Our people have dug a well, which the Tanelkums promise to call "Bir Engleez," the English Well. Good water was found easily, near the surface at this station. 4th. We started late, and made only a short day; but herbage for the camels is only found hereabouts. Our course was, as usual, south-west over an undulating plateau, with an horizon now near, now distant.
In this strain the Taleb continued lecturing me, until he was interrupted by a Berber of Rif. The Rifian. "Christian, Engleez, come to our mountains. I will conduct you to the Emir, on whom is the blessing of God. Come to the Emir, come." Traveller. "No, I've nothing to do with war." The Rifian. "Ah! ah! ah! I know you are a necromancer. Cannot you tell me where money is buried?
"Engleez." "That is good. Yes, we are very glad. We thought you might be a Spaniard, or a Frenchman. Now we'll tell you all; we don't fear. God will give us this country again, when Seedna Aïsa comes to deliver us from these curse-smitten dogs of Spaniards." Traveller. "Well, never mind the Spaniards. Have you seen anything you like here?" The Moors.
The Engleez, once the cherished friends of the Moors, are looked upon more or less as the abettors of French aggressions in North Africa, if not as the sharers with them of the spoil.
In fact, the monopolist fixes the price, and everybody who brings leeches to Tangier must accept it. This case of leeches may be applied to nearly all the monopolies of the country. Can anything be more ruinous to commerce? All the Moors of Tangier, immediately on entering into conversation with me, inquire if I am Engleez? Even Moorish children ask this question: it appears to be a charm to them.
