BOSTON SHIPS RUM TO AFRICA.
Natives of Gold Coast Roll Barrels
Hundreds of Miles From Shore.
From the Boston Globe

From the Boston Globe.
= The recent voyage of a certain brig from
Boston to the gold coast of Africa, as de-
scribed for publication by her captain, is
interesting reading. 1t will doubtless in
terest the temperance and missionary So
cieties to know that the brig left Boston
last fall, laden with 10 hogsheads of rum
FOR the little known gold coast Although
she took some other articles, most of the
profits of the voyage were to come from
the rum. So utterly primeval is this iso-
lated part Of the African coast that the
cargo had to be landed through the surf
from the vessel. Through some remark
able aboriginal instinct the natives scent
ed the cargo almost before the brig was
in sight, and as soon as she was at an
Choir dyed through the waves like hungry
sharks.
Among the interesting facts about the
African natives related by the captain is
that since there are no beasts of burden
and no conveyances on the gold coast the
barrels of rum are rolled inland by hand,
so that liquor has been thus rolled hum
dreds of miles into the country 1t is
further related that the natives have be-
come so infatuated with rum carried from
various countries to their coast that a
vessel which proposes to have it's cargo
landed must carry 1t as currency, or no
business can be done. Gold is a deprc
ciated currency as against rum on this
lonely coast. The wonderful 4,000-mile
voyage of this brig to the gold coast with
40 hogsheads of New England rum Of
fers some most interesting suggestions
for missionaries and temperance reform
ers to ponder.
