And on Saturday, the thirteenth of the month, we heard that all or most of the boats headed out, and that some of them had no news of it.

When it was at the end of Sunday night, the second of its date, the chaste Abd Allah Ibn Umar al-Shaibi arrived from Yemen.

And he was traveling in boats and got lost in Aden, so he returned in a commotion to Hali, then he descended by land and arrived in Makkah, and he was told that four entered Aden, and four entered Al-Shajarah (5) and two of the Kanbaites, whose news was not known. Did they enter or enter some of the Banadir?

And that Salih, the brother of the isolated Hanafi, was in his boat and headed in a tumult to Makdishu (6) with some Makadshah (=people of Mogadishu).

(The mamluk (1) Sultan is arriving in Mecca and hasty preparations are made to provide drinking water in the city)

And Omar Shaheen Al-Othmani worked in some places in Bir Khum and Ain Hanin, (=water places close to Mecca) and he spent the amount of five hundred shekels (3) until a little water reached the well, he spotted the Khum well (5) and ran it to the large pool in al-Mu'alla (=In Mecca). When the time was short and the arrival of the pilgrim was near, Shaheen used the laborers of Zaila and Maqadisha (=Mogadishu) on the waterwheel that is in the path of the Sultan at the entrance of Bab al-Mualla, day and night. And he ran it to the pond. Now the water of the Khum well (4) spring and the water of the water-wheel are poured into the large pool. And the pilgrim was satisfied with it.
