It was not difficult to provide for the Franciscans. They, honest men, understood nothing save that the Tartar king had not the love of holy things for which they had hoped.
There can be little doubt that the Kofar-al-Turak, a people belonging to the Tartar stock, are identical with the so-called subjects of Prester John, of whom so much was heard in the Middle Ages. They defeated Sinjar in the year 1141; this was, however, more than fifteen years prior to Benjamin's visit.
After the death of their husbands, the Tartar widows seldom marry, unless when a man chooses to wed his brother's wife or his stepmother. They make no difference between the son of a wife or of a concubine, of which the following is a memorable example.
He was a New York boy, not much used to riding, and the management of such a beast as this one did not come easy.

Gee Christopher, what a tartar! Whoa, I say!
The good Germans in Sarepta received the Tartars with great joy. One gray-headed man of eighty-three came to meet them, leaning upon his staff. He said he had been praying that he might see a Christian Tartar before he died. He heard these Tartars sing hymns to the praise of Jesus, and he felt his prayers were answered.

Aside from a slight excitement caused when Walter hooked a big fish, and was nearly taken overboard by it being in fact pulled back just in time by Bess, little of moment occurred on the trip to Lonely Island. Toward evening, after a day's hard pushing of the Tartar, Slim Jim, who had taken his position in the bows, called out: "There she lies, boss!" "Lonely Island?" asked Jack. "That's her."
Thus we find that not only Crabs-eyes, that are of themselves White, and Pearls that are almost so, but Coral and Minium that are Red, being dissolv'd in Spirit of Vinegar, may be uniformly Præcipitated by Oyl of Tartar into White Powders.
'Another good method is to apply arsenical soap, which may be made as follows: powdered arsenic, two pounds; camphor, five ounces; white soap, sliced thin, two pounds; salt of tartar, twelve drams; chalk, or powdered fine lime, four ounces; add a small quantity of water first to the soap, put over a gentle fire, and keep stirring.
Susan pretended to start to undress. Freddie and Jim suddenly seized her. She struggled, half laughing; the whiskey was sending into her brain dizzying clouds. She struggled more fiercely. But it was in vain. "Gee, you have got a prize, Freddie!" exclaimed Jim at last, angry. "A regular tartar!" "A damn handsome one," retorted Freddie. "She's even got feet."
