Wed 23 [23 April 1902] All the 4 Americans went off early to my great
regret. There remain in the hotel a party of Syrians Fuad Saad and
his wife and children and governess, nice people, from Akka ['Akko
(Acre)]. Muhammad Ali and Badi' Allah live in his house. Rode up
from Balad esh Sheikh meaning to find my way up to Khureibeh, but I
missed it and got into impossible places and was obliged to turn
back. Found the lovely wild broom.
