MEHEMET ALIAS REMINISCENCES OF HIS EARLY
LIFE.—" It is singular." said Mehemet Ali, to Prince
Puckler Muskau, who has recently published a work re-
specting Egypt, " that I should be the only child remain-
ing of seventeen ! Nine of my brothers died at a ten-
der age, which was the reason my parents educated me
like a child of high birth. I soon became enervated and
indolent, so that my young playfellows used to laugh at
me, and exclaim, What will become of Mehemet Ali,
who has nothing, and is himself good for nothing, when
his parents die ? This speech made a deep impression
upon me, and I determined, when I was fifteen years of
age, to conquer myself. I frequently fasted for several
days, or deprived myself of sleep for the same length of
time ; and never ceased practicing all manner of bodily.
exercise ; until I far excelled all my comrades. I remem-
ber rowing for a wager in a storm towards a small island,
which is still my property. No one reached the goal ex-
cepting myself, for although the skin was rubbed off my
hands, I would not allow the excrutiating pain to deter
me from my purpose. Thus I inured my mind and body
to hardship. until I afterwards found sufficient opportu-
nity, as I before told you, to prove myself useful to
others in the petty warfare of our villages. When I
was nineteen years of age, after the death of my father
a still better opportunity offered itself to me. Greek
pirates had been guilty of various excesses, and my
uncle, whom several of the influential Turkish landed
proprietors wished to ruin, received through their instru-
mentality, instruct ions to pursue the pirates, with a smail
ship of war belonging to the sultan, and put a stop to
their trade. My uncle was obliged to obey ; but he first
went directly to the Pacha, to represent that all his pro-
perty would be ruined if thus left suddenly for an in-
definite period, as lie could not trust the care of it to any
of his family ; but at the same time mentioning his in-
capacity for this duty, and took the opportunity of pro-
posing me as an enterprising person already accustomed
to war. He succeeded i i persuad'ng the Pacha ; I wished
for nothing mor-, and really had the good fortune not
only to force the pirates to fly, but, after a short pursuit,
to board their vessel and make prisoners of all who were
not cut down. For this feat I was raised to the rank of
a Turkish captain. This rapid promotion excited envy,
and created me many enemies; my uncle even becoming
jealous of me, shortly afterwards sent me to Egypt, perhaps
'not with the best intentions. How little did I then
what the fates had destined me to he to that country ; but
the ways of Providence are wonderful."
