OF THE, COMMISSIONERS OF AFRICAN INQUIRY.
(Continued from outPdrer of Fr:d.ty
Necessity forced us to try therexperiinent; 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, the Krooman
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 coming up with the vessel it
was estimated that they could not go at less than
seven knots an hour., vet in many inslanco ctlg
