I was in a gorge, broken by hills; I proceeded more than an hour without seeing anything : at last I saw the Emir's army at the end of a valley, taking post upon some hillocks so as to make a great show. At this moment the chief of the tribe of the Oulasias, Bou-Hamedy, came to meet me, and said, ' The Emir is advancing towards this hillock ; come, and I will guide you to him.' I was then among tlie enemy's advanced posts : to retrcîat would have been to show timidity, and perhaps disarrange al...l the business, so I followed him, after tell- ing him that I thought it unmannerly of his chief to make me wait so long. The Kabyle, thinking that I was hesitating, told me to be easy and not afraid. I told him, 'I have no fear of anything, and amused to the sight of you, but I think it unbecoming in your chief to make me wait so long and come so fiu.' 'He is there ; you will see him directly." However, we stiU went a long way before we met him. Some apprehension was manifested among my staff: an officer of high rank called out that we were quite far enough.
