I have been unable to identify just what Twain is referring to in this passage from The Innocents Abroad. He describes passing under the frowning fortress with a garrison of one. He calls this fortress Malabat. I can find no reference to such a fortress in my Google searches (even duckduckgo). The closest I can find is the Moorish Castle at Gibraltar but the dates are wrong for a match. It also does not seem to lie on a route between Gibraltar and Tangier. Help with identifying just what fortress he was referring to would be greatly appreciated. -- There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. http://bscottholmes.com
