Wallace stops for a bite of supper at a riverside village known by his boatman and with great care to keep his posessions and wits about him inds himself pleasantly surprised by warm local hospitatility and a simple but satisfying meal. He stays overnight and makes his way towards Alexandira in the early hours. As he makes his way to the city in the early morning gloom he is challenged by a british voice hailing him from another small boat - one of the blockading frigates has it's longboats out to enfore the picket. After a careful introduction his small felucca is towed by the longboat back towards the lagship, where (after quickly changing his shirt) he is introduced to the Commodore and the rest of the party. |
