Before leaving Mogador, in company with Mr. Willshire, I saw his Excellency, the Governor again, when I took formal leave of him.  He accompanied me down to the port with several of the authorities, waiting until I embarked for the Renshaw schooner.  Several of the Consuls, and nearly all the Europeans, were also present.  On the whole, I was satisfied with the civilities of the Moorish authorities, and offer my cordial thanks to the Europeans of Mogador for their attentions during my residence in that city.

A little circumstance shews the subjection of our merchants, the Consul not excepted, to the Moorish Government.  One of the merchants wished to accompany me on board, but was not permitted, on account of his engagements with the Sultan.

A merchant cannot even go off the harbour to superintend the stowing of his goods.  Never were prisoners of war, or political offenders, so closely watched as the boasted imperial merchants of this city.

After setting sail, we were soon out of sight of Mogador; and, on the following day, land disappeared altogether.  During the next month, we were at sea, and out of view of the shore.  I find an entry in my journal, when off the Isle of Wight.  We had had most tremendous weather, successive gales of foul wind, from north and north-east.  Our schooner was a beautiful vessel, a fine sailer with a flat bottom, drawing little water, made purposely for Barbary ports.  She had her bows completely under water, and pitched her way for twenty-five succeeding days, through huge rising waves of sea and foam.  During the whole of this time, I never got up, and lived on bread and water with a little biscuit.  Captain Taylor, who was a capital seaman, and took the most accurate observations, lost all patience, and, though a good methodist, would now and then rush on deck, and swear at the perverse gale and wrathful sea.  We took on board a fine barb for Mr. Elton, which died after a few days at sea, in these tempests.  I had a young vulture that died a day before the horse, or we should have fed him on the carcase.

An aoudad which we conveyed on account of Mr. Willshire to London, for the Zoological Society, outlived these violent gales, and was safely and comfortably lodged in the Regent’s Park.  After my return from Africa, I paid my brave and hardy fellow-passenger a visit, and find the air of smoky London agrees with him as well as the cloudless region of the Morocco Desert.
