The people say⟳ that these dates put⟳ in a tightly closed vessel of water a day or two become⟳ as good as fresh dates and that the water makes a very pleasant drink⟳. Governor Jackson informs me that this date⟳ is much sought as a food supply⟳ by pilgrims journeying to Mecca, on account of its excellent carrying and keeping qualities."”
