EXTRACT FRONt THE REPORT -'~•',- OF THE, COMMISSIONERS OF AFRICAN INQUIRY. (Continued from outPdrer of Fr:d.ty Necessity forced us to try the r experiinent ; and we now find that Kroomen will employ them selves in agricultural labour, or in any other way by which they can get inoney They seem to think, at the same time, some kinds of work. much more creditable than others. The washerwomen at Sierra Leone have lately employed their hired Kroomen in'carrying home baskets of wet cloAths troll- the brook: I have heard them grumble very much under their burthens, "because a man was Made to do women's work ;" nevertheless, as they gain money by it, they are dispbsed to put ,up with the indignity. In their expenditure they 'are most rigid econo . mists : a little tobacco is the only luxury which they allow themselves. In every o:ber rtspeet they are contented with the barest necessaries.— They are allowed nothing more for their subsist ence than two pounds of red rice a day (which Makes only from a pound and a half to a, pound and three quarters when clean and fit iese), and of this they will sell half when'rice is dear. Tho' extremely tend of rum when given to them, 1 be— lieve that they never buy it. I speak generally ; •for some Will never drink it, though of ered to Their clothing I have spoken of already : prop bably it does' not cost them ten shillings in a year. The residue of their . f. ) , :ins is converted carefully into such goods as are Most valuable in their own country. In eighteen months or two years, a suf ficient stock having been collected, th e K rooman returns home with 'his wealth. Acc :lain portion .is given to the.head men of the town ;" all his re- • lations and friends partake of his bounty, if there be but a leaf of tobacco. for each ; his mother, if living, receives a handsome present. All this is done in order'' to get him a good name : " what remains is delivered to his father " to buy him a wife:" Gene so liberal does 130 t long want a partner : the father obtains a wife for him, and after a few months of ease and indulgence, he sets off afresh for Sierra Leone, or some of the factories 6n the •coast, to get more money. By this time he is proud of being acquaioted with " white man's fa shion ; " and takes with him some raw inexper iencedyouugster,-.whom he initiates into his own profession, tektng , no smallportion of the wages, of the eleve for his trouble. In due time- his cof 'fer's are replenished ; he returns home, confirms his former - character fof liberality, and gives the residue or his. wealth to his fat::er to " get hilt another wit*" In this way he proceeds perhaps for ten or twelve years, or more, it crcasing tha number of his wives, and establishing a great cha racter anions his countrymen ; Init scarcely a p-;•- tide of his earnings is appropriated to his - own' use. I have beard ofone Krooman, who had 1$ .wives ; twelve and fourteen I am told are not un commOn ; the Kroomen who returned home in the Crocodile frigate, when that vessel went down the African coast with the Connuissionel-s of Ari:can Inquiry, had mostly three or fonr. The number of Krdo canoes which push off to trading vessels, many miles from land, wishtrifiing articles for sale, is another proof that they do not spare • their labour if they have the slightest hope Profit. TWO or three pounds of tobacco IF, perhaps, the utmost they can get in exchange for their goods; and for this trifle they Ns - i 1 1 soniel times row out to sea ten, twelve, or fifteen miles. We had not less than twenty canoes at a time about the Ciccou'ile, one afternoon, offering their fish for sale ; and'they kept up with us by mea rs 'of their paddies, more than an hour, while the Crocodile was going from five to six knots_ by the log. A leaf or two of tobacco was all they got .for a fish, and few of them nad any tansideraoic . .number for sale. In comin g up with the vessel it was estimated that they could not go at less than seven knots an hour., vet i n man y inslanco ctlg 'canoe was only paddled by ti.:o men. (up be cot tirled,) . • A ~
