Overtaken the expedition through the de-
struction of the feet in Aboukir bay. But
the hotilla conveying the artillery, pro-
visions and ammunition passed along the
Mediterranean shores to the western
| branch of the Nile, where twas to ascend
and meet the army 80 miles below Cairo.
Meanwhile the soldiers had 60 miles to
march in the burning summer season over
the dreary desert, barren, waterless and
sun parched. There, too, they encoun-
tered in all their barbaric fierceness and
strength the hordes of Mamelukes.
The Mamelukes at the close of the eight
zenith century resembled the terrible Jan
izaries Of Turkey-except that the former
were mounted-and the Pratorian bands
Of Rome. They were at once the protectors
and the terror of sovereigns. At the time
Of the invasion Egypt was divided into "a
districts, each ruled by a hey. The beys
each maintained a force of 500 or 600
horsemen. originally bought as slaves
from the borders of the Caspian and Black
seas and trained to war, after embracing
Mohapmedanism. They always fought
on horseback and in line. Being complete
ly armed, intrepid and skillful, they
formed the best cavalry in the world
while their gross and mercenary natures
and unsparing cruelty made them the
real lords of Egypt, the oppressors of the
people. Sir Walter Scott thus describes
their meeting with the French on the
march from Alexandria to Cairo 1.-The
whole plain was covered with Mamelukes,
mounted on the finest Arabian steeds and
armed with pistols, carbines and blunder-
buses of the best English workmanship,
their plumed turbans waving in the air,
and their rich dresses and arms gIittering
in the sun. Entertaining a high contempt
for the French force as consisting almost
entirely Of infantry, this splendid barbaric
cavalry watched every opportunity for
charging them, nor did single stragglcr
escape the unrelenting edge of their sabers.
Their charge was almost as swift as the
wind, and as their severe bits enabled them
to halt or wheel their horses at full gaIlop
their retreat was as rapid as their advance

could fire over them. Several small en-
counters on the way to Cairo brought the
army to high efficiency in repelling or at
lacking the Mamelukes.
On the tedious desert march Napoleon
strobe on ahead, giving his men an exam
pie of hardihood and determination.
Though his face was habitually gloomy
and sphinxlike, his restless activity could
but arouse enthusiasm, and enthusiasm
was needed. The soldiers grumbled at
their hardships, and the officers openly ex-
pressed disgust. Murat and Lannes, the
future favorites of their chief, trod their
cockades in the sand and rallied at the mad
folly of the expedition.
Finally the column reached the Nile and
united with the flotilla. Seven days later
it reached Cairo, where Murad Bey, the
chief of the Mameluke horde, had assem-
bled IL, 900 followers, each having two
armed slaves to fight on foot. The latter,
numbering "a. 900, were placed behind in
trenchments on the western bank of the
Nile, covering the city opposite. After
deploying his squares en- echelon, or like
steps, with the right flank of each refused,
Napoleon marched upon the trenches but
discovering that the cannon of the Egyp-
tians were in stationary rests and not Oh
carriages, to be turned right or left, he di
rected q flank movement to escape their
direct front fire. Murad Bey instantly
saw the danger and gave the order to
charge. With q yell the Mamelukes swept
from their places on the TANKS of the bat
teries and circled around the advancing
lines. Napoleon allowed them to ride up
within half pistol shot before opening fire.
Meanwhile he harangued the legions, call
ing upon them to stand fast. To the di
vision in front of the pyramids he ex
claimed, Soldiers, from yon lofty sum-
mits 40 centuries look down upon you.
His face beamed with the arGor of combat
as the veterans remembered it from Italy,
and the squares stood the shock like in
vincibles. Musketry, grapeshot and shells
from the lines and the angles moved down
the fierce riders of the desert and with I'M
paralleled desperation they forced their
horses through the deep ranks, then
backed them out to clear pathway with
their iron heels. Failing in that, they
hurled upon the solid ranks their pistols
and poniards, Wills those who fell I'M
horsed, crawled on the ground and slashed
at the legs of the French soldiers with
knives and scimiters. But the barbaric
valor was wasted The bands one by one
deserted and plunged into the Nile. Then
the slaves abandoned the trenches, and the
French rushed to the bank of the river,
keeping up the slaughter until only Murad
and bodyguard Of few hundred horse
men remained. Thus, at a swoop, was de-
stroyed the finest body of horseback fight
ers ever seen upon the earth. Napoleon,
viewing the wrecks of the once mighty
host, declared, ,"Could 1 have united the
Mameluke horse to my French infantry, I
would have reckoned myself master of the
world Their overwhelming defeat struck
terror to the Moslems, and Napoleon was
named, in memory of the rolling flash of
his musketry and cannon volleys, Sultan
Kebir, king of fire.
