Excerpt from Travels in Southern Abyssinia, Vol. 2 of 2: Through the Country of Adal to the Kingdom of ShoaCarmel Ibrahim and another of my escort were busy paring the skin of a goat, just killed, into the little twisted symbil, or ornaments, with which it is usual to adorn the head, wrists, ankles, and also the weapons of warriors who have Slain a foe. Whilst thus employed, they sung in a Sharp falsetto voice some song of triumph, their voices being elevated considerably, as every fresh comer from Dinnomalee arrived. Above us, to the left, the inhabitants of the little town were making sad lamentations, and loud sobbing cries over the dead body of one of their people who had been killed in the engagement.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
