His grandmother on the fathers side was the wife of plain 'Dinnis' Mccarthy of the Ssth Regiment of Foot-the Con- naught Rangers-and not exactly lady, I grieve to say. She left her husband, and after a liason with an officer of the Gibraltar Garrison drifted over to Tam gier. How she reached Fez and glided into the sultan's harem is beside this story. Certainly she was treated vastly above her deserts, became a woman of power and the mother of Moulai Hassan. the late Sultan.

learning when our ancestors were little better than savages. He has had many audiences of the sultan, both at Fez and Marraksh, and was afforded unique priv ileges of taking notes and photographs. He has contributed brilliant article to the new number of Appleton's Magazine describing the sultan:
