What is there extraordinary in a Christian's death? My old antagonist Malem Chadily replied, 'No. God has preserved him, let us not forsake him! Maramy returned to the tree, and said, 'His heart told him what to do. He awoke me, assisted me to mount, and we moved on as before." In this fatal conflict forty-five of the Arabs, besides their chief, fell.
Every eye was instantly averted; the sun of Major Denham's favour was set, and he was never again allowed to enter the palace. The bigotry of this court seems to have surpassed even the usual bitterness of the African tribes, and our traveller had to undergo a regular persecution, carried on especially by Malem Chadily, the leading fighi of the court.
Malem Chadily, however, so bitter as a theological opponent, showed now the influence of a milder spirit, and said, "No, God has preserved him; let us not abandon him;" and Maramy declared, his heart told him what to do.
By the head of the Prophet! believers enough have breathed their last to-day! What is there extraordinary in a Christian's death?" His old antagonist, Malem Chadily, replied: "No; God has preserved him, let us not forsake him." Maraymy returned to the tree, awoke the major, and, again mounting, they moved on as before, though with less speed.
Major Denham had several interviews with this intelligent but bigoted sultan, when he was greatly annoyed by the chief doctor of the court, or fighi, Malem Chadily, who, because he was a Christian, endeavoured to prejudice the mind of the sultan against him; indeed, the bigotry of this court far surpassed that usually found among black tribes who have become Mahommedans.
The major had been drawing with a lead pencil, when he was carried into the presence of the sultan. Malem Chadily on this occasion pretended to treat him with great complaisance. The courtiers were much astonished at seeing the effect produced by the pencils, and the ease with which their traces were effaced by india-rubber.
