There are saint-houses in the city where women are allowed to pray, but only upon one night in the whole year in El-Jama-el-Kebeer a field-day among the wives and concubines, who flit like white moths through the darkness in flocks to worship, carrying red-and-blue lanterns. At last we reached the house of the Moor upon whom Mr. Bewicke intended us to call a specimen of the best Moorish houses.
All his hair and his armour shone with a red-and-blue flame; and the light of him struck the vaulting and the floor like the rays of a torch as it burns. Over his head a dark tunnel, bored in the solid rock, reached up a hollow throat seawards.
On the sheet of paper inside was another valorous red-and-blue Zouave defending the flag with drawn sword. On it was written: "Bad Ax, Wisconsin, "Janooary the 14th, 1863.
