Lieutenant Speke Saw But
A Small Portion Of It, And That, Too, During The Dead Season.
Its exports
speak for themselves:
Guano, valuable gums, hides, peltries, mats,
clarified butter, honey, and Dumbah sheep. From the ruins and the
traditions of the country, it is clear that a more civilised race once
held these now savage shores, and the disposition of the people does not
discourage the hope entertained by every Englishman--that of raising his
fellow man in the scale of civilisation.
Camp, Aden, March, 1855.
