May Shitan seize him. Let us go to the cadi and complain. The cadi listened to their story, for they accused me of witchcraft, saying that no five men could lift the skin when it was full. He sent one of his beeldars to summon me before him. I had just filled my skin at the river, when the officer came from this distributor of bastinadoes. I followed him to the court, laden as I was.
'O cadi, said I, 'and ye, mollahs, whose beards drop wisdom, let your slave offer, at the footstool of justice, the precious proofs of innocence. 'Produce them quickly, then, thou wedded to Shitan and Jehanum, replied the cadi. Whereupon I loosened the string which attached the mouth, and allowed all the water to run out of the skin.
Thus did I revenge my poor master, and relieved myself from any further molestation on the part of the aga. "What!" cried the pacha, in a rage, "you drowned a true believer an aga of janissaries! Thou dog of a kafir thou son of Shitan and dare avow it! Call in the executioner." "Mercy! your sublime highness, mercy!" cried the Greek "Have I not your promise by the sword of the Prophet?
"What sayeth the son of Shitan?" demanded the pacha, impatiently. "The unbeliever declareth that his tongue is glued to his mouth from the terror of your highness's presence. He fainteth after water to restore him, and enable him to speak." "Let him be fed," rejoined the pacha. But Mustapha had heard enough to know that the sailor would not be content with the pure element.
"Have we not the slave who offered to lay his story at your sublime feet, on the same evening that we met those sons of Shitan Ali and Hussan, who received the punishment merited by their enormous crimes?
"In a few seconds it will prove to be but a piece of palm wood, and I shall lose my head among the jeers of the people. However, my trust is in God; and to Shitan with all Moussul merchants." He took, however, his sheath and sham sword from his belt, and raised it in the scabbard over his shoulder. The caliph who watched him narrowly, was highly diverted with this manoeuvre.
He hath been caught like a wild beast; it is a Frank Galiongi, who hath travelled as far as that son of Shitan, Huckaback; he was found in the streets, overpowered by the forbidden juice, after having beaten many of your highness's subjects, and the cadi would have administered the bamboo, but he was as a lion, and he scattered the slaves as chaff, until he fell, and could not rise again.
"Yes, they would, I acknowledge; but still it must be done." "It shall not be done," replied the lady: "Has my lord been visited by heaven? or is he possessed by the Shitan?" And the lady burst into tears of rage and vexation as she quitted the apartment. "There's obstinacy for you women are nothing but opposition.
I recovered myself, and looking at it, found it to be alive, and, in the excess of my alarm, I imagined it to be Shitan himself; but if not the devil himself, it was one of the sons of Shitan, for it was an unbeliever, a Giaour, a dog to spit upon; in short, it was a Frank hakim so renowned for curing all diseases, that it was said he was assisted by the Devil. "Lahnet be Shitan!
"I'll tell you because I would not speak; and I do not intend so to do now, since I find that you wish that I should." "Then it appears," said the pacha, taking the pipe out of his mouth, "that the bastinado was as ill managed as the bowstring. We do these things better at Cairo. Hear me, old mother of Shitan!
