On returning to the encampment, I found that the Kaïd, or commander of the troops of the Shaty district, had arrived with some Arab cavaliers: he has in all thirty horsemen. Our visitors offered to "play powder" in order to do us honour; but were compelled to beg us to supply the ammunition. It was a very animating scene, after the dreary journey over the Fezzanee deserts.
We had at least a hundred tongue-skirmishes between our people and the people of Mizdah between our chaouch and the other chaouch between our chaouch and the sheikh of the country between Yusuf and the Fezzanee between every individual black and every other individual black Between our chaouch particularly and all the people of Mizdah: in short, there were as many rows as it were possible for a logician to find relations betwixt man and man.
I remarked the number of soldiers that were black, and the Bim Bashaw observed that he hoped the time would come when there would not be a white private left in Mourzuk. The Turks manage to do with twenty or thirty of their own people, mostly officers, in this garrison; but, by one method or another, get as many Fezzanee recruits as they want.
