APPENDIX. 
Sliman, the illustrious founder of that Mohammedan kingdom, 
he may have expected little resistance ; but he was beaten, 
and obliged to make a speedy retreat. This prince was suc- 
ceeded by his son Kharut II., who, during a reign of forty 
years, is said to have established greater tranquillity and 
happiness than were to be expected in a kingdom composed 
of such heterogeneous elements. 
The son of this king was Joda or Jaude, with the surname 
Kharif e' Timan, but better known under his honorary title, 
Mohammed Sulay or Sule (meaning the deliverer) — a title 
which was given to him by his subjects in consequence of the 
victory by which he saved his country from the yoke of the 
Furawy, who under the command of A'lm '1 Kasem, the se- 
cond son of A'hmed-Bokkor, and the sixth Mohammedan king 
of that country, had overrun Waday with a powerful army, 
in order to make it tributary. It is from this victorious 
king, who has made Waday honoured and respected by its 
neighbours, that the country has received its other name, 
viz. Dar Sulay. It is likewise this king, who at the close of 
his reign wrested Kanem from the hands of the sultan of 
Bornu, or at least the better part of it, by conquering 
Mando or Mondo, the town of the Tynjur, as well as Ma wo, 
the residence of a khalifa, invested by the sultan of Bornu ; 
and this is the commencement of the hostilities which are 
carried on between Bornu and Waday. Mohammed-Sulay is 
said to have reigned, like his father, forty years. To him 
succeeded his son Saleh, with the surname Derret, who has 
been almost unanimously represented to me as a bad sort of 
prince, although this seems to be owing to the circumstance of 
his having put to death a considerable number of ulama, a class 
of men who, in Waday, enjoy great authority. This king 
hastened his death by giving offence to the mother of his eldest 
son f Abd el Kerim, who belonged to the tribe of the Malanga ; 
for, instigated by her, it is said, her son f Abd el Kerim took 
the field against his father, while the latter, in the eighth 
year of his reign, had marched with an army against the 
Madala, the inhabitants of a place close to Madaba, and not
