Fri. Feb. 20 [20 February 1914] Last night Mhailam was agitated because there was a ferij of Shammar tents near us - we had seen the herdsmen and we did not know who they were. He went out into the dark and cried Oh watchers! whoever is hungry let him come to dinner! With us is Mhailam of the Sanad[?]. We go in peace. Whoever is hungry let him come and eat." But none came. In the morning M al M [Muhammad al Ma'rawi] rode up to their tents and brought back butter. The Shammar stayed behind today. I tipped them. But the brother Dafi came on with us, whereat Mhailam and F. [Fattuh] were much agitated, said he was khalawi and might rise up in the night, take a camel and some of our goods and be gone. I know not. But I tipped him and sent him back poor soul. We came down into the jellad which was full of shajar, brukkan which is very like arfej, girdi and others. Also of flights of twittering birds like sparrows, Shaiman. On the sandstone floor water pools were lying. We turned down to one at 7.30 and watered the camels. At 7.13 about a mile from us, bearing 130?, is the jelul of 'Awaid, masdud as I related above by the W. Sulaiman. At 9.10 I got the whole of the Friddat. At 10.15 the {Misma} Habran pass {over} to which we {had come} were going was 82. At 10.25 the Habran thulla Umm al Darub was 79? and the {Friddat 219-240} S. end of the Habran range 127?. At 12.7 the Friddat were 219-240, the Misma [Misma, Jibal] pass from which we had come 266? and the central saddle of Misma 250. At 12.13 Umm al Darub was 64? (we passed under it at 12.45) and our forward bearing 88?. At 12.45 back to Misma pass 266 and forward 82. We climbed up the sand which lies against the blackened sandstone crags and saw at 12.49, a cup between the thullan below us with khabras lying in it. At 1.33 I took a bearing on a big thulla 65?. It is the northernmost of the ridge which lies behind the West ridge of Habran. The bearing of this whole ridge from my camp was 50.118, 50 being the N end of this thulla. We came into camp under the W. ridge at 2 with abundance of ma'ashy[?]. The sun was hot for the last hour but after we camped I found the ther. only 64?. It may be 1-11/2 miles from the W. to the E. ridge where we are camped. A ferij of Shammar lies opposite us with 2 tents of Shammar from near Mosul [Mawsil, Al] whom my men recognized by their white sheep.
