IAN African slave market Is not, per-
hapS, without certain pictnreSqueneSs
OF its own, but there is little room for
such considerations In connection with
this brutalizing traffic. The slaves,
now that escape is hopeless, have their
letters Knocked of, and are better
cared for as the market day draws near.
At the larger depots many thousand
slaves are brought TO the hammer or
otherwise sold 10 the highest bidder,
the purchaser in the first instance uSu-
ally being 4 slave merchant. Prices,
OF course, vary very widely, but an
able-bodied male slave usually sells FOR
about two thousand kauri shells. The
bargain completed, the merchants

market nearer the boundaries Of civil

be believed that they reach their climax
when, 70 the daily horrors OF the march
are added that terror Of the desert
thirst. To march through a wcll-watered
country, however great the fatigue, is
bearable; but the hap!esS slaves suffer
