Excerpt from Travels in West Africa: Congo Francais, Corisco and Cameroons

I inquired of all my friends as a beginning what they knew of West Africa. The majority knew nothing.

If these were pressed further, one occasionally found that they had had relations who had gone out there after having been sad trials, but, on consideration Of their having left not only West Africa, but this world, were now forgiven and for gotten. One lady however kindly remembered a case Of a gentleman who had resided some few years at Fernando po, but when he returned an aged wreck of forty he shook so Violently with ague as to dislodge a chandelier, thereby destroying a valuable tea-service and flattening the silver teapot in its midst.
