Here and there a friend greeted us with a salaam; and gradually we wended our way around the hill with its old fort and temple and past the mosque where every morning at sunrise the Mahomedan priest cries I?3 GOD'S OUT-OF-DOORS from the minaret his "Allah-il- Allah!" — "God is God and Mahomet is his prophet! Come to prayer! Come to prayer! Come to prayer! Prayer is better than sleep !" Then, out into the open country ! Far and wide extended plantations of cocoa- nut palms with an earthern vesse...l fastened to each to catch the juice which, when fermented, serves as toddy, the Indian beer. A lithe, brown coolie was taking down the filled vessels.
