they found mother with thi ee chldren-two of
the three of tender age She was busy preparing
the Manioc meal her husband was absent fishing
and she could not withstand the nlanhunters and
Christian oppressors who forced their way in.-
The mother sought to escape with the children
but had hardly reached the open plain when she
was seized by the manhuuters Of the mission,
with her children, bound and conducted to the |
shore. The missionary sitting in his boat. |
