the impression yet perfectly inscribed
upon the tablets of my memory
Before our salute to the Turkish FLAG
had been fired we observed boat leav-
ing the landing of little town in front
OF which we had dropped our anchor,
and when the courtesy had been paid,
dapper little gentleman, dressed like
Turk and speaking the French Ian
guage fuently, stepped on the quarter
deck and in elegant phrases babe us
welcome to Johanna. He informed the
captain that our vessel was the first
one in thirty years that had displayed
the American flag there
After the official part of his visit was
so satisfactorily settled, the visitor said
his return to shore was necessary. as
he had to settle very complicated
case between Zanzibar slave-dealer
and Johanna merchant. Anxious to
be present at a trial of this description,
delicate hint was dropped. which
brought forth the invitation to investi-
gate the manner in which Turkish JUS
tlce was melted out to evil-doers.
When the man-of-war's boat, con-
tanning two American officers, arrived
at the little town, the army of Johanna
turned out in force to do them honor.
and to be used as an escort to the long
white building observed from the yes
sci, it being the residence of the god
of justice. The army consisted of
three individuals; one was dressed in
white trousers and the cast0ff red
coat of an English soldier; he was an
officer; the other wore the fatigue
dress jacket of French hussar over
his burnoose, and represented the rank
and file, while youngster of about
ID years of age, carrying and belabor-
snare drum, proved the existence of
band. The troops, after falling into
line, marched ahead of the visitors, and
IN this impressive manner we arrived
at the kadi's court, a long, two-story
building divided into five apartments.
The last room was the city prison, and
on our visit occupied by portion of
the slave cargo brought to the islam d
by the Zanzibar dealer, whose conduct
was to be investigated that day.
Upon our arrival the Kadi invited
us in, and two chairs being placed
upon the platform, the Americans had
an opportunity seldom offered visitors
to that court.
He fatty refused to answer a ques-
ton, and the Kadi took opportunity to
give the Americans an insight into the
resources of his court. A wave of the
Judges hand brought two burly min
ions of the law to the side of his muliah
customer and in a few moments bis
body was on the floor, face downward,
his bare feet were brought soles up
ward, and long stick about an inch
in diameter came in contact with those
soles in such peremptory manner
that the third blow proved him a solo
ist of no mean capacity. He howled

Prime Minister ana ashered into =
large room elegantly carpeted. and
with walls lined with luxurious divans.
upon which we took our places. One
end of the room was curtained by a
heavy Persian portiere, which was
pushed aside and in walked the Sultan.
He was one of the most magniticently
built human beings ever gaZed upon
over six feet high He conversed flu
emily in French, and, after partaking
of light Tepast, the Americans re-
turned to the vessel, with the excep-
ton of the pair whose ability to speak
the Sultan's favorite tongue procured
a pressing invitation TO stay on shore
that day. The dignity of the Sultan
relaxed considerably after the higher
officials had departed and our social
visit was very entertaining. The ruler
informed us that he was of the Moham-
medan faith, had been governing the
island for three years, had previously
visited Paris and the large cities OF
Europe, disliked the turmoil and con-
fusion of those cities, and was perfectly
contented in Johanna.
The people were Mohammedans, but
not of the orthodox kind; the Sultan
and his prominent subjects INDUCED in
grape-luice to some extent, and the
strict Mussulman would find a very
liberal community there. Missionaries
had never as yet tried to convert any
one on the isle, and the city prison was
used that day for the first time in sew
enteen years. The Sultan had two
wives, and followed King Solomon's
example to some extent by possessing
twenty-five concubines, but the rules
of the harem in Johanna are not in all
respects like those in vogue in Con-
stantinople. The actual wives of the
ruler were not allowed to be in the
presence of any man but their husband
After marriage even their father is ex-
cluded, so the minister explained, his
daughter being one of the wives of the
Sultan, but the other ladies of the
harem were allowed considerable lib
erty, receiving visits from their rela-
tives of both sexes.
In little while in marched two wo-
men carrying the fresh overdress of
the Sultan and silver dish, which was
placed in the center of the room. 1t
was impossible to tell whether those
women were old or young, comely or
plain, as they wore thin leather masks
resching from the eyebrows to the
chin and having holes for nose, eyes,
and ears, with a clasp on the back of
the head. which caused Them to fit very
closely. Two others entered carrying
small dish with live Goals; the silver
dish was placed upon tripod about
three inches high, the fire emptied into
it, and a handful of herbs thrown on
the fire, when light smoke, having a
heavy rose perfume, filled the apart
ment. The Sultan arose, and, placing
himself over the little tri pod, was dis
robed of all but a pair of white silk
trousers. His body-from the waist
up-was rubbed with beautiful ivory
brushes. After receiving a vigorous
dose he was robed in white silken
burnoose, and chair placed before
him, so as to enable him to sit down.
When seated the portiere was pushed
aside and four other women, similarly
