this inhabitant of Sahara is not venomous, though it is not less
destructive: the Arabs (speaking of it figuratively)[104] affirm, that as it
passes along the desert it fires the ground with the velocity of its
motion. It is impossible to escape it; it will twist itself round an ox,
and after crushing its bones, will swallow it gradually, after which it
lies supinely on the ground two or three days, unable to proceed till
the animal be digested. Two of these monsters stationed themselves
near the road from Marocco to Terodant, near to the latter city, a few
years since; one of them was killed, the other remained there several
days, and prevented travellers from passing the road: they were both
young ones, being about twenty feet long. Various stories are related
by the Arabs of Sahara respecting the Boahs; but they are mostly
ingenious fables, originally intended to inculcate some moral lesson.
Without speaking of all the various kinds of serpents which are either
timid, harmless or not venomous, I must observe, that
The Domestic Serpents claim some attention. In the city of
Marocco these animals abound; there is scarcely a house without its
domestic serpent, which is sometimes seen moving along the roofs
of the apartments; they are never molested by the family, who would
not hurt them on any consideration, conceiving them a benediction
on the household; they have been known to suck the breasts of
women whilst asleep, and retire without offering any further injury.
They are so susceptible, as to be sensible of enmity towards them,
and it is thought imprudent to incur their displeasure; for this reason
the inhabitants of Marocco treat them kindly, and as members of the
family, not wishing to disturb an animal that claims the rights of
hospitality by settling in their house.
The Tortoise. (Fackrone.) Land-tortoises of a very large size
abound in Barbary and in Suse, where, in the afternoon of a hot day,
one may collect a dozen in the course of an hour. They are
esteemed good eating by the French, and the inhabitants of the
shores of the Mediterranean.[105] The wonderful geometrical
construction of this animal is such, that it will bear a ton weight on its
back.
In Sahara the turpins, or land tortoises, are reported to be very
large, weighing four, five, or six hundred weight; but I never heard of
any like those found at the time Leo Africanus wrote, who mentions a
man who had seen one as big as a tun, and he himself says he saw
one the size of a barrel.
BIRDS.
Surplus 0 12 oz.
These 12 oz. over the quintal are brought into imaginary pieces,
or single feathers; thus 4½ surplus face feathers are equivalent to
one ounce, so that 12 oz. will make fifty-four feathers; the contract
will therefore stand thus:
100 lb. at 90 drahims per lb. is 9000
drahims, or 900 Mexico dollars.
54 feathers or pieces, at 9 drahims per
piece, is 486 drahims.
9486 drahims,
which sum is equivalent to 948⁶⁄₁₀ Mexico dollars.
FISH.
G old and Silver Mines are found in several parts of the Empire of
Marocco; but more particularly about Messa in the province of Suse.
Being once on a visit to the Vicegerent of this province, Alkaid
Mohammed ben Delemy, at Shtuka, and desirous to examine the
country in the vicinity of Messa, together with its mines, I requested
an escort from the Vicegerent, to accompany me thither, which he
readily granted. On my arrival at Messa, I proceeded to the southern
banks of the river, where I was shewn a gold mine, which, I was
informed, had been worked by the Portuguese, when they were in
possession of this district, and who, previous to their departure, had
thrown stones into the aperture, which the Shelluhs had frequently
attempted in vain to remove. These stones were of an immense size,
and it would have required considerable mechanical powers to effect
their removal. I was next conducted through the bed of the river,
when I discovered, on a bluish soil, two separate strata of blue sand
intermixed with silver dust; of this I collected a small quantity, and
sent it to England to be analyzed; but such is the disposition of the
people, that they will not allow the sand to be taken away in any
quantity for the purpose of extracting the metal; though they make no
use of it themselves, being unacquainted with the proper method of
refining it.
Near Elala and Shtuka, in the same province, there is a very rich
silver mine; but being situated between two clans, they are
continually fighting about it, and by this means both parties are
deprived of the benefit it offers. I have purchased lumps of this silver,
which had been refined by the natives, and it was more pure than
the silver of Spanish dollars.
There is another silver mine in the plains of Msegina, near Santa
Cruz: this was reported to the Emperor Seedi Mohammed, to be
extremely rich, and he accordingly sent some persons conversant in
minerals to inspect, and report upon it. Previous to their departure,
however, they were secretly informed, that he wished to discourage
the working of this mine, lest the province might be thereby rendered
too rich and powerful, and the people be enabled to throw off their
allegiance. In consequence of this, after a formal examination had
been made, it was reported that the mine would not pay for the
expense of working it. The entrance was then broken in, and the
Shelluhs, discouraged by this unfavourable report, and not
suspecting the motive for destroying the mine, paid no further
attention to it. This mine had probably been worked by the
Portuguese, when they were in possession of Santa Cruz and
Agurem.
Gold is also found in the Atlas mountains, and in Lower Suse, but
the mines are not worked.[113]
Suse also produces iron, copper, and lead ore. In the mountains
of Idaultit, they have iron, which they manufacture themselves into
gun-barrels, and other articles. At Tesellergt the copper mines are
extremely abundant; but they work them only as they want the metal.
In Tafilelt are mines of antimony; it abounds also in lead ore.
Mineral Salt.—West Barbary, Bled-el-jerrêde, and parts of Sahara,
abound in mineral salt, of a red colour, which is dug from quarries
and mines. In the province of Abda there is a very extensive lake,
which furnishes salt of a superior quality to the mineral; they are both
exceedingly strong, and are not fit to prepare meat with, having been
frequently tried; this, however, may be owing to the unskilfullness of
the Moors in curing meat.
Near the cities of Fas and Mequinas a similar salt is also found;
and a beautifully white and pure kind is procured among the rocks,
which bind many parts of the coast; this is produced by the
effulgence of the meridian sun, exhaling the water from the salt
which remains in the cavities.
Vast quantities of salt are conveyed by the Akkabahs to Soudan,
where none is produced, and on that account is so valuable at
Timbuctoo, that a pound weight is frequently bartered for an ounce
of gold dust.
Salt-petre.—This article, now prohibited from exportation, except
under certain restrictions, and particular grants, is the produce of
Fas, Marocco, and Terodant; that of Terodant or Suse is the best,
purest, and strongest, and in its unrefined state is equal to that of
Marocco when refined.[114]
Lead Ore (El Kahol).—There are two kinds of this mineral; that
which is the best and most esteemed sells for double the price of the
common kind, and is the basis of the black substance used by the
African ladies to tinge their eyes, eye-brows, and eye-lashes. The
Atlas mountains abound with this lead ore, particularly the eastern
side of them, towards Fighig and Tafilelt. The best kind, as already
observed, is called El Kahol Filelly (i.e. lead ore of Tafilelt).
Sulphur.—Before this mineral was imported from the
Mediterranean, it was dug from the foot of Atlas, opposite to
Terodant, where there are immense quantities.[115]
