202 SLAVE-TRADE. 
presence of the Sheikh, and obtained his pardon 
and the promise of his restoration to power. His 
brother knew this well, and, of course, would not go 
to the capital. It is surprising, however, that the 
rebellion could hold out so long against so large a 
force : the people of Zinder must be framed for war. 
The Tuaricks during the struggle stood by and 
looked on. The displaced brother is now at Kuka, 
having there obtained the pardon of the Sheikh. 
He fled to the Tuaricks after the capture of the 
town. 
There are several pretty shady trees scattered 
through the town of Zinder, planted mostly in the 
gardens of the grandees. The names of three of 
these are, in Bornouese, rimi, jaja, and ilbug. 
I have obtained some information on the slave- 
trade, which I here give in its crude shape. Slaves 
are classed as follows : — 
MALES. 
1st. Garzab : those who have a beard. 
2d. Morhag : those with beard beginning. 
3d. Sabaai : those without beard. 
4th. Sadasi : grown children. 
5th. Hhamasi, or children. 
FEMALES. 
Ajouza, old women, not classified. 
1st. Shamalia : those with the breasts hanging 
down.
