[12]The Sultan Assuad referred to was the seventh of his
dynasty. He was buried at Shella, where his tomb bears an
inscription, of which the following translation has been kindly
supplied by J. Frost, Esq., British Vice-Consul at Rabát:—‘This is
the tomb of our Master the Sultan, the Khalifah, the Imam, the
Commander of the Muslims and Defender of the Faith, the
Champion in the path of the Lord of the worlds, Abulhasan, son of
our Master the Sultan, the Khalifah, the Imam, &c., &c. Abu Said,
son of our Master the Sultan, the Khalifah, the Imam, &c., &c.,
Abu Yusuf Ya’kub, son of ’Abd al-Hakk, may God sanctify his
spirit and illumine his sepulchre. He died (may God be pleased
with him and make him contented) in the mountain of Hintatah in
the night of (i.e. preceding) Tuesday, the 27th of the blessed
month of Rabi ’al-Awwal, in the year 752, and was buried in the
Kiblah of the Great Mosque of Al-Mansor, in Marakesh (may God
fill it with His praise). He was afterwards transferred to this
blessed and sainted tomb in Shella. May God receive him into His
mercy and make him dwell in His paradise. God bless our
Prophet Mahammad and his descendants.’

[31]The torture of the wooden jelab is only resorted to in
extreme cases to extort a confession about wealth supposed to
be hidden. The instrument of torture is made of wood, and
resembles the outer hooded garment of a Franciscan friar. It is
placed upright, and the victim is squeezed into it in a standing
position; points of iron project in various parts preventing the
inmate from reclining or resting any part of his body without great
suffering. There he is left upon bread and water, to pass days and
nights, until he divulges where his wealth is hidden.
[32]Mohammedans believe that dates of all deaths are written
in a book by Allah.
[33]Fatmeh is dead. He was a spendthrift, and the bags of gold
were soon squandered in dissipation.
[34]There are no remains of houses or other buildings within
the solid walls which were erected on the north and west side of
this small arsenal. There are two wide gates adjoining each other
through which the galleys were hauled up and placed in safety.
The gateways are of beautiful solid brick masonry; the north wall
is of stone; on the south-eastern side high ground rises from this
enclosure. On the top of the hill there are the remains of a rude
‘Campus Aestivus.’ About a mile up the river are the ruins of a
Roman bridge leading to Tangier, the Tingis of the Romans; the
chief arch of this interesting monument fell in 1880. The date of
the arsenal and bridge is, I believe, the year 1 A.D.

practised by the Moors; but they are a thousand years behind the
