AMADI FATOUMA'S JOURNAL. 215 
I was kept in irons three months ; the King released 
me and gave me a slave (woman). I immediately went to 
the slave taken in the canoe, who told me in what manner 
Mr. Park and all of them had died, and what I have re- 
lated above. I asked him if he was sure nothing had 
been found in the canoe after its capture ; he said that 
nothing remained in the canoe but himself and a sword- 
belt. I asked him where the sword-belt was ; he said the 
King took it, and had made a girth for his horse with it.
