Beyond the snow-capped range seen from Algiers live the Kabyles, a people of different race and speech from the Arabs, whom most tourists glimpse for a day at Fort National. Barclay stayed among them and describes their villages, work, dress and customs, down to the silk bonnets the women bring from Tunis.
