Summary
We shall close our remarks on Adams's Narrative with a brief review, of the extent to which it has hitherto been confirmed, and of the credibility of those parts of it which still rest on his own unsupported testimony. The first part of this examination may be disposed of in a very few words.
The preceding notes will be found to contain an uninterrupted chain of evidence by which his course may be traced backwards from London, through Cadiz, Tangier, Mequinez, Fez, Mogadore, and Wed-Noon, to the Douar of El Kabla in the depths of the Desert. His adventure with Aisha at El Kabla — the fame of which preceded him to Mogadore, and adhered to him during his residence at Wed-Noon — sufficiently establishes the identity of the individual whom Mr. Dupuis received from the Desert. From Mogadore, he is delivered into the hands of the American Consul at Tangier, who, in his turn, transmits him to Cadiz, where he is traced into the service of Mr. Hall. The Cadiz gentleman who first discovered him in the streets of London, supplies the last link to this chain of identity; and completes the proof (strengthened by other circumstances) that the gallant of Aisha at El Kabla, and the Tombuctoo-traveller in London, whether known by the name of Adams, or Rose, is one and the same individual.
