. Discovery. Science. 12 DISCOVERY The mitlid of the Sheikh Umbarak began at 2 p.m. on April 14, on the morning of which day similar festivities were inaugurated in certain neighbouring villages in honour of their own particular sheikhs. A large crowd collected in the vicinity of the sheikh's tomb, several people, chiefly women, seating themselves around it on the outside. A blind woman, " the servant of the sheikh, " was receiving donations from the faithful on his behalf. As the donors presented their gifts, they recited the fatltah (the opening chapter of the I^^ur'an) in low and rapid tones. In the road which ran past the burial-ground, and in the adjacent. Fig. I.—the tomb of the sheikh umbarak AC EI, -I, AHUN. palm-grove, large crowds of people were enjoying themselves, and along the roadside booths had been erected wherein butchers, and vendors of sweet- meats, toys and other wares, plied their trade, to all appearance doing excellent business. Games with Coloured Eggs Eggs, dyed a bright cerise, are a special feature of all these mulids, and those who sold them attracted a considerable number of customers. These coloured eggs are used for two games, which are played as follows. In one of them two boys or men take part, each grasping an egg in his hand. One of them knocks his egg against that of his opponent, and the man whose egg is not cracked is regarded as the winner and takes the cracked egg of his adversary. In the other game several eggs are arranged in a row on the ground, and a number of men sit at a certain distance away from them. Each in turn rolls an egg towards the row of eggs facing him, and the man who first succeeds in cracking one of them wins the lot. These games, which were played by large numbers of people at all the mulids that I witnessed, are an interesting study for the anthropologist, coloured eggs being used for games, in many cases similar to these, in various parts of Europe, especially in the Balkan States.
