MISSION TO ASHANTEE. 
Creppee country, and receive a vast nunciber from one of its pro- 
vinces called Acottim, 3 journies eastward/' 
Mr. Meredith could scarcely have enquired about the Creppee 
or Aquamboe countries, to have placed them west of the Volta. 
The natives who carry salt up the Volta, pull the 1st day, by 
" Agrafee, Foomee, and TefFeree to Amanfee, on the banks ; the 2nd 
to Dofo on an island ; the 3rd, by Ascharee, on the western bank, 
to Adome ; the 4th by Assafoo to the Aquamboe country ; the 5th 
to Sowa ; the 6th to Pessee ; the 7th by Appasoo, to Deyatoompon, 
where a large river flows into the Volta from the eastward ; to 
Doodee the 8th; to Tombo the 9th; to Akorosoo the 10th; to 
Odentee the 11th. Here the river becomes too rocky to proceed 
conveniently, and hence to Sallagha by land is 4 journies, through 
the large towns Oboekee, Akuntong, Enkungquakroo, and Apa- 
passee, famous for making cotton cloth. There is a small state 
northward, betw^een Aquamboe and Inta, called Anobchoo, subject 
to Ashantee, bordering on which is Guasoo, the southern district 
or province of Inta. The Creppee country borders on Aquamboe 
eastward, and is independent. 
I am not in possession of Colonel Starrenberg's bearings, but the 
course of the river may be pretty well ascertained from fixing the 
points of Odentee, Quaoo, and Ascharee. Odentee is 6 journies 
southward of east (by route No. 12) from Pattooda, in the Booroom 
country, and mentioned in the route to Sallagha. Quaoo, the coun- 
try where the Boosempra rises, has already been mentioned as 
entered 8 journies from Coomassie, Ascharee, 2 days and a half 
pull up the river, is reached in 1 day's walk from Ningo. The 
course of the Volta is consequently about W. N. W. to Quaoo, 
N. E. by N. to Odentee, and N. W. by Sallagha, which course it 
appears to continue to Boopee, if not to its source in the Kondoon- 
gooree mountain. The 10 days pull from Adda to Odentee, and
