The defection of Narr' Havas was certain, and both sieges were beginning again. The army under Autaritus now extended from Tunis to Rhades. From the top of the Acropolis long columns of smoke might be seen in the country ascending to the sky; they were the mansions of the rich, which were on fire. One man alone could have saved the Republic.
Among the French observers speaking of pregnancy remaining unrecognized by the mother until the period of accouchement, Lozes and Rhades record peculiar cases; and Mouronval relates an instance in which a woman who had borne three children completely ignored the presence of pregnancy until the pains of labor were felt. Fleishman and Munzenthaler also record examples of unconscious pregnancy.
Extraordinary to say, none of them touched him. Hamilcar pitched his camp on the south side; Narr' Havas, to his right, occupied the plain of Rhades, and Hanno the shore of the lake; and the three generals were to maintain their respective positions, so as all to attack the walls simultaneously. But Hamilcar wished first to show the Mercenaries that he would punish them like slaves.
Its heavy leaves were half open; they passed through, and it closed behind them. At first they followed the foot of the ramparts for a time, and at the height of the cisterns they took their way along the Taenia, a narrow strip of yellow earth separating the gulf from the lake and extending as far as Rhades. No one was to be seen around Carthage, whether on the sea or in the country.
They wheeled in the air as they flew with loud hoarse cries, and formed a huge cloud rolling continually upon itself. It was seen from Clypea, Rhades, and the promontory of Hermaeum.
Hamilcar accepted the challenge. The encounter should take place the following day at sunrise, in the plain of Rhades. The Mercenaries wished to know whether he had said anything more, and the Libyan added: "As I remained in his presence, he asked me what I was waiting for. 'To be killed! I replied. Then he rejoined: 'No! begone! that will be to-morrow with the rest."
