This evening the asses belonging to ■^he place were driven iv A DEKVISH. 249 from pasture — four or five hundred in all ; and such a show of curious asinine specimens as I neyer before beheld. A Dervish, who was with us in Quarantine, at Adana, has just arrived. He had lost his teskere (passport), and on issuing forth purified, was cast into prison. Finally he found some one who knew him, and procured his release. He had come on foot to this place in five days, sufiEering many privations, havin...g been forty- eight hours without food. He is bound to Konia, ou a pil- grimage to the tomb uf Hazret Mevlana, the founder of the sect of dancing Dervishes., We gave him foqd^ in return for which he taught me the formula of his prayers. He tells me i should always pronounce the name of Allah when my horse stumbles, or I see a man in danger of his life, as the wor 1 has a saving power. Hadji Youssuf, who has just been begging for an advance of twenty piastres to buy grain for his horses, swore '' by the pardon of God " that he would sell the lame horse at Konia and get a better one.
