IfEngNsh magtfslue Truths says: Tlie sjinrat time I went to Malta. I had an ^ -opportunity of observing the effects ,JMihf fatalism. I vu in Alexandria, and ^ saw the raaU-ateatuer leave whilst I as rowing towards it, so I asked a laptain in a steamer close by, that ap- .;.^jjeai"ifed about to start, whether he ;$votil<] give me a passage to Malta, If lie was going there. "Certainly," he teplled, "If you don't mind my cabins _ ; fceing filled with merchandise, and my * decks being covered with pilgrims on their way back to Tunis from Mecca." • , -5'he «ee«»d day that we were at sea, a " number of these pilgrims died of fever, pnd were incontinently thrown over- "|)oard. Many more then shammed ^cath, in order to share the fate of "f heir friends. They too, went over­ board, with a suiile of beautitude on .^Jheir countenances. I remonstrated >*#rttii the captain, being then young i^liind tender-hearted. He replied that "jtk was an aftalr between their Sheik and them, and that he had nothing to 0o with the matter, beyond a general : 4'ish that on our arrival at Malta, we should not be put iuto quarantine. I then had it out with the Sheik, who could speak a little French. He ex­ plained !o me that any one dying dur­ ing the pilgrimage went direct to Paradise, and that it was a friendly act to throw qver pilgrims with the fever, without looking to closely whether they were dead, more par­ ticularly when they themselves encour­ aged the pious fraud. The result of all this was, that more thau two-thirds of the pilgrims were cast into the sea, and the captain, un our arrival, ob­ tained pratique, without our being pnt into quarantine, "The system,'* he dryly observed, "suits them, and it suits me." This occurred flve-and- twenty years ago, and I hope that Sheiks and captains are no longer al­ lowed to indulge these eccentricities during voyages between Alexandria and Malta.
