From this hill, however, I had a much better opportunity of surveying thebeauties of the adjacent lands, which are somewhat productive; and also toobserve the windings of the river _Seboo_, which, taking its source inthe neighbourhood of Fez, forms a junction with the river _Beth_, andfalls into the Atlantic 0cean.

After journeying about a league, we crossed this river in aferry-boat, and in a short time reached the fort of _Mamora_, whichlies about two miles to the south of the river. This fort, afterhaving been demolished by the Moors, was rebuilt by the Spaniards in1604, and taken by Muley Ishmael in 1681. It is commanded by anAlcaid, and inhabited by about forty or fifty families, who gain alivelihood by fishing for shads and eels; with which they supply theadjoining country during the winter season.
