 The dread Simoom - Armel Coussine



Reading of that hot desert wind in Patrick O'Brian's Treason's Harbour, had a vivid memory of experiencing the thing, in the Red Sea and Suez canal, back in the forties.

The air was filled with dust that gritted between one's teeth. But my real memory is of grains of sand, few and far between, hitting my face and stinging my cheeks.

A long time ago, but a real memory. God it was hot. I haven't stopped sweating since.
