A golden dolphin, which had been suspended from a beam, and on which the eye of every charioteer was fixed, dropped to the ground, a blast on the 'salpinx', or war-trumpet, was sounded, and forty-eight horses flew forth as though thrown forward by one impulsion. The strength of four fine horses whirled each light, two-wheeled chariot over the hard causeway as though it were a toy.
A few weeks after this interview the Hellenike Salpinx, a leading journal of Athens, contained an article of which the following is a translation: "Marrákesh, October 20. "The success of our Embassy to Morocco is already assured, and that in a remarkable degree.

One was of course a journalist, to supply the special correspondence of the Acropolis and the Hellenike Salpinx. These would afterwards be worked up into a handy illustrated volume of experiences and impressions calculated to further deceive the public with regard to Morocco and the Moors, and to secure for the Minister his patron, the longed-for promotion to a European Court.
