kings palace 4, 900 warriors are quartered,
one Of the c~ontingents of the royal army and
the most courageous one. II the presence Of
amazons in tho regions OF the river of that
name is doubted. II cannot be denied that
they exist in Dahomey.
Some of them are clothed in white tunics,
blue or red scarfs, white trousers striped with
blue, and white cape, and armed with guns
and knives; others. the elephant hunters. are
armed with heavy carbines and Short-bladed
swords. this class being clad in TUNES Of blue
and red and caps Of white and the battalion
OF young girls in blue tunics and white caps,
are true ~vestals, pure as Diana, and like their
goddess armed with bows and arrows. When
one sees in addition TO the amazons, 5000 or
5000 male soldiers arrayed in white trousers,
blue caps, and with parti-colored scArfs knot
ted at their shoulders. he eau form an idea Of
the appearance Of the army of Dahomey.
Abomey was that day entirely deserted.
The King and his suite. the masculine and
feminine army, and the entire population had
left the capital and were assembled without
the city OIL a vast PLAIN surrounded by mag
nifcent woods. There on that plain the
celebrations in honor Of the new King were
to take place. II was there that thousands of
prisoners were TO be inundated before night.
II was about two O'Clock when the Alba
tross " arrived over the plain and commenced
TO descend. surrounded by a few clouds
which still hid IL from the eyes Of the natives.
At least sixty thousand people were
gathered below on the plain, attracted from
all parts Of the kingdom, Widah, Kerapsy.
Ardrah. Tombony, and the more distant
villages.
The new king-A vigorous fellow named
Bou- Nadi--about twenty-five years old. occu-
pied q little hilloOk well shaded by the
branching trees.
Around him pressed his new court, his
male army, his nIazons and all his people.
Immediately around the hillock fifty or sixty
musicians were sQuatted, making the air
hideous with their barbarous instruments,
tambours Of asses skins, guitars, EourdS,
pounding brass bells with iron hammers. and

flutes of bamboo shrilly sounding over the
ensemble. Then. at intervals, discharging
of firearms. firing of cannon and bombs; in
short, such an uproar that u clap of thunder
would scarcely have been heard through the
deafening clamor.
In q corner OF the plain. guarded by the
soldiers, were the mass of captives who were
elected to accompany the defunct king into
the other world, one of the privileges of roy
atty, and to the ~obsequies OF Ghoze, father O.
Bahadou, his son had contributed 5000 COM
panions. During an our there were speeches.
h~arangues, palavers, together with dances.
executed not only by the allurinR bayaderes,
but by the amazons as we'll. who deported
themselves with a warlike grace.
But the hour for the hecatomb approached.
Rob ur, who was acquainted with The bloody
customs of the country, had not lost sight of
the prisoners-men, women and children
who were TO be devoted to the slaughter. The
Minghan held himself ready at the foot of
the hillock where the king was seated, bran
dishlng over his head a short-bladed sword of
ponderous weight. This time he was not
alone. Around him were grouped Q hundred
headsmen. who, through long practice, could
decapitate q body at q single blow.
In the mean time the "Albatross" was
slowly approaching, coming down ~obliquely
and moderating the action of its screws. It
soon emerged from the clouds which had
hidden II until within 800 feet from the earth.
and for the first time II was seen.
The ferocious natives who ordinarily would
have been terrified at the apparition, now
flushed with their excitement, took the air
ship for q celestial being descending to do
homage TO King BahRhou.
There arose an indescribRble enthusiasm.
interminable appeals. noisy suppliCations,
general prayers, all addressed to the super
natural ~hippogrih who, they thought, was
coming TO transport the body of the defunct
king into the highest realms of the Dahomian
heavens. The first head rolled from under
tho sabre of the Minghan, and the prisoners
began 10 fall by hundreds under the weapons
Of his bloody assistants.
