The Sahara

In your voyage down the west coast of Africa, after passing the southern extremity of Morocco, you sail for days and nights together past the shores of a never-ending land of desolation. It is the Sahara, the great sea without water, to which the Moors have given also the name of Bled-el-Ateuch, the land of thirst. These desert shores stretch for five hundred leagues without one port of call for the passing vessel, without one blade of grass, one sign of life. Solitude succeeds solitude with mournful monotony; shifting sandhills, vague horizonsand the heat grows each day more intense. At last there comes in sight over the sands an old city, white, with yellow palm trees set here and thereit is St Louis on the Senegal, the capital of Senegambia. A church, a mosque, a tower, houses built in Moorish stylethe whole seems asleep under the burning sun, like those Portuguese towns, St Paul and St Philip of Benguela, that once flourished on the banks of the Congo. As one draws nearer one sees with surprise that this town is not built on the shore, that it has not even a[10] port, nor any direct means of communication with the outer world. The flat, unbroken coast line is as inhospitable as that of the Sahara, and a ridge of breakers forever prevents the approach of ships. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
