SERVILE RACES. 



educated as stewards, superintendents, and super - 

 cargos. The latter, though exceedingly addicted 

 to intrigue, are favourites with men, and, it is 

 said, with Arab women. 



Galla captives of many tribes, especially of 

 the Arisha and a few of the southern Somal, are 

 shipped from Hafun, Brava, and Hanir or Mak- 

 dishu. They fetch low prices, and are little 

 prized, being considered roguish and treacherous. 

 In appearance they are savage likenesses of the 

 Abyssinians. 



The coast of Zanzibar, which before the days 

 of the Periplus supplied the eastern world with 

 slaves, has of late years been exhausted by over- 

 driving. It may be divided into two sections : 

 the northern country, which exports from Mom- 

 basah and the little adjacent harbours as far 

 south as the Pangani river; and the southern 

 regions between Pangani and Kilwa. Details 

 concerning all these servile races will be given 

 when we visit their respective ports.
