Unwilling, however, to risk the safety of the gunboat, where nothing was to be expected beyond what we had seen at El-'Akabah, I resolved, after waiting half an hour, not to land. The Sambuk received a cargo of quarrymen and sacks, in order to ship at Makna the "argentiferous galena" and other rocks left by Lieutenant Yusuf and M. Philipin upon the shore; and, that done, she was directed to rejoin us at Tiran Island. As long as the norther coursed high, she beat us hollow; in the afternoon, however, when the gale, as usual, abated, she fell off, perhaps purposely, not wishing to pass a night in the open. By sunset her white sail had clean disappeared, having slipped into some snug cove.

The principle of inclusion in this English literature study is the traditional one which assumes that criticism is only safe when it deals with authors who are dead. In proportion as we approach the living or, worse, speak of those still on earth, the proper perspective is lost and the dangers of contemporary judgment incurred. The light-minded might add, that the dead cannot strike back; to pass judgment upon them is not only more critical but safer.

In the beginning, the Lord of Beings created men and women and laid down the rules of existence in terms of Dharma, or religious duty, Artha, or wealth, and Kama, or pleasure. The commandments on Dharma were compiled by Manu, on Artha by Brihaspati, and on Kama by Nandi, Shiva's follower. Humans have a life span of one hundred years and should practice Dharma, Artha, and Kama at different times in their lives in a way to harmonize these goals and not to create conflict among them. A man lives the life of a religious student until he finishes his education. At that time Dharma should be learned from scripture. Artha or wealth should be learned from the king's officers and from merchants. Kama is the enjoyment of the five senses, assisted by the mind and soul, and should be learned by the Kama Sutra, the practice of love enjoyed by citizens.
