"I grant it; but Mazagan far exceeded his instructions, as he did at Zante." "How much money did the Pacha offer Mazagan to obtain the persons mentioned?" "Twenty thousand dollars, or a hundred thousand francs; but that is a bagatelle to him. The Pacha is another man now," added the ex-detective impressively. "How long has he been another man?" asked Captain Ringgold with something like a sneer.
Louis's million and a half have been stretched to hundreds of millions, and the Guardian-Mother has been regarded as a floating mine of wealth. I suspect that Mazagan spread such stories in Egypt, and they have travelled to this port." "What have these stories to do with a voyage to Bombay by the Maud?" asked Scott, with something like a laugh; for he could see no connection. "Mr.
It was a fact which came out afterwards, that every one of them aimed at Mazagan, not only because he was the most prominent mark as he stood in the standing-room, but he was regarded as the biggest villain of the assailants, and they could shoot him with less compunction than the Moors in his train.
A watch was kept on board of both vessels; and when they started on the remainder of the trip through the canal in the morning, nothing had been seen or heard of Mazagan.

"We are rather too near her if she makes much of a stir-about when she goes down." "Help! Help! Save me! Save me!" came in rather feeble tones from the wreck of the Fatimé. At the same time the form of a man was seen staggering to the end of the bridge. "That's Captain Mazagan!" shouted Felix from the forecastle. "Mazagan!" exclaimed Louis.
The commander sincerely hoped there would never be an occasion to make use of either the old or the new guns, for he was eminently a man of peace; but he was prepared to defend his ship, either from pirates, belligerent natives, or Captain Mazagan when he had recovered from his wound.
"But I do not choose to wait a year or two for a settlement," protested the visitor. "You need not wait five minutes," added Captain Ringgold. The Moor began to go over his story again, but it was interrupted by the entrance of General Noury. Mazagan looked at him, and seemed to be unable to believe the evidence of his own eyes. The commander stated the case to him.
