"You will have no further trouble with your troublesome customer," said Captain Sharp, with a very agreeable smile. "How do you know?" "As the boys say, because I know; I do not guess at it." "You do not understand the matter." "I know more about it than you do." "Do you know Ali-Noury Pacha?" "I do; intimately."
Here Ali-Noury Pacha, one of the richest and most influential magnates of the country, paid a visit to the ship. Unfortunately he saw the beautiful Blanche Woolridge, and was more attentive to her than pleased her parents. They were alarmed, for of course the Pacha was a Mohammedan.
The party had been there only long enough to see the sights, before the high official, Ali-Noury Pacha, in his steam-yacht come into the harbor of Funchal. The commander immediately beat another retreat; but the Fatimé, as the Moroccan steamer was called, followed her to Gibraltar.
Ali-Noury was fined by the court for the assault, and, thirsting for revenge, he had followed the Guardian-Mother to Constantinople, and through the Archipelago, seeking the vengeance his evil nature demanded. He employed a man named Mazagan to capture Miss Blanche or Louis, or both of them.
It was a long story which Captain Penn Sharp told of his relations with Ali-Noury Pacha; and his visitor was so incredulous at first that he appeared to have solemnly resolved not to accept anything as the truth.
This stimulant revived him, and then he wanted to talk; but Pitts would not permit him to do so. He remained with him, while Louis and Felix went forward to report to the captain, and Don went to the engine-room to tell Felipe the news. Felipe Garcias, the first engineer of the Maud, had filled the same position on board of her when she was owned and used by Ali-Noury Pacha.
"General N-e-w-r-y." "N-o-u-r-y is the way he spells it," interposed the ex-detective. "Sit down, Captain. He is a general of the highest rank in the army of Morocco, and he prefers to cruise under this title." "If this is the steamer of Ali-Noury Pacha, it is time for me to leave."
He had been assured that Ali-Noury Pacha was as vindictive as ever, and that he had long before ordered a new steamer to be built for him. Did the white steam-yacht belong to him? Mazagan, evidently for the want of care, had irritated his wound, and gone to the hospital at Suez.
