If this report be correct, it evidently refers to the harmless lefâah mentioned by the Touarick. At the ruins of Lebida, on the coast of Tripoli, an unusual number of large snakes were seen this year , mounting upon and twining round the broken shafts of pillars still standing, as if at the command of some invisible jinn; but they were all perfectly harmless.
On the fourth day after his departure, he reached Lebida, on the sea coast, the Leptis Magna of the Romans. He found, on his arrival at Mescerata, that he should not be able to procure the number of camels necessary to convey his goods to Fezzan; and was obliged to abandon his enterprize.
Population and Condition of the Jews in Misratah and Tripoli. Regini sighs for the honour of hoisting the Union Jack. Village of Zeiten. Leghma; and the tapping of the Date-Palm. Corn Fields and Grain Culture in North Africa. Manipulation. Sahel or Salhin; its splendid Gardens. The Eastern Terminus groups of Mount Atlas. Ruins of Lebida; and other Ancient Ruins. Monosyllabic Old Moor.
They are the sweetest, prettiest, loveliest little things which I have seen in all my nine months' tour. Oh, that these valleys were full of them! What nonsense to believe Cicerones in these parts.
