The Arabs, enraged at the Staying
of two of their number, withdrew a
short distance to hold a council of war
and discuss the fate of the prisoners.
The sailors, of course, could not under
stand a word that was said but from
the angry looks cast in their direction
they inferred that there was a strong
sentiment in favor of promptly Sitting
their thrOats.
Milder counsels evidently prevailed,
for before the day was far advanced
the helpless captives were strapped on
pack mules and with the rest of the
caravan began a never-to-be-forgOtten
journey across the desert.
1t was long past midnight when the
march finally ended at a good-sized
oasis. By that time the unfortunate
Sailors were half dead with their suf-
ferings
Since the night before they had
tasted no food except few mOuldy dates
which their captOrs had crammed into
their mouths. Only at long intervals
were they given a few drops of water to
mOlsten their Parched thrOats. The
cords that bound them were cutting deep
into their wrists and ankles and the
jolting of the mules on which they rode
made the pain almost unbearable. In
addition E'Ecuyer was suffering terri
