Shah Mirza now came up to me and said that there was a mullah in the village who had an infallible charm for stopping the snow, and a present of a few rupees would no doubt set it in motion.

I promptly inquired how it was the mullah was not carrying a load, but was told he was too old to help in that way, but would be only too delighted to overcome the elements; so I gave the Mirza to understand that if the mullah would stop the snow-storm the Sirkar would make him, the mullah, a great man; in the meantime, I would give him a couple of rupees on account.

Shah Mirza went off joyfully, evidently having implicit faith in the mullah.

Among others I got hold of the mullah's, who became very indignant; but I pointed out to him that as his prayers seemed to have no effect on the snow, perhaps his shovel would make up for their deficiencies.

On the way I saw the mullah's shovel sticking up in the snow, with one half of the blade snapped off.

Alas, poor mullah!

We thought differently, and requested them to carry boxes of ammunition; one of them, the owner of the Snider, objected, on the ground that he was a mullah, but the objection was overruled as frivolous, and he accompanied us to Chitral.

He heard of the growing power of the old Mullah by the river-bank.

I imagine that Shere Ali realised that it would be wiseas undoubtedly it wasfor him to make his peace with the Mullah, and sent him accordingly the melons and the bags of grain as an earnest of his good-will.

The fight had become a symbol, almost a message to him, even as his gift to the Mullah had become a message to the people of Chiltistan.

"Thus they understand my gift to the Mullah?"

Phillips could have gone on with the prayer himself, had the Mullah failed.

"It is the tomb of a saint," and he called to the mullah for corroboration of his words.

There rose a clamour among the seven who waited in the doorway, and loudest of all rose the voice of the mullah, protesting against Shere Ali's promise.

"Will you fetch it?" said Shere Ali, and as Phillips walked off, he turned towards the nobles and the old mullah who stood amongst them.

In the same way muchooah is derived from much, a fish, and mullah means boatman, strictly speaking, rather than fisherman.

The head mullah, a wary grizzled old veteran, gives the orders.

I have interviewed the MULLAH, KRUGER, MENELIK, ABDULLAH, LOBENGULA, SITTING BULL and Clan-na-Gael; When I think of where I've been, what I've done and what I've seen, I'm surprised that I'm alive to tell the tale.

Rise, stand at attention with clasped hands until the cry of the mullah announced that the ceremony was over; whereupon everybody turned to embrace his family and friends in a most affectionate manner, again and again.

Moussa Isa also knew that there was talk among Pathan horse-dealers and budmashes of the coming of one Ilderim the Weeper, a mullah of great influence and renown, and talk, moreover, among men of other race, of a Great Conspiracy.

At midday, after the visit of the physician, when the attendants had gone to perform the rites of noon-tide prayer, when their sleepy voices were still, and nought but the cry of the mullah resounded from afar, Ammalát listened to a soft and cautious step upon the carpets of the chamber.

still Is the forest of the hill!" "Russian shot our hearts is rending, Falls the Mullah on his knee, To the Lord of Light bows he, To the Prophet he is bending: Like a shaft his prayer ascending, Upward flies to Allah's throne Il-Alláh!
