PEEFACE. vii 



We were also much indebted for assistance and hospi- 

 tality to the British Consular agents on the Marocco coast, 

 and especially to the late Mr. Carstensen, then Vice-Consul 

 at Mogador. We should not omit our acknowledgments 

 of the courtesy and valuable information received from the 

 late M. Beaumier, French Consul at the same port. 



We trust that in the course of the following pages we 

 have not omitted to express our thanks to other friends 

 who have kindly contributed valuable information. The 

 scope of this volume being mainly to give an account 

 of our personal experience and observations, we have 

 used, but sparingly, other materials, which might be in 

 place if we had aimed at the production of a work of a 

 more elaborate character.
