But doubtless they would say he was too small and light to hang satisfactorily, and would send him to Aden.

"I have avenged my people and myself," replied Moussa Isa, "even as I said, I go to Aden Jailwhere there are men, and where a Somal is known from a Hubshi" "You go to hangacross the road there at Duri Gaol," replied the babu, and earnestly hoped to find himself a true prophet.

Knowing what he knew of Teutonic intrigue and influence in India, Ceylon, Afghanistan, Aden, Persia, Egypt, East Africa, the Straits Settlements, and China, he was reminded of the men and women of Pompeii who ate, drank, and were merry, danced and sang, pursued pleasure and the nimble denarius, while Vesuvius rumbled.

THE GENERAL.On the fourth of January the senior naval officer at Aden had reported to the English admiralty that the German vessel General, another East African mail steamer, was under detention there upon strong suspicion and was being searched.

The report of the naval officer at Aden disclosed the fact that he had boarded and detained the ship at that place.

And although it was not found possible to reach an exact agreement upon this point, orders were issued by Great Britain that the right of search should not in future be exercised at Aden or at any place at an equal distance from the seat of war and that no mail steamers should be arrested on suspicion alone.
