The Human Sacrifice 
bearance on this occasion exalted the Egbars 
very much in their own estimation, the more be¬ 
cause they soon afterward, by the assistance of 
the Emir of Illorin and of the king of the Ejay- 
boos, forced the Ebaddans to sue for peace. 
Both Ebekoonleh and Ogumulla seem to have 
died suddenly on their return to Ebaddan, and 
the people being left without an efficient head 
and being cut off both from the coast and from 
the interior, were soon reduced to great straits, 
and forced to end the war for the time by asking 
terms of peace.
