The Sultan, or Governor of Tesaoua, is subject to 
the sovereign of Maradee, who is the only independ- 
ent black prince in this part of Africa. The in- 
habitants are mixed, pagans and Muslims, but 
these last are not bigoted. 
En-Noor visited us this evening, and I asked 
him if he recollected earthquakes in this country. 
The old Sheikh emphatically replied, Babo, 
" There are none."
