Instead of continuing the dialogue, Barbassou stared at him for a space ere he burst into a peal of such hilarity that Sidi Tart'ri sat back dumbfounded on his melons. "What a stunning turban, my poor Monsieur Tartarin! Is it true, what they say of your having turned Turk? How is little Baya? Is she still singing 'Marco la Bella'?" "Marco la Bella!" repeated the indignant Tartarin.
Besides the southern Archipelago of Chiloé, there are a few islands of no great importance on the coast of Chili, not worth notice. The two islands likewise of Juan Fernandez are considered as dependencies on Chili. The larger of these, called Isola de Tierra, is at present inhabited by a few Spaniards, who have a small fort at La Baya or Cumberland harbour.
Stretched out on a divan in front of him, Baya would drone him monotonous tunes with a guitar in her fist; or else, to distract her lord and master, favour him with the Bee Dance, holding a hand-glass up, in which she reflected her white teeth and the faces she made.
On the morrow early after this evening at the Platanes, Prince Gregory was in the Tarasconian's bedroom. "Quick! Dress yourself quickly! Your Moorish beauty is found, Her name is Baya. She's scarce twenty as pretty as a love, and already a widow." "A widow! What a slice of luck!" joyfully exclaimed Tartarin, who dreaded Oriental husbands. "Ay, but woefully closely guarded by her brother."
The map given here is by Mazza, an Italian geographer of distinction; it is the earliest one that I have been able to procure, the earliest known to exist, the date being between 1583 and 1589. I have marked on it the probable track of the ships; the first bay where they anchored, and which was called Baya de la Estrella, is marked by No. 1.
After the minute's wavering which self-respect commanded, the Tarasconian chose his course manfully. Down he sat, and they touched glasses. Baya, gliding down at that chink, sang the finale of "Marco la Bella," and the jollification was prolonged deep into the night.
Previous to that I attended the mill for half a day, and then returned home at 3 in the afternoon, when I saw five persons in the house, viz.: the first accused Tookaram, who is my paramour, my mother, the second accused Baya, the accused Gopal, and two guests named Ramji Daji and Annaji Gungaram.
After this the writer goes on to state that Beya had also intrigued against the city of Gezer, "the handmaid of the king my lord who created me." The rebel then carried off a quantity of plunder, and it became necessary to ransom his prisoners for a hundred pieces of silver, while those of his confederate were ransomed for thirty pieces of silver. The misdeeds of Beya or Bâya did not end here.
Baya gazed on him for a moment without making any answer; but then, dropping her pipe-stem, she threw her head back, hid it in her hands, and they could only see her white neck rippling with a wild laugh like a bag full of pearls. XI. Sidi Tart'ri Ben Tart'ri.
"I'll have you to know, captain, that the person you mention is an honourable Moorish lady, and one who does not know a word of French." "Baya does not know French! What lunatic asylum do you hail from, then?" The good captain broke into still heartier laughter; but, seeing the chops of poor Sidi Tart'ri fall he changed his course. "Howsoever, may happen it is not the same lass.
