| 17 Saad el Sikeini, pastel by Eric Kennington. 'Said el Sikeini is a dour puritan, who saw his men dragging chests of gold and rich merchandise from the train which he had blown up by a mine. He left them plundering while he carefully rolled up and carried away the electrical gear with which he had fired this mine, and with which he meant to blow up the next.' |
Eric Kennington, pastel.
