1805 December, Julius Griffiths, “A Journey across the Desert”, in The Monthly Mirror, page 362:The thermometer hanging round my neck, was up to 116; and the little remaining water, which was in a leathern bottle, suspended at the corner of the mohaffah, had become so thick, resembling the residuum of an ink-stand, that, parched and thirsty as I felt, I could not relieve my distress, by any attempt to swallow it.
1853, Maria Hack, Winter Evenings..., page 12:Mr. H. took his favourite horse with him; and he had a machine, called a mohaffah, fitted up for common use. This machine was composed of two boxes, partly filled with mattresses, on which the traveller might sit; these boxes were slung on each side of a camel. Little posts were fixed in the outside corners, with a canvass covering thrown over them, which shaded the travellers from the extreme heat of the sun.
