He knew he could make his own terms if successful in the siege pf the Spanish' fort And his mind was made up He would become Sultan of Algiers and would extend his new empire far along the African coast TRAINS 6000 MEN UruJ Barbarossa arrived at Algiers with sixteen galleots and six thousand men Among these men were groups of his own mountaineers of Jipil upon whom he counted for scaling operations lie had ' trained them well un- Six thousand mixed-fighterder command of so n6ted a leader as Barbarossa should have swarmed right over the fortifications Inside of which were only two hun- dred Spanish' soldiers a modern reader naturally concludes But" it must be remembered that the Spaniards were the foremost warriors of the world at that time and primitive peoples were afraid of them One Spaniard well armed well fortified and wearing a coat of mail was a match for hundreds Af barbarians so long as fear dominated the inferior races and worked for Spanish supremacy The Spaniards were within an enclosure which was considered by the engineers of the time to be impregnable They were not in the leaft worried by - the barbarian hosts without Barbarossa felt confident of &uc cess but he was in no hurry He wanted to conquer his hosts before starting in on the enemy He wanted to make it evident to all that he was master of the city bein tor mastery of the fore fortified enclosure ' his By way of demonstrating technique to the Moors Barbarossa launched an attack upon the Spanish stronghold and' kept it up for twenty days Of course he made no breach in the wall1? and he lost a good many men But the Moors and the Arabs were immensely entertained HOST OF WILD MEN ' The Moors had 'among them ancient families that boasted an aristocratic lineage going back to Granada and beyond UruJ and his host of wild men had no more respect for these ancient families than they had for the enemy Thty violated the customs of the Moore refused to accord any courtesy to their courtly hosts and outraged the sensibilities of the people of Aiders The Algerians began to regret that they had called In these wild men They regretted all too late They wished they might be restored to a respectable Spanish vassalage But they found the ls and the Turks altogether deaf to hints Sheik Salim was murdered in his bath by one of Barbarossa s men following some quarrel between the Arabs and the Turks t Several of the Moorish v j townspeople were murdered for no- godd So the Algerines made contact 'With the Spaniards in the citadel They promised to help the Spaniards the barbarian invaders that had been brought in to extirpate the Spaniards The haughty men of Spain smiled and agreed Yes they wpuld help the Moors against invaders if the people of Algiers would agree to resume payment of the tribute at once It was agreed TO SMITE GUESTS" A plot was formed' Oti a certain day at a certain hour the Spaniards were to sally forth and I'"- - V " i ' ' i - - -- —— i ' '' addition the fuel mixtur from the cirburetor has to be heavier the lmw i- tTalung time to warm up thf engine "i nthe morning : nevertheless-letufris quite assaying For then there is less eventually change of unburned fuel seeping flown into the crankcasp diluting the liibri-citln- g 'oil scoring the cylinders and speeding the' engine toward a fclaite of ruin This is perhaps the Jraosta wey at least to keep jewn IKe cat ef operating an autombhile n winter-tas 'low a!
