"I ordered the government flag to be hoisted in Suleiman's camp, and the vakeel, Suleiman, called upon all those who were willing to enlist in the service of the Khedive to assemble beneath the ensign. Sixty-one men registered their names. "The only difficulty is the rate of wages.
Suleiman's horse gave in we had been for about twenty minutes at a killing pace. Tetel, although not a fast horse, was good for a distance, and he now proved his power of endurance, as I was riding at least two stone heavier than any of the party. Only four of the seven remained; and we swept down the incline, Taher Sherif still leading, and Abou Do the last!
"I think you are wrong. We English are such blunt people. Why, our Major he was my father's schoolfellow he's a splendid old chap." "Yes; but he doesn't trust me," said the young Malay. "Oh, you wait." "I like your doctor." "Well, you must like Sir Charles Dallas." "What! Suleiman's Resident? I don't know him. Your English Queen I mean Her Majesty " "Yes, I know," said Archie, laughing.
And then, as the band marched by, Rajah Suleiman's group collected in front of the great clump of trees left standing when a portion of the jungle had been cleared, and the huge elephants, now gorgeous with trappings, and each bearing its showy howdah, in which were seated the Rajah himself and his principal chiefs, responded to a final blast of the highly polished brass instruments and the thunderous roll of the drums by a simultaneous uneasy trumpeting of their own, with which were mingled the cries of the mahouts, who had to ply their sharp-pointed goads to keep their charges in subjection.
No, thank you; I don't take wine," he added quickly, as one of the officers' servants was filling glasses. "Won't you have a glass of hock?" "No," was the quiet reply. "And I don't want to know the French count. I don't like him." "Why?" "Because he is Suleiman's friend." "That's saying you don't like Suleiman." "No. But I don't like him, and he hates me." "Why?" "Because he likes my country."
Suleiman's campaign was planned on the idea of a triple attack on the heart of Montenegro, by himself from Krstaz, Ali Saib from Spuz, and Mehemet Ali, my old friend in Crete, from Kolashin via the upper Moratsha, the three armies to meet at Danilograd.
"Let them see something of our strength, Dallas. They certainly are getting more impudent and independent. Now, there's the question of our rations and supplies. The simple country-people are all right, and are glad to bring in all we want, and quite content with what we pay. But this Suleiman's people interfere with them and frighten them; and it's a bad sign, Dallas.
The first, composed of the black soldiers, little better than slaves, he released on the condition that they left at once and promised to settle down to a peaceful life. This they agreed to joyfully. Having got rid of these, the larger number of Suleiman's band, he seized the smaller body of slave-dealers 157 in number and having chained them, sent them under a guard as prisoners to his own camp.
The slave dealer, taken by surprise, surrendered, and was shot next day, and it would have been well for the Soudan if Suleiman's father Zebehr had paid the same penalty for his rebellion against the khedive. It was in the year 1879 that the khedive Ismail was deposed at Cairo, and Tewfik appointed in his place.
Hussain, who was acquainted with the country, volunteered for this duty, and he and his companion came in at midnight with the depressing report that Alfieri and his free-booters were not to be found on the main track to Suleiman's Well. By this time, not only Fenshawe and Irene, but Stump and Abdur Kad'r, when called into counsel, shared Dick's foreboding.
