In ten or twelve days after the arrival of the tribe in El 
Ohiblah they went on a plundering expedition, taking Scott 
along with them. Their arms were muskets, and a weapon of 
the sabre shape, not so long, but as broad as a sword, which had 
a sheath and handle of brass. The chief of the tribe had a brace 
of pistols, and a sword, which had belonged to the Montezuma. 
In three days they reached the tents they wished to plunder, and

refuge in the Wad Seyghi, close to the sea-shore. There they 
remained two months, and were at one time almost starved for 
want of food ; at which time, Scott says he was of essential ser«

that they will not wet their feet with it if they can avoid it ; and,

supply of arms, and went in search of their old enemies, whom
