ABSTRACT
This chapter presents an experience of the author travelling from Cabo Corso to Whydah short Stops in at Anamaboe, Montford Barku, Shallo, Accra, R. Volta, the Papau, Coast. At Anamaboo his private Ships finish their Slaving, few or none being got downward, till you reach Whydah. At Montford, Shallo, and thereabouts, they make up the Deficiency of Rice and Corn for the Voyage, the Country appearing fruitful, and with better Aspect than any of those he passed to Windward, intermixed with Hills and Vales; at every League almost, a Town; many Corn-fields, Salt pans and other Marks of Industry, particularly about Accra, which shews they are extricated out of those Difficulties with their Neighbours behind them, that the manner of persuing the Slave-Trade exposes others too. The Ourang Outang, taken now and then at some parts of Guinea, and at the Island of Borneo in East India, has been thought a human Savage.
