Shortly after this he became a Roman Catholic was ordained a priest and joined the order of the Jesuits Society of Jesus and served as a member of the order in India Rome and in Syria where he acquired a colloquial command of Arabic. He convinced his superiors to support a mission to the interior of Arabia which at that time was terra incognita to the rest of the world. He also gained the support of the French emperor Napoleon III representing to him that better knowledge of Arabia would benefit French imperialistic schemes in Africa and the Middle East. Palgrave then returned to Syria where he assumed the identity of a travelling Syrian physician. Stocking his bags with medicines and small trade goods and accompanied by one servant he set off for Najd in north-central Arabia. He travelled as a Christian. The service he would do for the Society of Jesus and the French empire would be as a spy not a missionary. Palgrave became friendly with Faisal bin Turki bin Abdullah Al Saud while in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Faisal's son Abdul Rahman bin Faisal asked Palgrave to get him strychnine. Palgrave believed that Abdul wanted to poison his father. Palgrave was accused of espionage and was almost executed for his Christian beliefs. <br/> <br/> Manuscript ALS., [ca. 1875] unknown
