they took one out of the water till the news 
reached the town of Kanji (10,) the country of 
the King of Wawi, and the King of Wawi 
heard of it, he buried him in his earth, (grave), 
and the other we have not seen ( 11); perhaps 
he is in the bottom of the water." — And God 
knows best. Authentic from the mouth of 
Sherif Abrahim. — -Finis. 
and they went into the boat, and it reached the 
Mountain Cape, (or Headland,) and was there 
stopped."

his woman (^J^^l) threw every article of 
his property into the river, and then cast them- 
selves into the river through fear.

there seems a confusion with the plural." Sir Wm. 
This act, which appears very improbable, and 
which I never heard of in the oral accounts which 
I received whilst in Coomassie, (Diary, p. 91) if 
it was cominitted, must have been by Lieut. 
Martyn, recollecting the difference of his and 
Mr. Park's dispositions, and Amadi Fatouma's 
anecdote of the former wishing to kill him for 
preventing him from firing any more at the 
people of the King Gotoijege, I should observe 
here, that Amadi Fatouma's Poul nation can be 
killed his wife (9) and threw the whole of her 
property into the river: they then threw 
themselves into the river, fear seizing them (the 
news of this occurrence was then conveyed to 
the Sultan Wawee) until it reached by water 
the territory of Kanjee (10,) in the country of 
the Sultan Wawee, and we buried it (a male 
body) in its earth, and one of them, we saw 
not at ail in the water(l I,) and God knows the 
truth of this report. From tlie mouth of the 
Shereef Ibrahim. — The end. 
no other than the Fillani, (p. 207) the Fullan 
of Ben All, for though it has been translated 
Poul, there is no p in the Arabic, and the Moors 
in Ashantee always wrote / for the negro p, as 
fon for pon. As Col. Maxwell merely observes 
in his letter, that " Isaaco's Arabic Journal was 
translated into English, by a person resident in 
Senegal, who probably had but an ordinary or 
colloquial knowledge of Arabic, it is to be re- 
gretted that the original was not transmitted 
with it, as a more careful perusal of it by Sir 
William Ouseley or some Arabic scholar in 
England, would probably reconcile the two ac- 
counts, at least in the names of places, if not in 
the circumstances, more than they can be from 
the translation remitted.

I have sent the original MS. to the African Association, the following is Mr. Jackson's
