Mecca, at the season of the annual
visitation of Mohammedan pilgrims, Is J
thus described In Everybody's In "With
the Pilgrims to Mecca," translated
from tho narrative of Ihu Jubtiyr All
of Bandar Adas:
"Like a gigantic catafalque, somber,
shrouded In mystery, the Knulm rises
out of the seething sea of white garbed
humanity that crowds the great sacred
square of Mecca. Its door Is covered
with plntcs of solid silver studded Avlth
silver nails. From the exterior of tho
roof, above a stone marking the sep
ulchcr of Ishmael, which lies at the
base of the northern wall, there pro
jects n horizontal, semicircular rain
Bpout live yards long, twenty-four Inch
es wide, made of miifislve gold. With
in the roof Is supported by three col
umns of nloe wood; the walls are hung
with red velvet alternating with white
squares in which nro written In Arabic
tho words, 'Allah-Jal-Jelalah' ('Praise
to God, the Almighty'). The building Is
packed with pilgrims, praying, weep
ing, beside themselves In an ecstasy
of pasBlouate devotion. Mingled with
their voices there rises from outside the
chant of the Talblh, the song of the
winding sheet, which every pilgrim
must sing on entering Mecca, on don
ning the sacred Ihram, on entering the
Haram, and on starting for Minn, tho
valley of desire, nnd Arafat, the moun
tain of compassion."
