"No, suh, I don' s'pose you could ha'dly call it a fight. One er dem dagoes off'n a Souf American boat gimme some er his jaw, an' I give 'im a back answer, an' here I is wid a broken arm. He got holt er a belayin'-pin befo' I could hit 'im." "What became of the other man?" demanded Miller suspiciously.
My Aheer friend pretended his sword was worth two slaves in Soudan; this is an exaggeration. Abdullah, the Souf Arab, called. His brothers have brought thirty slaves from Soudan, which are destined for the market of Constantina. One of the Governor's sons goes to Soudan with the return of the caravan, a lad not more than ten years of age; he is to bring back merchandize as a regular trader.
The dates of Warklah and Souf are also very sweet. One of the Touatee asked me, if I would go to Timbuctoo. I replied, "I'm afraid." "You are right," he said, "for there's no Sultan there, everybody does as he likes, all men are equal."
With the zeal of her melon-loving race, Janey's eyes glistened, as she received the treasure. "Dat's a gay one, Mars' Charlie!" she exclaimed, as she snapped her fingers against its green rind, and listened delightedly to the clear, crisp sound. "Janey'll cut it right up for you, befo' she sets de table or anything. You all likes melons so well, you ought to see 'em we has down Souf.
"Where'd you learn how to fish?" the stranger asked, "Down South? Didn't know they had any there." "Nebbah was down Souf," was the somewhat surly reply. "Father run away, did he?" "He nebber was down dar, nudder." "Nor his father?" "'Tain't no business ob yourn," said Dick, "but we's allers lived right heah, on dis bay." "Guess not," said the white boy knowingly.
Night brought but little respite, and even Old Mammy complained of the heat. "Dis is de first time I'se been wa'm since comin' to dis place," she announced. "It reminds me of my ol' home in de Souf, it sa'tinly does." At length a vivid flash of lightning streaked the air, followed immediately by a roll of thunder off to the west.
And all the time he would be saying: "Way down Souf de sun am shinin' Yas, Sah, dat am so! Fo' dat lan' mah heart am pinin' Yas, Sah, dat am so! "De mocking-bird he sings all day, De alligators am at play, De flowers dey am bloomin' fair, And mah heart aches to be down there Yas, Sah, dat am so!" Now Unc' Billy had prepared for the winter by getting just as fat as he knew how.
When away from the whites, and among his own class, Pete could often be heard in the following strains: "A storm am brewin' in de Souf, A storm am brewin' now.
In Tunis they are scattered throughout the Jereed; in Algeria they are established at the oases of Souf and Mezab; in Morocco we find them at Sous and Wadnoun; and in Tripoli they are located in nearly every town of the coast, whilst a few visit The Mountains. But, to the credit of the Jews and their mercantile genius, it is not their fault.
It appears, however, two or three of the small districts have really consented to pay a tribute to the French, an act of decided usurpation on the part of France, as the Souf oases "formerly did acknowledge" the sovereignty of Tunis.
