A group of "beaters" for the boar hunt. Tetouan May 1891

"This was the day of the boar-hunt."

Dead boar slung over donkey's back, 1891

"About four o’clock the hunter returned successful, having killed the boar, and I was invited to ride into the City to see his prize. The great animal was slung over the back of a mule & looked just like a pig & very innofensive except for his big and savage looking tusks."

Taking gifts to the Governor, Tetouan, 1891

"Now as the Governor had been gracious enough to turn out the men of two villages as beaters for the hunt and had given us a guard for our camp we, in our turn, wanted, naturally, to do something for the Governor. We found on inquiry that a present of groceries was the usual one. This seemed a rather strange custom but then everything is unusual here. So we went to the Ghetto, & bought, tea, coffee, candles & sugar loaves, the conical kind covered with blue paper, altogether a large basket full and a small Jewish lad went on before, carrying it on his shoulder. We followed in our usual procession, I mounted on a donkey, the others walking."

Son Excellence Sidi Mohammed Bin Kadir, Morocco May 1891

"When we arrived at the Koubba we found the old Governor was dining, but his son received us cordially and bade us sit down. We had a very pleasant chat with him by the help of John, the interpreter. He was much interested to know that we had taken Kodaks of his entry the day before & asked if we would send him some of them, which we promised to do. Then I grew very bold & asked if he would consent to sit for us, which he did very complaisantly. He has a pleasant, kindly face, altogether a most attractive young Moor is Sidi Mohammed Ben Kadir."
