under his command two hundred men on 
horseback, and two thousand on foot. Hav- 
ing thus liberated the whole eastern part of 
Bornu, he sat down quietly, when A'hmed 
sent for him. Assisted by the inspiring 
fanaticism of the faki, and by the courage 
and valour of his Kanembu spearmen, 
A'hmed was enabled to re-enter his capital, 
but soon after died *, in the beginning, as 
it seems, of a. h. 1225.

Dunama followed his father, who had already, 
in his lifetime, chosen him for his suc- 
cessor, and for a short time waged success- 
ful war against the enemy, till he too was 
driven out of his capital by the Fiilbe of 
Katagum, as it seems, in the end of 1226, 
or beginning of 1227. He then went wan- 
dering about in his own kingdom, chang- 
ing his residence every few months, first 
residing in Maje, near Fatoghana (the 
ancient Damasak), then in a place called 
Asegga, then near Mungono, then in Ber- 
beruwa, till he placed himself under the 
protection of the powerful faki, who alone 
had proved himself capable of resisting the 
victorious impulse which attended the 
march of the Fellata. Indeed a covenant 
was then made, assigning half of the re- 
venue of the liberated provinces to Mo- 
hammed el Amin. The faki now resided 
in the large town of Ngornu (" the bless- 
ing "), where he seems to have found 
zealous support from the many Tebu re- 
siding there, while the sultan held his 
court in some other place. 
But matters could not long remain in this 
state ; the population were not able to serve 
two masters, but they were obliged to de- 
cide for the one or the other. When, there- 
fore, the people all flocked to the man who 
had liberated them from a foreign yoke, the 
old party excited the sultan's jealousy, and 
instigated him to rid himself of his trouble-

* From the report given to Mr. Koelle by the B6rnu slave 'AH Eisami {African Native Literature, 1854, p. 93.), 
it would seem that A'hmed died before entering Ghasreggomo ; but although these narratives teem with interest, 
they have no historical authority for the time which succeeded 'All's capture in the year 1814-15, and even no 
paramount authority for the preceding period. And the other story, as told in p. 99. etseqq., agrees entirely with our 
statement. The account of the inroad of Waday and the death of Ibram (both which events happened in the time of 
Sheikh 'Omar), as given by that Negro, is quite absurd and full of confusion.
