Reached Timhanah at 3 P.M. I was grievously attacked with the tooth and ear-ache, produced by the strong cold wind which had been blowing nearly all day. Got some rum and doctored myself, and by sunset I was enabled to read a little of my Greek Testament. I did not go into the town of Timhanah, being so disgusted with the people of Sebhah.
As this continues to spread amongst the oases, I shall soon be murdered by the helping imagination of the people, at any rate, before I arrive at Tripoli. A gardener tells me, many palms grow and bear fruit without being watered, or having any water running under them. The Sebhah district embraces four villages besides its town, viz., Ghortah, Hajrah, Marwees, and Hafat.
Reflections on the Slave Trade; Christian Republicans, and the Scottish Free Kirk. Well of Mukni. El-Bab. She-Camels with Foals. How American Consuls justify Slavery. Arrival at Sebhah, and description of the People. Cruelty of a Moorish Boy to the young Female Slaves. Prohibited Food in matters of Religion. The Taste of a Locust. Anecdotes related by the Bashaw of Mourzuk and Mr. Gagliuffi.
A little vanity there may have been in this, for however badly off we are ourselves, we are not displeased to see some people still worse off, and are gratified in laying them under some miserable obligation. Left Sebhah about 8 A.M., and after three hours' ride came in view of a forest of date-palms.
