The slave trade and slavery is as
much of an institution" out there as
ever II was in our South before the
war. From the interior of Africa come
long caravans bringing the slaves to
the coast towns and the waters OF the
Indian ocean and the Red sea are dot
ted with Arab dhows bearing the cap
tives to the slave marts OF Asia. Many
OF the missionaries have given pledges
that they will not harbor runaway
slaves at their missions. and some
openly have expressed pro-slavery
views. Sir A. Hardinge. that high
British official OF the East African
Protectorate. quotes with approval an
Arab as saying to a missionary
81 buy my slaves with my own hard
cash. or | risk my life and fight for
them, and then you missionaries steal

Sir llardinge seems to think the
