Two German englreera, Herr Wng ner. and Herr.Sinten, while prospect ing recently In the Atlan Mountains, bad a narrow escape from death ai the hands of Moorish brigands. Describing tbe adventure, Herr Wagnei states: "While we were on tbe way tc Tarndant, near Mount Elmuai, a hand of- thirty brigands surrounded us. and pointing tbelr rifles, demanded 9200 81ntes and 1 tried to come to an amicable settlement by offering to leave our two mules as guarantee ta theh bands while we fetched the money from Tarndant and reclaimed tbe aul-mala But the briyandn refused and, keeping tbelr rlflea pointed at ns, drove us along the roughest conceivable paths Into the hills till we nr rived at a lonely bouse belonging tc 8helkh All, captain of the band. Out Moorish servants were then plundered, stripped of their clothes, and turned adrift "One brigand wanted to cut off my servants finger to obtain posnentlon of on almost worthless stiver ring fixed firmly on It But tbo servant rescued tbe finger by tearing off the ring with hie teeth.

The brigands then placed us In a room four yards square, and fed us ou bread and water for five days. We slept on the earthen Boor. "On tbe fifth day, tbe brigands having taken nearly all our clothes, the chief, with four followers, removed us to a deep, damp cellar where it waa dark day and night On the sixth day tbe brigand chief again appeared with several followers, bearing a Jug of water aad'ttro long sharpened knives, and informed ua he bid, sent tbe Kald of 'Tarndant an ultimatum that unless a ransom of 9000 waa paid before 3 o'clock next morning, both of us would' be with' the knives. They departed, 'locking the; door, and leaving ua to ponder on our approaching fate. 8hortly before I o'clock we heard a noise outside the door, and the Sheikh of Menials and Malal Ammar, a friend of tha Kald of Tarndant, appeared with the brigand chief.

They told na the ransom was paid, and we were liberated hurriedly.
