ABSTRACT

February 15th, 1886.-1 expected to have had an early interview with the king, but discovered that it was not the custom to receive entire strangers at once, so 1 was placed in a sort of quarantine. During this tinle they were deciding, according to their own wisdom and skill, whether my intentions in coming to the country were good or bad, and \vhether my heart was as white as my skin. Diviners and doctors from far and near were employed for this purpose.
