Note 4 — CHAPITRE II
Reading edition
« When I was in a very weak state, having hardly succeeded in overcoming the severe fever by which I had been assailed, while as yet the corpses of my poor Jack and the sailor were hardly cold, Hamed, unmindful of all laws of humanity came to me and said he wished to go to Tuat with the Koffila. I told him he might go. I blame nobody for taking care of his carcass, so, in God’s name, let him go. I have given him a meherrie, provision, etc. So that he departs like a sultan ». Quart. Rev., art. cit.
