ONLY KNOWN DIARY KEPT BY A SLAVE.
AND HE WAS AN ARABIAN PRINCE.
IN Extraordinary and Interesting Relic, Now in
the British Museum, Is Attracting Much
Attention at the Hands of Scholars
Who Are Hard at Work Trying
to Decip er 1t.

nm .mone white people. and had insenstbiy
adopted white ideas and standards. But
when We consider that the hrst slaves
brought to America were caught In their
native jungies In Africa like SO many Wild
beasts and that the great majority not
only spoke the widest dialects, but had no
scintiila of written language, 1t is doub!y
eXtraord:nsry that there should, among
one of the first ship.oads of slaves to Geor-
gia, have been found a man of sufficient
educa ion and fxity of purpose, not only
to understand written language, but to
have the intelligence, and II we may use
the expression. irrespective interest to
put his opinions On the new and strange
surroundings which confronted him into
the durable form Of diary. The slave
who did this extraordinary thing was an
Arab prince. named Ben Ali, who. while
on q raid himself against the blacks of
the west coast of Africa, was captured
along with the natives.
CAPTOR CAPTURED.
Master and man, prince and underling.
captor and captive. were alike thrust into
a slave ship and brought to America IN
state OF absolute equality. Ben All, by his
intelligence and commanding presence,
soon achieved an enviable position for him.
SET with his new masters. He was set in
authority. he lived IN comparative ease
and comfort, but his hart must often
have yearned for the mad dasnes across
the plains Of Arabia, for the fierce fights
-. ave kraals Of Central Africa, for
the wide stretches of sand in the broad
deserts. and the glorious exhi,arat ton OF
the chase of the ostrich on an Arabian
stee5 whose blood could be traced back to
the days Of King Solomon. All this Ben
All lost, and the effect of his loss upon
him was set down IN wild Arabic in the
little diary which Mr. Goulding possesses.
This diary has been taken to the British
Museum, and parts of it have been trans
iaitd, but 50 much Of it Is written il for
gotten dia.ect that it is difficult even for
the most expert Arabian scholar to deci-
pher 1t accurately. If nothing else. this
diary will live and be remembered as
mute witness to the fact that the slaves
that were brought to America were equal
only in their slavery; individually thss
differed as widely as the poles. What
gulf there was between All Arab prince
and a fetish worshiper from the banana
groves of Guinea?
The greater part of this diary Is taken
up with prayers to Allah, whose name is
written in the most impressive charac-
tiers.
The other writings of Ben All were bur-
led with him, but his little diary has for
that very reason an additional interest
