In rushed a large body of soldiers and
sailors of the fleet, and the guards were disarmed. "Now, pacha of one
hour old, what sayest thou?"
"It is my destiny," replied Mustapha, rolling on the floor in agony.
"There is but one God, and Mahomet is his Prophet." And Mustapha
expired.
"The old fool has saved me some trouble," observed the renegade. "Take
away these carcases, and proclaim Ali as the new pacha."
Thus perished the two barbers, and thus did Huckaback, under the name of
Ali, reign in their stead. But his reign, and how long it lasted, is one
of the many tales not handed down to posterity.
