time, causing the evil shapes to take to flight.
Most Of the night was given over to the beating
OF drums the women and younger men dancing
in procession all over town.
When night closed in on the scene and the
moon began to shed its soft light through hazy
clouds the nights dancing began. There was
undercurrent OF sadness in it; everybody was lit
orally out for good time. The dancers were
drummed up in groups, the drummers shutting
all through the town to organize procession.
second crowd gathered under the leadership
of man with a string instrument made from a
calabash, and eventually a third group shufied
along to the tune of a caabash strung with iron
rings, the sound being that of a gourd half filed
with dried peas.
The succeeding day was one of the most
eventful of all Before sunrise the men Of the
town brought large stones to the grave and
walled 1t in, making an Enclosure about six feet
wide and 10 feet long. Dozens of empty gin
bottles were brought and placed all around the
grave-a very common custom on this coast. The
mound was then leVeled down and the entire
Enclosure covered with stones and wet sand At
the head they placed a couple of small ivory
tusks, rice bowl containing Wobeh's silver ring
and some kola nuts, two pitchers and small
brass kettle. Across these laid an unsheath
ed sword. The fixing of the grave was not COM
pleted until they had brought small jug OF
rum and poured a little of 1t into each vessel
The thirst Of Wobeh's spirit was apparently more
easily Quenched than had been that of the man
in life-and this enabled the about the
grave to put the greater part of the rum to bet
ter use
After the grave had been properly arranged
the town assembled TO witness the significant
ceremony of killing the white chicken The
principal nephew of the late king knelt on the
grave and held the chickens head above Wobehs
head. King Sow made long speech and then
different members of Wobeh's family gave the
chicken messages to take to his spirit This
part of the ceremony was very solemn and inn
pressiye. Il was clear that they implicitly be-
lieved that their messages would reach their des-
tnation.
Then the nephew pulled on the chickens head
and threw the body down on the grave Curl
ously enough, the headiess chicken iuttered
around until it reached the head Of the grave
and then seemed to be trying to bore its way
down to the king 1t then iuttered away the
Mexico Missouri message., 1909-09-09

jokes very little of it was sad or pathetic. When
the chief widows turn came there was pathos In
her voice. though she gave no other sign or grief
Turning her motherly face to the grave, she sat
there and talked to Wobeh's spirit naturally as
If she were looking into his face. Nobody needed
to cross question her.
There was nothing extraordinary for the next
two days. On the first day the mourning women
taken to tbs 7reek and washed, in order that
they might begin to dress up for the final feast
On the second day the men of the town were as
sembled under the big palaver tree and individu
ally sworn to be loyal to the town. The oath was
administered by making the man drink from
bowl of milkish fluid which was supposed to kill
the if he was insincere. On this day, also,
the brought in large quantities Of frewood
and the women were busy threshing and cleaning
rice and pots
Then came the third and greatest day-the
slaughter of the bullock and the great feast So
far as l could learn there is no sacrihcial idea
involved in the ceremony; the slaughter is solely
for the purpose Of providing for joyful banquet.
The big bullock was led to a vacant place near
the grave Just at sunrise, and securely tied down
its side Its throat was then cut, the wind
pipe being severed, and the animal slowly bled to
death. IT 20 minutes before the animal
ceased to struggle, but its tail had been severed
long before. this being the especial perquisite of
the men selected as butchers
The carcass wac then skinned and King Sow
sat in his leopard chair while the bullock was cut
up. He kept careful watch to see that not even
an ounce of meat taken by anybody. Two
large brass kettles and a large basket placed
in front of him and in these placed the In
ternal organs and the choicest cuts-the kings
meat. Now and then one of the butchers would
overlook some small portion, but the king over
looked nothing; he had the error promptly rect-
fled. Altogether he received about one-third OF
the bullock. The remainder cut up and dis
tributed among the families, to be cooked; posi-
lively no part Of the animal except the hide and
horns discarded. There was not quite enough
to go around, the king ordered a dog killed tc
make up the deficiency.

there was a chorus Of "Ah!" followed
by some excited talking. 1t was eN'

had died on its side.
Then another chicken was brought

another chorus of excited grunts. A
third chicken was killed by a niece
with the same result; but the fourth,
killed by another niece, stopped with
its feet in the air. The crowd went
wild, caught up the girl and marcheu
around the town with her on their

that had been true.
