-»5 A Dutch Account of Liberia 



Dutch " about nine miles from the Fort of Boutra*" Nor- 

 denskiold also alludes to this sugar planting by the Dutch 

 on the coast of Guinea. " Boutra " may have been on the 

 coast of Liberia or on the Ivory Coast/ at Great or Little 

 Butu. Rask states that " there is plenty of gold in the country 

 above Cape Mount and Cape Mesurado.'' 



' From Nordenskiold's allusion it is more likely to have been on the Gold Coast.
