The engineer translated the warning for the benefit of those who were back to the Maud, and perhaps did not see the weapons that were pointed at the boat. But Mazagan could see the six rifles, including the one in the hands of the captain; and before Don could finish his Arabic sentence, he had given the order to cease rowing.
"And that is what you say to the representative of the same infernal majesty in Khrysoko Bay," interposed Louis, rather pleased with the illustration, especially in its application to Captain Mazagan. "Precisely so; it is the pirate's move, and I shall not do a thing till he makes it," added Captain Scott. "What Mazagan will do, or how he will do it, I have no more idea than you have, Louis.
He had observed the stranger distinctly as he went up the steps, but he could not identify him as a person he had ever seen before. Of course it came into his head at once that the tall Arab was Captain Mazagan, and he said as much to Scott. "We left him at the hotel at Port Said; how could he be here?" asked the captain of the Maud.
It was simply ridiculous on the face of it, with no imaginable foundation for the preposterous claim advanced. Mazagan went on board of his steamer, and a few minutes later a cloud of black smoke began to pour out of her smokestack. Captain Scott had already ordered Felipe to put his furnaces in order for quick time.
"But with two feet more water, the Fatimé can go at least up to the verge of the ledge, and that plan would not work anyhow." "Another gun!" cried Felix, as he caught the flash. The enemy was a little nearer than before, but the shot fell hardly less than half a mile from the Maud. Mazagan had "swung to" in order to fire this shot, but resumed his course at once.
At any time the frontier forays in which the tribes on both sides indulge may be fomented or exaggerated, as in the case of Tunis, to afford a like excuse for a similar occupation, which beyond a doubt would be a good thing for Morocco. Fez captured, and the seaports kept in awe or bombarded by the navy, Mequinez would fall, and an army landed in Mazagan would seize Marrákesh.
"Not if it can be avoided; but I do not intend to let Mazagan take any one of my people out of the Maud; and all hands will shoot before anything of that kind can happen," replied Scott very mildly, and with no excitement in his manner; for he had studied the bearing of his model, and tried to imitate him. "Do you expect Mazagan will resort to violence, Captain Scott?"
I don't know any better than the rest of the fellows what is coming out of this affair; but it is plain enough now that Mazagan intends to do something." "No doubt of that; but it does not follow that he intends to attack us. He knows very well that such would be piracy," suggested Louis. "Piracy!
"If you mean to murder us all, I cannot help myself just now," howled Mazagan, furiously mad at the disappointment which had suddenly overtaken him; and he seemed like an angry child who had been denied a piece of candy, and resented it with tears and yells. "All you have to do is to pull back to your ship, and we shall not take the trouble to follow you," answered Scott.
The work up to December, 1917, comprises: A channel 100 metres long and three metres deep, cut through the bar of the Sebou. Jetties built on each side of the channel. Quay 100 metres long. Building of sheds, depots, warehouses, steam-cranes, etc. At the ports of Fedalah, Mazagan, Safi, Mogador and Agadir similar plans are in course of execution.
