Excerpt from Scribner's Magazine, Vol. 66: July, 1919 With such opportunities ahead it was impossible, that brilliant morning Of September, 1917, not to be off quickly from Tangier, impossible to do justice to the pale-blue town piled up within brown walls against the thickly-foliaged gardens of the Mountain, to the animation of its market-place and the secret beauties of its steep Arab streets. For Tangier swarms with people in European clothes, there are English, French and Spanish Signs above its shops, and cab-stands in its squares; it belongs, as much as Algiers, to the familiar dog-eared world of travel and there, beyond the last dip of the Mountain, lies the world of mystery, with the rosy dawn just breaking over it. The motor is at the door and we are off. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
