I was tomake my first exhibition in this capacity in the royal presence, and tobe honoured with the task of shaving the head of the young prince ofLudamar. I accordingly seated myself upon the sand, and the boy with somehesitation sat down beside me. A small razor, about three inches long, was put into my hand, and I was ordered to proceed; but whether from myown want of skill, or the improper shape of the instrument, Iunfortunately made a slight incision in the boy's head, at the verycommencem...ent of the operation; and the king, observing the awkward mannerin which I held the razor, concluded that his son's head was in veryimproper hands, and ordered me to resign the razor, and walk out of thetent. This I considered as a very fortunate circumstance; for I had laidit down as a rule, to make myself as useless and insignificant aspossible, as the only means of recovering my liberty. March 18th. Four Moors arrived from Jarra with Johnson my interpreter, having seized him before he had received any intimation of myconfinement: and bringing with them a bundle of clothes that I had leftat Daman Jumma's house, for my use in case I should return by the way ofJarra.
