Aqaba.
:52:51
Aqaba.
:52:53
From the land.
:52:56
You are mad.
:52:58
To come to Aqaba by land we should
have to cross the Nef ud Desert.
:53:02
That's right.
:53:04
The Nef ud cannot be crossed.
:53:06
I'll cross it if you will.
:53:08
You? It takes more than a compass,
Englishman.
:53:12
The Nef ud is the worst place
God created.
:53:15
I can't answer for the place.
Only for myself.
:53:19
Fifty men?
:53:21
Fifty? Against Aqaba?
:53:24
If 50 men came out of the Nef ud...
:53:26
...they would be 50 men
other men might join.
:53:30
The Howeitat are there, I hear.
:53:33
The Howeitat are brigands.
They'll sell themselves to anyone.
:53:36
-Good fighters, though.
-Good--
:53:39
Yes. There are guns at Aqaba.
:53:42
They face the sea, Sherif Ali,
and cannot be turned around.
:53:46
From the landward side,
there are no guns at Aqaba.
:53:50
With good reason. It cannot be
approached from the landward side.
:53:55
Certainly the Turks don't dream of it.
