Aller dans une ville rebelle à l'autorité d'ali pacha, où les pharès partis) étaient aux prises, était une témérité inouie mais ces observations et plusieurs autres furent inutiles. J'étais connu des Ar gyro - Gastrites, j'avais une lettre de recommandation pour Mourtaza bey, un des chefs les plus puissants du pays, et je déclarai que je voulais tenter l'aven ture. Que pouvait-il en résulter? D'ètre repoussé, dé pouillé, c'était le pis - aller. J'expédiai un des posti Ions avec ma lettre, en prévenant celui auquel elle était adressée que sans attendre sa réponse, il me verrait arriver avant le coucher du soleil.
