KAGNABAK ISLAND, BISSAGOS ARCHIPELAGO. 
587 
40 to 50 feet long, and are propelled by fourteen oars a side. During 
war time these pirogues are the dread of the rest of the negroes of 
the Guinea coast, as the Bissagos of Kagnabak make no scruple of 
attacking every vessel they meet. 
I left Kagnabak on the 11th July, the whole population being 
assembled to see me off. The king overwhelmed me with presents, 
and particularly he gave me one bullock, two goats, twenty fowls, four 
bushels' of clean rice, two * turtles, and two gazelles. I also carried 
away a small cargo of copra in exchange for a portion of my “trade,” 
and when all came to be reckoned up my expenses had only reached 
500 or 600 francs. I arranged with Tayacouane that, with the consent 
of the Societe Flers-Exportation, we would establish a trading station 
on the principal island; and everything being settled satisfactorily, I 
made my final adieux, and set sail for Bathurst, the capital of Gambia, 
where 1 arrived on the 20th, having experienced no misadventure 
greater than some damage to the vessel’s rudder. Three weeks later 
I returned to France to enjoy a short season of repose before setting 
•out on another exploring expedition.
