The
Pacha came once accidentally into the barracks at Akko, and heard in the kitchen
a great quarrelling and disputing among the soldiers. He stepped furiously into
the kitchen, and without asking the cause of the quarrel, he grasped the first
soldier whom he could lay his hands on, and pitched him into the large kettle in
which the food for the soldiers was prepared, and which happened then to contain
boiling rice; after he had boiled for some time, he was taken out, and had to be
eaten by his quarrelling comrades in the presence of the magnanimous Pacha. What
a horrid meal!
