For one more cruise with his buccaneers,

To singe¹ the beard of the King of Spain,

And capture another Dean of Jaen

    And sell him in Algiers.—A Dutch Picture.—Longfellow

 

The Soudan campaign and Dick’s broken head had been some months ended and mended, and the Central Southern Syndicate had paid Dick a certain sum on account for work done, which work they were careful to assure him was not altogether up to their standard. Dick heaved the letter into the Nile at Cairo, cashed the draft in the same town, and bade a warm farewell to Torpenhow at the station.

 

“I am going to lie up for a while and rest,” said Torpenhow. “I don’t know where I shall live in London, but if God brings us to meet, we shall meet. Are you staying here on the off-chance of another row? There will be none till the Southern Soudan is reoccupied by our troops. Mark that. Good-bye; bless you; come back when your money’s spent; and give me your address.”

There is iniquity² in many parts of the world, and vice³ in all, but the concentrated essence of all the iniquities⁴ and all the vices⁵ in all the continents finds itself at Port Said. And through the heart of that sand-bordered hell, where the mirage⁶ flickers⁷ day long above the Bitter Lake, move, if you will only wait, most of the men and women you have known in this life. Dick established himself in quarters more riotous⁹ than respectable. He spent his evenings on the quay
