wife on board; who frequently, accompanied him in his
voyages. The traveller, who, having changed his faith;
was habited in the Turkish dress, winch very well became
him, as also did his beard, recommended himself extremely
to the holy by, his entertahtiog conversation and engaging

husband and wife were delighted with their fellow,voyirger;
and when the vessel arrived m Alexandria, Montagne was
of great service to the captain, and introduced hint toles-
Vaal merchants of his acquaintance, so. that he quickly
procured it cargo at great advantage.. As it consisted of
corn for Algiers,, anti. he intended, as soon as he had dirt-
posed of it, to return to Egypt for a 'second cargo, he
thought he could not do better than leave his wife under
the titre of his friend, who promised, to pay her every
possible attention. In fine, :Wortley improved his op-
portunity so well, , that the unfortunate captain; on
