The next day we were again under the
flag Of Eneland-now dropping at half
mast from fortr,ss and tower and man
of-war Minute guns from ships bate.
ries aud casemates were announcing the
arrival Of some sad and unwelcome
ncws. Prince Alfred, who had been with
his guard hunting wild boar In Africa,
arrived in time TO learn that his relative,
the King of the Beleians, had just died.
The only interest we felt In this event
was that It stirred ny a pandemonium OF
noise and smoke and prevented MS from
81 eine the taiess monkeys which have
for centuries been living In the crevices
of the great rock. The sound of the
guns had driven them 10 their hiding
places As We should never again have
a chance Of seeing them the disappoint
ment was greater than If We ourselves
had been related TO the dead monarch.
The afternoon Of this day saw us take
our departure from the far.iamed Gibel-
el-Tarik, or mountain Of Tarlc, on ac'
court of whose successes here the g eat
fortress rock origina " got its name
Gibraltar. We saw with regret its grey
tons descend behind the western horizon

harbor of Malaga, TO which city we were
now on our way.
