attacked from a different quarter. 
The Jowers, Kakaroos, and some other Kaartans, who had 
deserted from him at the commencement of the war, and had 
shewn a decided preference to Mansong and his army during 
the whole campaign, were now afraid or ashamed to ask for- 
giveness of Daisy, and being very powerful in themselves, 
joined together to make war upon him. They solicited the 
Moors to assist them in their rebellion (as will appear here- 
after) and having collected a considerable army, they plundered 
a large village belonging to Daisy, and carried off' a number of 
prisoners. 
Daisy immediately prepared to revenge this insult ; but the 
Jowers, and indeed almost all the Negro inhabitants of Lu- 
damar, deserted their towns and fled to the eastward ; and the 
rainy season put an end to the war of Kaarta, which had 
enriched a few individuals, but destroyed the happiness of 
thousands. 
Such was the state of affairs among the nations in the neigh- 
bourhood of Jarra, soon after the period of ray arrival there. 
I shall now proceed, after giving some description of that place, 
with the detail of events as they occurred.
