Account ^Alexander Scott’s Captivity^ &c. 
Their dress differs from that of the pilgrims already mention- 
ed. It consists of a dark-blue linen shirt, a pair of short trow- 
sers, which reach to the knees, a red girdle, a knife at their 
side, and a musket. Their legs are bare, and on their feet are 
slippers of yellow leather lined with red, or sandals. 
The women have red slippers, bare legs, and a white Tidick 
with a broad plate of silver hanging in front of each shoulder, 
and a belt of yellow and green worsted plaited together. The 
“ women of the head-men hr^ve a dark-blue which is 
worn like the haick of the inferior orders, but has its corners and 
edges fringed with the ^ame colour, and they wear also a belt, 
which is sometimes all red, at other times white, or a mixture of 
yellow and green. The children wear a sort of woollen frock 
with short sleeves, which, with the breast of the frock, are work- 
ed with red worsted. 
There are many black slaves at El Hezsh. There are no 
houses better than the huts already described ; but the latter 
are very numerous, t'ents are also used, when a part of a fa- 
mily is obliged to go in quest of food for the cattle.

Art. V . — Table for determining accurately the Time of High 
Water at any given Port. Computed by General Sir Tho- 
mas Brisbane, C. B. F. R. S. E. 
The object of the following Table is to determine accurate- 
ly the time of High Water at any given port, by applying a 
correction dependent on the accelerated or retarded action of the 
Moon on the Tides in passing the given Meridian in her diffe- 
rent parallaxes. The elements of this Table have been given 
by the Marquis de La Place in the Mecanique Celeste, and we 
have here only interpolated his quantities, so as to render the 
method more simple to those who are not conversant in such 
calculations. 
* I'his is exactly the dress of females in Morocco. The haick is a large 
shawl of cotton, in which the women are so enveloped, that nothing is visible ex- 
j-cept one eye, their slippers, and their bare heels.
