Bello, son, as I have said, of the celebrated Fellata Chief, is 
famed for many very noble actions, and is a man generally beloved. 
He is a great warrior, and the people about him are very well 
armed and appointed. He does not, like the other chiefs, seek 
out the gaudy dresses and toys brought by the Kaffles, but buys 
up arms of all descriptions. Reverence for his religion, and for 
those who are eminent in it, are amongst his virtues. I was ac- 
quainted with a man who passed himself off as a Shreef, which 
he was not, and who had been plundered by the Tuarick. Bello 
actually presented to this impostor one hundred Negresses, thinking 
that he only offered a slight testimony of respect to the memory 
of the Prophet in the person of his pretended descendant. 
Cowries, or shells, are the current money of Kashna, and all 
the towns westward : 2000 is the exchange for a dollar. By way 
of showing their comparative value, it may be mentioned, that a 
fowl costs five shells, a sheep 600, and a bullock 2500. Corn, rice, 
and, indeed, all the necessaries of life, are very cheap in Soudan. 
Rice is purchased at one dollar for 3 cwt. Bullocks are used 
to carry burthens, and to bring the grain home from the fields. 
The asses are fine animals, the camels scarce, and dear in some 
parts.
