GIBRALTAR TO MALAGA. *l68
in this very country during the re- B o o k I 1 1 -
bellion of the oppreífed Moors, in the
reign of Philip II. when a moun-
taineer of the Alpujarras, named El
Zamar, flying with his family andKKT* 7
tribe from the fword of the purfuing
Spaniards, although he knew the cruel
death that awaited him if taken,
turned back his fteps to feek a child,
thirteen years oíd, who had dropped
down tiredon the road, and the ene-
my overtook him ítaggering up the
hill, with his daughter on his
íhoulders; but this act of fatherly
piety could not fave him from the
barbarity of the Count of Tendilla,
who tore off his flefli by peacemeal,
with pincers, in the fquare of Granada:
in that dreadful hour, the recolleótion
of the defperate ftate of his virgin.
