of food, with cows and sheep ; There were 
two men, one woman, two male slaves and two 
maids in the ship; (5,) The two white men 
were derived from the race {sect) of Nassri ; 
(Christ or Christianity.) The King of Yaud 
asked them to come out to him ; (to land (6) ; 
and they refused coming out, (landing,) and 
they went to the King of the Country of (7) 
Bassa, who is greater than the King of Yaud; 
And while they were sitting in the ship and 
gaining a position (rounding) over the Cape of 
Koodd, and were in society with the people 
of the King of Bassa, the ship reached (struck) 
a-head of Mountain which took (destroyed) 
her away, (8) and the men and women of Bassa 
all together, with every kind of arms; (goods); 
And the ship could find no way to avoid the 
mountain; And the man who zms in the 
ship, killed his wife, and threw all his pro- 
perty into the Sea, (River), and then they 
threw themselves oZ^ofrom fear (9) : Afterwards 
thinking that, from bad writing, ignorance, or 
perhaps some occidental difference, the d is put 
for the Z, * and that it should be Kule or Koala, 
especially as there appears to be a town called 
Kula on its banks, (see routes in Appendix) 
which conaes very close to Kulla, Mr. Brown's 
river. The identity of the Quolla and Kulla, 
seems confirmed by Mr. Dup uis reading the 
name of the kingdom, as written by the Moors, 
Koora, which seems as if they had written it 
for once, according to the negro pronunciation, 
(QuoiTa,) for as 1 have observed (p. 196) that 
the negroes always substitute r forthe Moorish 
I (a defect also characterising a dialect of the 
Coptic, the Chayma, the Tamanack, &c, &c., and 
common, as Baron Humboldt observes, to every 
zone) Koora becomes Koola, for the same rea- 
son which the Quorra of the negroes was always 
* I recollect one, but only one instance of the 
negroes substituting d for the Moorish I, which 
was in Toppodo for Toppollo, a town of 
Borneo , 
woman, and two slaves, and they tied or fas- 
tened them in the vessel. (5) 
There were also in the vessel, two white men 
of the race called Christians (N'sarrah) and 
the Sultan of Eeauree called aloud to them to 
come out of the vessel (6,) but they would 
not. 
They proceeded to the country of Busa, 
which is greater than that of the Sultan of 
Eeauree, and as they were setting in the 
vessel, they hung or were stopped, by the 
Cape or Head Land of Kude(7.) 
And the people of the Sultan of Busa called 
to themi, and poured their arms into the 
vessel, and the vessel reached the head-land 
or cliff, and became attached or fixed to the 
head of the mountain, and could not pass it. 
Then the men and women of Busa collected 
themselves hostilely together, with arms of all 
descriptions, when the vessel being unable to 
clear or pass the Cape, the man in the vessel 
])ronounced Quolla by the Moors ; and Koola, it 
will be allowed, is very near to Mr. Brown's 
Kulla.

in the vessel or ship, " adding, that he is at a 
loss to imagine how it can have been converted 
into "two maids in the ship.''* Sir Wm., how- 
ever, in his hurried notice, rendered it ' female 
slaves.' 
(6) " Invited (or entertained them) until 
they left him," Sir Wm. 
(7) Sir William, in his hurried perusal, read 
this, " and went oh to the country of Besa, and 
(the Sultan of) this country is greater than the 
Sultan of Yaour : there they settled or halted, 
above Ras (Cape) Koumen. The people be- 
longing to the Sultan of Besa saw the boat, 
* Ockdan fi dssafinat, means either Two 
maids, or two female slaves, in the ship," and no 
otherwise. — A. S.
