Finding Him Persist In This Determination, The Moors Robbed Him Of Every Thing He Possessed, And Went Off With Their Camels; The Poor Major Being Thus Deserted, Returned On Foot To A Watering Place In Possession Of The Moors, Called Tarra.

He had been some days without food, and the unfeeling Moors refusing to give him any, he sunk at last under his distresses.

Whether he actually perished of hunger, or was murdered outright by the savage Mahomedans, is not certainly known; his body was dragged into the woods, and I was shown at a distance the spot where his remains were left to perish.

About four miles to the north of Simbing, we came to a small stream of water, where we observed a number of wild horses; they were all of one colour, and galloped away from us at any easy rate, frequently stopping and looking back. The Negroes hunt them for food, and their flesh is much esteemed.

About noon we arrived at Jarra, a large town situated at the bottom of some rocky hills. But before I proceed to describe the place itself, and relate the various occurrences which befel me there, it will not be improper to give my readers a brief recital of the origin of the war which induced me to take this route; an unfortunate determination, the immediate cause of all the misfortunes and calamities which afterwards befel me. The recital which I propose to give in this place will prevent interruptions hereafter.
