I wonder now how I dared to speak to him in this manner. But the bluff carried. Hassan Bey looked at me curiously for a moment  then smiled and offered me a cigarette, assuring me that he believed me a loyal citizen, and declaring he felt deeply hurt that I had not come to him for permission to visit the cruiser. I WONDER NOW HOW I DARE TO SPEAK TO HIM IN THIS MANNER BUT THE BLUFF CARRIED HASSAN BAY LOOKED AT ME CURIOUSLY FOR A MOMENT THEN SMILED AND OFFERED ME A CIGARETTE ASSURING ME THAT HE BELIEVED ME A LOYAL CITIZEN AND DECLARING HE FELT DEEPLY HURT THAT I HAD NOT COME TO HIM FOR PERMISSION TO VISIT THE CRUISER
ant of the police, who was superintending the embarkation of refugees. I knew him and he knew me. Half an hour later I was in police headquarters under examination by Hassan Bey. I was desperate, and answered him recklessly. A seasick man is indifferent to shipwreck. This was the substance of our conversation:-- "How did you get aboard the ship?" "In a boat with some refugees. A woman hid me with her skirts." "So you were trying to escape, were you?" "If I had been, I shouldn't have come back." "Then what did you do on the cruiser?" "I went to talk to the captain, who is a friend of mine. My life is in danger. Fewzi Bey is after me, and I wanted _my friends in America_ to know how justice is done in Palestine." "Who are your friends in America?" "Men who could break you in a minute." "Do you know to whom you are speaking?" "Yes, Hassan Bey. I am sick of persecution. I wish you would hang me with your own hands as you hanged the young Christian; my friends would have your life for mine.
