chap, viii.] BROWN MEN ARE CALLED WHITE. 237 
by the people of that country twelve months after I 
obtained this vague information at Latooka. 
Arabs, being simply brown, are called ivhite men 
by the blacks of these countries. I was called a very 
white man as a distinction, but I have frequently been 
obliged to take off my shirt to exhibit the difference 
of colour between myself and my men, as my face was 
brown.
