Awakened very early before
daylight and heard the Mohammedans’ calling to
prayer. They are holding a
thirty day fast and call to
prayer five (5) times a day
beginning at 3 AM.
They are supposed to go to the
mosque, nearest their home
for these prayers and are
supposed to fast all day
until 6 PM when they can
eat all they wish.
Arose at 6:15 AM as we are to
leave on the 8 A.M. train.
Had breakfast at 7 and left
the hotel at 7:30.
