Note 12 — FRENCH CONQUERORS AND COLONISTS.
Reading edition
"General Lamoricière habitually carries a stick. This has procured him, from the Arabs, the name of the Père-au-bâton, (the father with the stick:) Bour-à-boi. One of his orderly officers, my friend and comrade Captain Bentzman, gives Araouah as the proper orthography of Bour-à-boi. We have followed Escoffier's pronunciation."—Captivité d'Escoffier, vol. i. p. 30.
