CHAPTER One
54/73

Reached a cannibal country, where the devils had eaten all the surrounding tribes until they had to take to vegetarianism at last." -- --------------- * Melikani, the unbleached calico made in America that is the most useful trade goods from sea to sea of Central Africa.
** Kanga, cotton piece goods.
