The great men of that day were dead orin prison, while I had returned to health, — andall in the short space of some six ! How are the mighty fallen !I recovered more quickly than I had fallen ill,and in a day or two, under Kaid Macleans care,was able to leave my bed and sit in one of hiseasy-chairs and watch the ever-changing scene thatpresented itself to me in the heart of the Sultanscamp. No one who has not seen the great mahalla ofMorocco on the march and pitched can form anyidea of the strange mixture of boundless con-fusion and perfect order that succeed each other insuch quick succession. A few words as to how theSultan travelled and how he lived cannot but prove.
