ABSTRACT
THE sudden and unexpected deportation of their monarch appeared to daze the ASHANTIS. They became listless and supine. COOMASSIE was practically deserted for several years by the mass of the people. The town was placed in charge of OPOKU MENSA (OBUABASSA), NENCHWI (a linguist), and EFIRFA of ACHUMA, and the Resident interfered with them as little as possible.
