In the Alchemist Santiago was with the chrystal merchant. He was probably smoking out with the englishman out of his hookah but he was passing along the dessert in the caravan and he seen some thing on his way. He is in the caravan and the Englishman finds out the word of ALAH, and Santiago finds ou the special meaning of the Caravan.
