BELED FADHLI AND BELED YAFEI CHAPTER XXXV EXPERIENCES WITH THE YAFEI SULTAN In the same year, 1897, soon after our return thither from Sokotra, we left Aden to explore the Yafei and Fadhli countries.

Since leaving the British Empire we had been in the Fadhli country till we reached the Wadi Banna, or Benna, the boundary between the Beled Fadhli and Beled Yafei, then winding indeed was our way, for we were in thick wood; swords and daggers had to be used to cut a path, and we were brought to a standstill more than once, with our heads bent under trees, not daring to lift them.

Two Fadhli were once directed into the Banna bed by the Yafei of Al Husn, and when they were in the wood they set fire to it and burnt them.

The sources belong to the Yafei, and the Fadhli pay them annually 25 Maria Theresa dollars, a basket of dates, and a turban for the sultan, but the management is in the hands of seyyids in _inam_ for ever, they being supposed to be neutral, for fear a war might produce a drought.

Indeed, it grieved us to hear the kind Yafei spoken of with horror and detestation by the Fadhli, but no doubt they have a different point of view to ours.
