No sooner was Granada fallen then thousands of desperate Moors left the land which for seven hundred years had been their home, and, disdaining to live under a Spanish yoke, crossed the strait to Africa, where they established themselves at various strong point , such as Shershel, Oran, and notabley at Algiers, which till then had hardly been heard of.
