About this time the Kel-owi 
take possession of A'fr or A's-

Si<K Mohammed built Swera or Mo- 
gaclor. 
About this time Gogo, which had 
hitherto been ruled by the Ruma, 
was conquered by the Tawarek 
tribe of the Awelimmiden. 
Probably in consequence of this 
event, A'gades, having been de- 
prived of its commercial resources,

'Abd el Kader produces a reli-

querors*, or rather of the race 
of the To] ode,— the Wolof in- 
termixed with the Fulbe — a- 
gainst the element Malinke 
and Ptillo. Sattigi Samba- 
lamu, the last of the Soltana 
Deniankobe. The order of the

Venture collects his information 
from two Moroccain mer- 
chants. Tombo very power- 
ful. Marka, the Aswanek, in 
Baghena. Kawar, the Fulbe, 
in Masina. 
Timbuktu, according to the very 
doubtful statement of Shabini"} - , 
under the supremacy of Hausa. 
If this were true, it would be a very 
important fact ; but it is evidently 
a mistake, A'usa being meant.

About this period falls the 
quarrel between the Sheikh 
El Mukhtar el kebir and the
