or for 

 sale.
