charms Of the damsel from 'bonny Dundee He ap-
preached her and suddenly flung string of figs about
her neck. The captain Of the ship came forward and
informed his bewildered passenger that the Turks gft
a token of admiration and affection The mater
speedily became serious. Through the medium Of an
interpreter the Turk entered into with the
captain, and inquired the sum for which he would Be
willing to sell the lady-he had nine wives already. he
said, but could he possess this beauty she would
be the queen and slight of his haremn The captain.
for the sake Of joke replied that her price vas &c.
900 piastres (about s500) The Turk grumbed at the
enormous demand; it just double he said what be
paid for the most handsome Circassiau Georgian, or
Mingrelian ever brought to the Alexandrne market
The captain however stuck to bis price, and so the
parties separated. But on the following morning.
when the captain escorting the lady 70 the resi-
dcnce Of her relations, the Turk again made bis ap
pearance, and throwing another fig necklace around
the adYs neck utinaed that he was prepared 10 give
the requisite sum Here was a dilemma But the
captain soon cleared himself "Foh !" said be, you're
too late sold her yesterday for thousand pasres
more; 60 you've lost her"
