I took our cook with us, but Khatíb provided some excellent Moorish dishes,
and all kinds of delicacies and sweets. During my stay he insisted on coming to my
dwelling for the conference instead of my going to him. I only stayed a couple of
days.
I am now so busy that time passes most rapidly.
BENABU. 1857.
Poor Benabu has been arrested at Fas by the Sultan and imprisoned. All his
property has been confiscated except the house in which he lived. The property
and jewels of his wives have not yet been touched.
To the surprise of everybody the Sultan has appointed, in Benabu’s place as
Basha, the youngest son of the former governor of Tangier, Alarbi el Saidi. He was
a bookbinder and very poor, but no sooner did he get the Sultan’s letter, than he
assumed the reins of power well, and with the dignity of a grandee. We are already
good friends.
Affairs were in a critical state in 1858, and Mr. Hay, who had
applied for leave of absence, which was granted only to be
immediately cancelled, writes to his wife on May 12:—
Only fancy what a shell has burst on me, scattering all my plans, especially as
last week I received my four months leave in full form! The fact is that affairs in
Europe are in such a state that Government wishes every man, I suppose, to be at
his post, ready to do his best in the moment of danger. Morocco is ticklish ground,
and it is here we might be exposed to a movement on the part of France, which
might prove a severe check to us in our naval preponderance in the
Mediterranean.
Here I am, again, all alone on the 1st of June. I miss you and the children more
than ever; but I know there are yearning hearts and thoughts for me on this day,
and that I am not forgotten.
By way of amusing me, I have just received from Government a dispatch telling
me to report upon a bundle of false allegations made against me by two
discontented merchants of Mogador. I am put out, and yet pleased, at having an
opportunity to let Lord Malmesbury know what I have done, in contradiction of
what these folk accuse me of not having done. I hear also of a virulent article, or
letter, which has appeared in the Daily News against me. The Gibraltar merchants
are very angry at the attack upon me, and I daresay they will defend me without
my saying a word—at least, I flatter myself they will.
He was not mistaken in his hope that his conduct would find
defenders at Gibraltar. Three weeks later he writes:—
I think I have told you I received a very handsome letter from the Gibraltar
merchants, quoting a resolution, dated June 1, in which, amongst other
compliments, they resolved, ‘That this Committee desires to express its strong
disapproval of the tone in which the letter in the Daily News of April 24 is couched
—casting reflections upon Her Majesty’s Chargé d’Affaires, Mr. Drummond Hay—
and its dissent from the opinions expressed by the writer with reference to the late
Treaty with Morocco. . . . That this Committee desires at once to place on record
its most grateful appreciation of Mr. Hay’s eminent public services in the protection
and support of British subjects in Morocco, and for his prompt and courteous
attention to the demands and complaints of British subjects.’
So you see the abuse of two men calls forth the praise of many others, and I
am the gainer.
The Sultan has just sent me a present of a most beautiful leopard. Fat, sleek,
and tame as a cat. He is chained up in the stable. I shall give him to the Queen, or
to the Zoo gardens, which will be the same thing. I wish you and the children were
here to see the beautiful creature.
I am in high favour, they tell me, with the Sultan, so I get a leopard. It is like the
gift of the white elephant to the unruly chiefs in India.
