Poset mohamedansle dzamije:
V zadnjem dopisu sem citate-
ljem obljubil, da napisem par
vrstic, kako sem obiskal moha-
medansko mosejo, in Sc sezna-
nil z arabskim svecenikom ali
mezuinom. Nastanjen sem bill v
malem arabskem mestecu, h Sc
v resnici nahaja v puscavi.. Me-
sto Sc imenuje Tebessa, katero

minjajo z porocil casopisja "a

sem incl tudi prvo jezo ma ka-
nell, kar sem opisal v mojem
zadnjem dopisu.
Mesto je obdano z visokim in
sirokim, srednjeveskim obzid-
jem in stevilnimi stolpi. V ene-
ga teh stolpov, S katerega je bill
lep razgled, sem hodil v svojih
prostih urah in opazoval Arab
ce, Min sege in navade. Oble-
ka Arabcev Sc nj mic. spremeni-

mi je znano, da je bill sestnaj-

In tako Sc je zamesalo nekaj
srbohrvaSkih besed tudi med a.

Kadar sem incl kaj prostega
casa, sem bill gotovo v tenn stol-
pu in opazoval spodaj arabski

pretekli cas-, ko so predniki teh
ljudi, divji Turk, delali ropar-
ske pohode v nase lepe sloven-
sl1e dezele, ugrabljali mlsde dec
ke in jih vzgajali kot janicarje,
kateri so bill Sc hujsi sovrazni-
XII kristjanov, kakor pa divji
Turk.
Ker sem med Arabci opazil
veliko stevilo lepo rastlih MOI
rdecimi lasmi, kakor tudi belo
lasih Arabcev je xeliko, mi je
prislo ma misel, da so to goto-
vo potomci slovensko = hrvas-
kin suznjev in janicarjev.
Gotovo 81 veliko, stevilo Scita-
teljev predstavlja Afriko VS. e
drugace, kakor pa v resnici je.
Afrika nj samo pesek, kakor sc
to vidi v premikajocih slikah.
Tukaj SO kraji, kateri so tako
lepi in rodovitni, kakor jih ina

veka spominjajo ma Arizona in
California. Recimo, da 81 v pu-

Tedaj sem Sc spomnil, da Sc
