OCR Text
well-spoken with the people, and cool in diffi-
culties. He was a good companion, too, and
on the long marches and in the evenings in the
tent, he used to tell me of his travels, in the
course of which he had been in Egypt, and
was in Constantinople at the time of the
Russian war. What struck him most about
the Russians was that their soldiers were
"pukka," that is, hardy. They were not so
well treated as ours in the way of food and
clothing, but they were "pukka," he kept on
repeating, and ready to go through any amount
of hardships. The trait he did not like in the
Russians was their passion for passports; they
were always at him for his passport, so that
there was always a certain amount of difficulty
or obstruction in moving about, and this inter-
fered with his constitutional habit of roving.
He was a strict Mohammedan, and seemed to
me to be always praying, though he assured
me he only did so the regulation five times a
day. As to us, he thought we had no religion.
He had observed us going to church on Sun-
days, but that was only once a week, and he
did not know what we did for the remainder of
the seven days.
