AMADI FATOUMA^S NARRATIVE. 483 
of this illustrious traveller. As it relates to a sub« 
ject thus peculiarly interesting, we shall transcribe 
the most important parts of it. The following 
carries it on as far as Tombuctoo. We depart- 
" ed from Sansanding in a canoe the 27th day of 
** the moon, and went in two days to Sellee (Silla), 
** where Mr Park ended his first voyage. Mr 
** Park bought a slave to help him in the naviga- 
" tion of the canoe. There was Mr Park, Mar- 
** tyn, three other white men, three slaves, and 
" myself as guide and interpreter, nine in num- 
** ber, to navigate the canoe : without landing 
** they bought the slave. We went in two days 
** to Ginne. We gave the chief one piece of baft 
" and went on. In passing Sibby (Dibbie), three 
" canoes came after us, armed with pikes, lances, 
" bows and arrows, &c. but no fire-arms. Being 
" sure of their hostile intentions, we ordered them 
" to go back, but to no effect ; and were obliged 
" to repulse them by force. We passed Rakbara 
(Kabra) 5 here three canoes came up to stop 
" our passage, which we repelled by force. On 
" passing Tombuctoo, we were again attacked by 
" three canoes 5 which we beat off, always killing 
** many of the natives." 
They are then described as passing by Kaffo, 
Gotoijege, Carmasse, and Gourmon, but without 
any interesting particulars as to these places. 
They entered then into the country of Haoussa^
